Email: Week#74 in Paraguay

Last Tuesday was just super awesome because we had a family home evening with Roque and his family. It was cool because they all got to know the ward and vice versa. It got super competitive because we played jeopardy haha. It was a good time. Roque's sister Lida is really neat, she went to church once and I think she will progress well.

Wednesday was something because we spent almost the whole day moving. We had to help some elders clean out an empty house because there are less missionaries in the area now. It was crazy, we stuffed all the stuff into my house because it is really big. Now we have a ton of extra stuff in the house!

Friday was the crazy day. We had to help Sergio before his baptismal interview, but he didn't come back from the campaña! We were freaking out because we thought he might not get baptized, but he came like at 6! So we somehow were able to still teach him and get the interview done! It so stressed us out because we just went all over the place trying to get a hold of him, so it was so relieving to get it done.

Saturday was the big day! It was the BAPTISM OF SERGIO! It was so cool. He invited his family and they came! That was a surprise. It was a really neat service, where one of the young men did the baptism just like last time. I made a ton of brownies for the baptism, since he is like in love with them a ton.

So today was crazy because I traveled on Sunday night to Asuncion, which was about 6 hours away. It just sucked a bit because we left at 11.30 at night, so I didn't get to sleep. I just couldn't sleep on the bus, it was uncomfortable. So that was a long ride, but we made it for a capacitation with the mission President and it was just a long one because I was just so dead tired. I played some basketball to wake me up at 5 in the morning haha. Now I think once I get back I am going to crash definitely, don't think I can make it much longer.

Love,
