Email: Week#88 in Paraguay

Hi,

So now my companion is just Elder Gomes. I am happy because we are really good friends. We are like basically the same. We like the same things and always are thinking the  same haha. He is really cool. I stayed in my area, so I am with Ignacio and Maria still. But... Gloria is now in the other area, the girl that wanted to get baptized. But it was cool this Sunday because the members brought a friend to church! So we will have to see what she thought about it.

I am talking with all the members and they are always like... ah only 5 weeks left! It is so crazy. It is really hard to believe that my time is almost over. I am trying hard to take advantage of every moment with the members because I will never see them again! I don't know what I will be doing when I get home.

Well... today was super fun. We had a zone activity and I organized a game of jeopardy and it was really fun. It got to be super competitive. So then we played some ultimate frisbee and ping pong and ended by playing some Uno. It was a ton of fun and turned out super well.

So lately we found out that Ignacio went to Bolivia! I hope he doesn't stay there too long because he planned on it. But so that kinda puts a hold on things for us. Other than that, it has been raining a ton! It is like so crazy. The worst part is that the house gets a big flooded when it does. Well... other than the baptisms, the members are doing well. We had 41 attendance on a rainy day! In Paraguay that is a miracle. It was pretty cool. We have been having 52 the last two weeks, so it was really neat to see it grow. The members are all doing really well.

But I guess that is pretty much it. Today was SUCH a fun day!

Love, 

Elder Crandall
