Cambios

Hey guys hope all is well with you guys. I'm here, working, living, breathing. What more could you ask for? Right? Life is good, I really am just working. I don't really care what happens this week in transfers. If I stay I will be happy and if I go I will be happy. It's the way it is here in the mission. This week was the holy week here in Paraguay. At home is only Easter day, Sunday. Here it is a holiday all week long. We saw a whole lot of rain! A WHOLE LOT OF RAIN. until Sunday where the sun came out and the weather was perfect. I find that interesting because Sunday was the day that Christ was resurrected.  There are some really weird traditions here. For example Friday is when Christ died and we can"t eat meat this day. So I went without a whole lot of meat for this week. But they eat a ton of Chipa. We ate tons. It was delicious. I ate fish this week. It was disgusting but I ate it. They had fished it from the Paraguay River. My companion is used to eating fish for where she lives but it is not my favorite food. This area is really exploding with people who are ready to accept the gospel. We´re trying our best to help them. It will be sad that one of us will be leaving. The ward is amazing here. But we do the will of the lord. I don't like to think about how much time I have here in the mission. It gives me a headache. This is my life now, I don't want to be anyone else. I've forgot my first name and want to be Hermana Ross forever. I feel like I don't have words to tell you guys these days. Maybe that's because I am not used to speaking English, or I'm just lost more in what I'm doing here than in knowing what to write you guys. I´ll be sending pictures this week from my companions camera. Hope you guys like them. Really I  don't have any idea when I will be talking to you guys for skype. I had forgotten that mothers day is next month. When I find out you guys will know. Sorry that the letters are so short. I'm good and happy here in Paraguay. Love you guys too

Love Hermana Ross

There is nothing like a good rainstorm.

The streets are like rivers here in Paraguay.
