Ivan's house in Paraguay
This week it rained way too much, if I had to guess I would say it rained about 10 inches on Tuesday if not more. We kinda had to cross a river that appeared out of nowhere to get back to our house. They stopped the buses, and peoples houses flooded and everything, here there is absolutely no need for sprinklers. It is a cool day today.We went to visit one of our investigators who´s about 16ish. He basically told us that he wasn´t super interested but that his friend that we had talked to last week really wanted to talk to us becasue he wanted to get baptized, and we went and talked to him and his mom said that he should just go and get some godparents so that he could get baptized already, it was pretty funny. He´s a super awesome person, it is really nice when people just understand exactly what they need to do to acheive happiness.
Someone made me mashed potatoes for the first time here in Paraguay and they were good, but just not nearly as good as the Thanksgiving potoatoes we would have back home,
Everyone loves the word of wisdom lesson (no smoking, doing drugs, or drinking of alcohol) but a lot of times they just don´t have enough faith in themselves and in Jesus.
A lot of people here have mandioca, mammon, naranja, muchos limones, and that´s about it.
Our sacrament meeting is last, so either they get here at 8, and stay, or they get there anytime in between for what they can and then stay for the sacrament.
Right now we are teaching AA and JN, a family, RN, a 16 year old, CS, who breaks all 5 points of the word of wisdom, and a bunch of other people in the grab bag. AA just needs her mother in laws 7 day funeral to end and then she´ll be at church. RN just needs to complete with going to church 3 times, and CS just needs to change all his whole way of life.
