Week 103 - Transferred, Ivan is an Angel, Working with Members, Spicy Food

Well, we got transfers, and I´m now in San Isidro, a neighborhood in Lambaré, which is just barely south of Asunción, and this place is packed full of people. We've got big streets, small streets, and alley ways, and walkways just wide enough for one person to walk through.  I´m in the big city now, but in the residential area, it´s a blast, because everything is just fast, and great.

And everyone here is either super nice or not nice at all, there´s really no one that´s in between. 

My new companion is Elder Black, and he lived most of his life in Los Angeles, California, and he´s a great missionary, he´s been out for about 8 months, we´re having a blast already. My companion now is just the best, he´s humble, a great teacher, and yeah. I got here and we´re finding and teaching like crazy.  Elder Black and his last companion have been working hard, and we´re still finding tons of people, it´s great.  A lot of the people here call us angels, so that's a nice self esteem booster...

The members here are awesome too, they always find us in the street and tell us that they want us to meet their friends. And we do. the only hard thing is that people move a lot here, so members are always leaving and coming and investigators as well.

There´s a Mexican missionary who lives with us that always makes us spicy food, so that´s fun. 

The senior missionaries come and clean the ward list and take out all the inactive members that don´t live there any more, since the ward secretaries here have a hard time. They also visit some of the people they find. 

I guess she´s training 2 because that´s what God wanted, because there are plenty of sisters in the mission now. 

RN is probably so mature because his mom is single and he works and goes to school, he told us that his dad died 3 years ago. RN is sooooooooooo committed to baptism,  He is sooo excited to get baptized huh.
