Oh hey there everyone back home,
Everything is going well in good ole Posta Leiva B. The biggest news that I have this week is that some warehouse right behind our house burned down a little bit. It´s technically still standing and whatnot but the inside is all burnt and charred and it´s pretty sweet. Our dueño (the dude that we pay to live in our house) and his wife decided that they wanted to kill some wasps in there, and in Paraguay the obvious way to kill them is with fire! So yeah, somehow they ended up burning everything inside and it was not good, and in the end they had to cut the power to our house for 2 days. But, we don´t have AC or hot water anyway so it was just dark for a while. :D But yeah, power has since returned and it´s all good. In other great news, Fanta has come out with their new Piña flavor! Yeah! It´s pretty great.
This week was pretty cool on the missionary work side too! We met some old dude named Inocencio this week during one of our contacts and he invited us in and all that good stuff. We mentioned church once and he told us that it would be "very interesting" to go to our church and share the gospel with people. So before we even invited him to come, he told us that he´d like to come with us on Sunday. We thought that was kinda cool, but didn´t think he´d come because he was kinda old and seemed a little confused about what was going on. But.....he came! Good ole Inocencio came just the same! (I hope that doesn´t break copyright laws or something because now I´m on a blog :) ). So, we´ll go back and visit him some more and I think good things are going to happen. Everyone pray for Inocencio! Also this week, I ate fish for the second time in Paraguay. It wasn´t very good, but I hate fish anyway so maybe that was why it wasn´t good. We had to walk 50 minutes to get to it too which wasn´t fun. It was out in an asentimiento which is kinda like Paraguay´s version of a trailer park, but so much more ghetto. The houses are made out of garbage and tarps and stuff. I have a picture that I´ll send! But yeah, the fish didn´t kill me and it´s all good. I watched a goose mess up a cat there, so it was worth the walk I guess.
Today for P-day we went into Asunción and went to Mercado 4! It is some random market place that actually isn´t that cool, but I´ve been there at least and now I know what it´s like. It´s in the South mission and we had to get permission to go there and stuff, but that was about the only thing that made it cool. I didn´t get pickpocketed or mugged or anything so that´s good!
I think that´s about all of the exciting news that I have for the day, but it´s been a pretty exciting week for sure. Now it´s working time and time for a delicious Piña Fanta! I´m still safe and sound and happy and everything is going swell! I love you all! Stay happy and safe!
Love,
Elder Morris
