This week like so many others was nuts (like all the Paraguayans this week) Tuesday was normal, we were still showering with cold water, well I was heating hot water and showering with buckets still and starting to get a cold. And it has been pretty chilly outside and especially at night. I sleep in my pájamas and a sweatshirt and socks and 3 blankets. We had nothing but the oven to heat our house!
Then Wednesday we had a conference with a 70, Elder Gonzolez. That was really cool, it was with casi (almost) all the missionaries in the mission except the ones out in the middle of no where. We all went to Moroni, where the temple is. We had to be there at 12:30 so we left at 10 ish to take collectivos and to be able to eat something first. So then we were all in the chapel sitting waiting for the meeting to start and studying and talking to other missionaries. It didn't start until like 1:30 but before that we all got to go up and greet Elder Gonzolez and his wife. That was cool. And I found out there are mostly Americans as missionaries and then Peruanos. First President and sister McMullin spoke and then elder and sister Gonzolez spoke. it was really good! Hermana Gonzolez spoke about the book of Mormon and how cool it is that we can be here teaching the descendants of the book of Mormon the people of Nephi! Which really is cool. And they talked about contacting and teaching and listening to the spirit and baptizing. It was really good. Then we got to take a picture with him (as a mission ) I hope I'm in it because I was in the back haha and then it was about 6 and we had to wait for a collectivo. Then we took one that was PACKED I stood in the most uncomfortable position for about an hour and a half Then some hermanas wanted to sing so all of us missionaries sang hymns all the way home. that was interesting but passed time... Then we got back to our house around 8 and we went out and tried to find one of our investigators but she wasn't home so we went home and studied for half an hour. Very eventful :) and my back hurt worse from sitting than walking all day with my backpack. But it was really good.
Then Thursday was normal,
Friday yeah that was normal too But we got out water fixed yay now I can shower normal incase you were all wondering. But I got a stupid cold from it.
Saturday we visited Isidro our investigator and his girlfriend Rosio who is a member. Well they have a son and are not married and he wants to be baptized and she doesn't want to get married. But we fasted and prayed a lot for them. Aaaaannnd Saturday she said she would get married and go to church and before he told us that she wanted a book of Mormon and to go to church!!! Ohh we were so happy!!!! Woo! We're gonna have a wedding and a baptism!! Oh I'm so excited! I just hope I don't get transferred. We have changes next week and his date of for the 4th of July. But what ever happens it will happen so its all good! Its just so exciting! :) I cant believe it these 6 weeks just flew by!
And then Sunday was el Dia del Padre and wow these people are nuts! There was a ton of drinking a partying and craziness and loud music and asado(bbq) I don't really like asados you get a chunk of meat ( I don't know what part it is) but you can't chew it its so tough you chew a little for the flavor and then have to spit it out haha but we ate other things.
And si. Yesterday and today were warmer it will probably be warm until we get another storm. I like the cold. There's lost of chipa and everyone is bundled up and drinking mate. And its not hot. Now it is in the 20's in Celsius 25 ish I don't know what that is in Fahrenheit.
And that's pretty much it! Live is good with hot water of course, even with out it it was fine. And the work goes on. :) You're all amazing I love you so much! Have the best week ever!
Love Hermana Sarah
