Transfers are ..... Tomorrow!

Hey guys,

 So I'm good here in Piribebuy. Tomorrow I will find out if i will be leaving or not. I had interviews with President on Tuesday. He told me that I should not  put my mind at home before I get there, ha ha but I think as missionaries we have a tendency to do that.  

This week we had a conference with Elder Bednar that covered all of Paraguay and Uruguay. He was straight to the point. There are many things that I have faced in the mission that are not easy. I never thought that sometimes I would have to teach the MEMBERS how to repent. But Elder Bednar "bajo la caña" as we say here in Paraguay. He told every single member that they need to learn the importance of repentance. That they can't choose or elect their bishops, that they need to get married, and that they need to pay their tithing. He said that we are not of the world so the members need to stop thinking like the world. WOW! It was interesting. We rented a bus to take all of us to the church house in Caacupe. And we stopped by the area of the other elders in our district to pick up their new converts to come to church. It was pretty cool to see all of those people who were baptized in the baptism Guazu get on the bus with smiles and to see that they are all staying strong. The gospel is true! In our mission we are baptizing more than 100 people a month. The work is being pushed on. It needs to be done and it needs to be done now. 

So to answer some of the questions that dad had for me,

I have bought a nativity scene, and a flag of Paraguay. Today I'm going to buy the typical dancing clothes for the girls and for the boys. They are on sale because Independence day just passed. I also bought the typical cup for drinking the yerbs here in Paraguay. Today I'm going to be heading to the Basilica. The biggest catholic church in Paraguay where the virgin of Caacupe supposedly comes to give blessings the first week of December. I want to buy one of the  virgins.... they are dressed as queens and they have blond hair and blue eyes. Its crazy. There are a lot of things that I will be bringing home. But none of it is going to be what I brought with me, just so you all know. The weather is getting HOT. The cold didn't hit to hard this year so everyone is saying that this summer it is going to be HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha at least I won't be here when it is the hottest, in December, January, and February. Well I  don't know what else to tell you guys. Good luck with school.

Love you all,

Hermana Ross

These are the Cheerleaders of the High schools .
Can you believe that they do cheers in black high heels?

This was a parade that we saw here in Piribebuy.
 All the schools go and  they are in uniforms.

Happy Child's Day!

These little girls are in the typical dancing clothes of the people of Paraguay.
