I am still in my same area with the same companion. I this next cambio (transfer) I will be staying here and Hermana Cortez will be heading off. So this week Silvio was baptized. His mom came and not his dad. It was a little sad but Silvio invited a friend. And Sunday Silvio and his friend and his friend's family came to church., It was a miracle. We also had ward correlation. Things didn't quite run like they were supposed to. I didn't even know what to think. Friday we had a large family home evening. Well it was my idea. and it was a disaster! It was the day of the child. A holiday here in Paraguay. Well a group kids came and ate all of the food and ran through the halls with the fire hydrant. For the baptism of Silvio Saturday we spent a good hour cleaning up the mess. It was a disaster. But the ward mission leader wants to do it again. This is what the ward council talked about the whole time! But on the bright side we have some way awesome new investigators. Silvio was late coming to church so he didn't receive the gift of the Holy Ghost but he will next Sunday. And we have some new awesome investigators.
Story of the week.We got some referencias from different sister missionaries and we called them and they said that they wanted to meet us at the church building. In all honesty Hermana Cortez and I were a little sketched (stressed) out. What investigators want to meet the missionaries at the church and were willing to wait thirty minutes to do so? Well this happened yesterday. So we were walking to the church thinking that they aren't going to be there and we arrive at the church and see the most beautiful family waiting just outside the gate for us. IT WAS A MIRACLE!!! We have new investigators. They are a family of 5. Three young boys. The oldest is 8 years old. They are so prepared for the gospel its insane! They speak like they knew the gospel and they are amazing. We had a lesson in the church with them about the plan of salvation and we showed them the building. It was an amazing miracle. We have this family and the family of the friend of Silvio. They assisted (attended) the church and our miracle family of 5 are going to attend this other Sunday. Sorry family this is really hard to write because the backspace is not working and my letter is being deleted as I write it. But we have two families and one of them was because of the example of a 10 year old boy.
This week we are going to do divisions. The leader sister missionaries are coming to stay at our house this Wednesday and we are going to do splits in our area. Hermana Cortez is a little nervous about it. But I'm excited. I like to get different views of how do things. It is really, really hard to write you guys today because of this stupid keyboard. But Total is bien (good)! I am not sick anymore and Today I bought the coolest scripture cases and that are only from Paraguay! I love them and when I receive them in 2 weeks I will take pictures and send them. Tuesday I received the letters from you mom and from Grandma and Grandpa Ross for my birthday! I receive mail Tuesdays during reunion de distrito.
So I have noticed that when something good happens something bad has to happen before or after. After the baptism of Silvio we went to teach our little young couple. Well we came to find out that they don't live in their house anymore. And they now live in the area de the leaders of the zone. INSERIO!?????? Those leaders have all the baptisms! Dang it!!!! We were so super sad about this but we are going to have the family of five!
Not much is new. I love you guys so much! And I know that when times are difficult that We have someone else there to help us. Sorry this letter isn't as long because the keyboard is driving me nuts!
Love, Hermana Ross,
Other idea s for Christmas. lemonade mixes for bottles. macaroni mixes. I liked your ideas in the letters. But I would love, love, love pictures that I could give my investigators for their baptisms. And things that will help me study. I need to work on remembering scriptures.
Oh and funny story. WE taught this guy this week and during the lesson when there was a really spiritual moment a bird pooped on my head! hahahahahahahahaha
