So this week has been a real wet one. It rains almost everyday, but we kind of like it because it has cooled down a bit. In the mornings, it is even a bit chilly and we all end up studying with blankets and socks on our feet. Oh, I even used a cardigan on day! I guess it is normal for it to be really cold in the morning, warm up during the day, and then cool off again in the afternoon. The weather in Paraguay is crazy!
On day we were visiting a recent convert and for some reason she loves to feed us every time we go over so she fed us this bread stick with dulce de guava and some warm milk tea drink! We later found out that we weren't allowed to drink this certain tea...ooops! But it was really good, and we had a wonderful lesson.
So, like I said, I love this area and all the people here! Every time we walk past this neighborhood, there is this group of kids who always yell "Hermanas"!!! And want us to come say HI to them. Well, one day we went up there and there was this ADORABLE little chubby kid sitting on a bench. He shouted "Hola Chicas" or "Hi Ladies", and asked us our names. Then he said he was going to write in his journal so he would never forget us! M companion and I were dying we were laughing so hard! goodness....
This week we also had a family night with our investigators who are preparing to be baptized. I love this family so much!!! There is a grandma {who is HILARIOUS}, a mom, and her 5 kids! Her youngest boy at first was so afraid of us, and would cry every time he saw us. Now he loves us... and always wants to shake our hands! Anyways, we taught a lesson about The Holy Ghost and did a little demonstration with the kids. We blindfolded the oldest boy and had him listen to the still small voice{my companion} and walk through a maze while everyone else was trying to get his attention. They loved it, and not to mention the spirit was so strong! I love seeing the Gospel strengthen this family and see them become closer and closer together. After that lesson, the daughter who is 10 years old, told her mom about an experience she had the next day at school, and that The Holy Ghost was with her in class and that he was there to help her! How Cute!!!
Friday we helped the bishop sell hamburgers to raise money to rent a bus on Sundays to pick up all the less active families that don't have enough money to come to church. That was fun, and now I know how to make Paraguay hamburgers.
Anyways, we had a wonderful week, and each day I learn more and more! I hope everyone is doing well, and I miss you all!!! Can't wait to hear from you all!
Love you,
Hermana Sanders
