This week was pretty good, the rain made it not so fun to be a missionary this week, but things ended up just fine, we talked to a huge family this week, the sister told us to go by at a certain time and wasn´t even there, but everyone there received us real well. We learned a bunch and it was a great way to end a wet day.
the brother of a recent convert is going to try to get armadillo for us to eat tomorrow, so we´ll see how that goes.
Jesus suffered for us only becasue he wanted to forgive our sins, and sometimes humans are just hard hearted people. I really like what it says in the prayer in Matthew 6 where Jesus asks God to forgive us according to hwo we forgive others).
One of my questions for general conference (a biannual meeting where all church members meet via satelite) is going to be why it´s so hard sometimes for people to just act in good ways on the truth and knowledge they have (gospel).
We´ve got 3 deacons, a couple teachers, and 3 priests. This member is awesome for Paraguay for fellowshipping new members, just getting the new members is the trick.
New food of the week was Patté de Higado, which is a cream that they use for bread that is basically ground up liver, but it really just tastes like tuna. It´s really good.
Nothing really super exciting happened this week, we talked to lots of people and we taught quite a few.
I got a huge bag of paraguayan grapefruits (his favorite fruit) for my birthday (probabably about 40)
I want a turkey so bad right now...
The flooding is really fun when we don´t have any need to cross it, because it cleans stuff up and carries the trash away. The stream came past my knees.
THANKS FOR ALL THE BIRTHDAY WISHES
