Hello Everyone!!!



Hello everyone!!! 
This week was a little stressful because we had been preparing for a baptism for this Saturday. Unfortunately, it was pushed back to April.  Until then, we are going to work on teaching our little family how to read. Also, this week we found these adorable less active family of about 5 or 6 kids. They have not been to church for about 4 years, but this Sunday they came!!!! It was so amazing! What made it so amazing was that our ward rented a bus for all the menos activos {Less Active Members}because lots of people live really far away. So about 10 minutes after 9, the chapel was looking really empty... then all the sudden, crowds and crowds of people came walking in. We had the highest attendance I have seen since I have been here. It was so cool seeing all these new faces, and people coming to church again. 

Also the weather has been crazy, as usual. Right now it is pouring rain, but I can promise you after we are done emailing it will be sunny once again. We have only been caught in one rain storm this week and we were walking from the outer skirt of our area. We had to run for cover and wait for the rain to die down. Other than that we have been blessed with being inside our house, or others. But I can´t complain, because it cools things down a lot. 

Today was an awesome day. We met the dentist today at 9 in the morning which was close to our apartment.  After our appointments, the dentist's brother, along with her mom and cute little baby, drove us around all day. This is how our day started...We ran some errands with them, and got fed big mac's, juice & sprite!  Then we drove around Asuncion and to the airport. After that we went to the dentist office and got our teeth cleaned... NO CAVITIES!! woohoo! Then they took us to a store that had an American isle and I bought SKIPPY PEANUT BUTTER!!! and some other American food! It was so fun!!!  We were laughing the whole time.  They insisted on taking us to Dominos {the only one in Paraguay} He ordered 3 HUGE pizzas!  Because we obviously couldn't eat it all, they gave us a whole pizza to take home! Oh, did I mention we were out of our mission too! OOPS... Probably the only time ever!!! After that, they took us to the mission office where we got all of our supplies that we needed. So today, we made some really awesome friends. It was great!!! 

I am doing really great.  I love teaching these people and I love the spirit that I feel each day. I only have one more week before the change,{transfers} which have gone by way to fast. I am hoping I will get to stay with my companion one more change,{transfer} because she is the best! But we will see. Love you all! 

Love,
