It gets so freaking cold here, I just keep thinking....... I'm going to die when i go back home. I'm so dang used to the heat of Paraguay my body cant handle the cold. It was a cold week. The 22 year old young man we've been teaching wasn't baptized because he had smoked the week before. Really he is a miracle. He will be baptized this week if he keeps up the no smoking thing. He really has been through a whole lot in his life. But he is a whole heck of lot more ready than anybody else here. Did you guys ever read about the virgin of Caaupè. Everyone here are Catholics and are dropping us like bombs. Its been a little discouraging. And I remember how it is in Utah. Everyone judges very easily. I sure hope that I've overcome that because I know that I was like that. But It doesn't matter when it all comes down to Christ. For every single catholic who has slammed a door in my face telling me where to go to, I will remember this young man, one of the people who had lots of sins and is willing to do anything to be clean. There are some nice and bad things about being in a small town. But there is gossip and it spreads like wildfire. Its not very fun. Just learn that obedience is the key to EVERYTHING.
Funny story. So we were doing a division with the sister leaders in our area and as we were studying the Jehovah witnesses sister missionaries came knocking on our door. That was sure interesting. They are really scared of us.
Tomorrow I'm going to the temple and I'm so dang excited. I haven't been in forever.
This Sunday it rained all day long and we had an assistence of 26. When we got to the church at the hour it started there were four of us. And that wasn't even the branch president. Our district leader calls every Sunday to ask about the attendance in church and when he heard he just laughed and said that there were 5. Four elders and one investigator. This area has some serious work.
Well we are coming to the end of the transfer.
We`ll have to see what happens, how I hold out.
