February 28, 2011 - Posta Leiva

I have now officially been on the mission for over 6 months which is pretty crazy!

Hello everybody!
Another week down in Paraguay. This week was passed with 5 of the 7 days full of rain. It was nice in that it was quite cool for those days, but it was also very wet. I most certainly gave my missionary mall shoes a run for their money. They seem to have survived and are still hanging in there! It´s really difficult to do missionary work when it´s rainy and awful cause nobody wants to talk to us at all so hopefully the rain is over now. Now that the rain is gone, it´s gone back to being hot. The locals say that it´ll start to cool down some time in march. They also say that drinking milk and eating watermelon at the same time will kill you. So we´ll see how it all goes I suppose.
In other exciting news, our showers don´t work in our house which was pretty sweet. Luckily it was cold and rainy so I didn´t have to shower too much. Yay Paraguay! A dude was supposed to come and fix it today but he didn´t come. So I dunno what we´re gonna do. And we found out today that since our house is technically outside of our proselyting area, we´re going to have to move. So now when we´re out contacting and whatnot we get to search for a new house! And changes are this wednesday. It was a pretty quick change for sure. Also grandparents, your package came today and it was most appreciated. I´ll have to save the hot chocolate for a month or so but then it´ll just be great.(I would now do a smily face using a colon and a D but I am once again using a stupid Portuguese keyboard and I dunno where anything is.)
An area 70 president man came today and had a big meeting with all of the district and zone leaders of the mission and did some crazy stuff. He´s whipping the mission back into shape cause it was sorta falling. So now he´s doing all sorts of fun stuff and hopefuly it is great.
All in all it was just a magical week in Posta Leiva. The time just keeps passing all crazy quick like and it´s crazy. I love you all!

Love,
Elder Morris
