Feliz Semana Santa! J/K {Happy Easter}



{Because of Him} 7 days till Easter FHE



Hello everyone!!!

So this week was pretty good. There was only one part which was somewhat terrifying and funny at the same time. My companion and I were walking down a dirt road and it ended up being a dead end. All the sudden, while we were discussing what we should do, these huge boxer dogs started running at us and barking like crazy. Well, at this moment I learned something new about my companion... If dogs ever run at her she will stand there and scream. I on the other hand, ran, grabbed a rock and threw it at them. I guess you can say that she has the "fight" and I have the "flight". Luckily we were alright, and laughed it all off afterwards.

So we found this cute little investigator this week, well I guess you could say that he found us. We were teaching one of our recent converts and her cousin came up and asked us if we could start teaching him. He wanted all the pamphlets and he wanted a Book of Mormon. It was so cute when he kept telling us he cant wait to read them with his mom and how he wanted to come to church. He kept telling us how grateful he was that we had come and taught him. Once again another example how the Lord prepares others to be taught.

Another amazing experience we had was while contacting in the streets we both felt like we should go clap at a door. While we were going to the house the lady who was in the yard earlier had entered her house. We both looked at each other and said, "Not important, let's go clap this house". The lady who lived there ended up being a member. We had a really good lesson, and at the end she ended up crying. We bore our testimonies and told her that the Lord had sent us here for a reason and that He wanted her to know how much He loved her. She told us that her son had been asking to go to church again, oh and by the way her son is not a member, and how she felt like Heavenly Father was answering her prayers and telling her to come back to church. It was really neat experience as well. Being instruments in the Lords hands is amazing, and helps strengthen my testimony everyday.

This week we also made some homemade peanut butter to celebrate my 6 months on my mission. We went to the super down the road to get some peanuts and while we were there a guard came up to us. He knew a little bit of English and told me that I was really beautiful.

And he ended up giving me his number... awkward. I just invited him to go to church because I didn't know how to respond. I said,"Very good English, so every Sunday at 9 in the morning..." yup. ha ha

This morning we went played volleyball at the "beach". We went with a big group of Elders and yes... we beat them pretty bad. Poor Elders.... And it was really pretty lake too, which was another plus.

Oh so it is beginning to feel like winter here now, I guess. It was pretty cold in the morning and in the night. But during the day it was warm and sunny again. Crazy Paraguay.

 

Well love you all and have a great week! This week is Holy week, so sounds like we will be eating a lot of food. Let you know how that goes next week. LOVE YOU!!!!

Love,
