Why hello everyone,
I´m not sure what I really do all week because it seems like only yesterday that I was writing to you people! Crazy! I´d just like to point out that it felt like yesterday that I had 6 months and I will now complete 7 in about a week. Weird. Everyone here says that the mission pretty much doubles in time after the first year. I can´t really imagine it going any faster but we´ll see I guess. I´m content here :D This week was pretty normal I think. Yesterday it was freakishly cold (at least it felt like it) so at least I didn´t have to wear a sombrero. Today it was also freakishly cold for our trip to Asunción but the thermometer said it was like 66...I´m not excited for when the thermometer actually says it´s cold. We´re already halfway through the final month of heat here though so I´m pretty stoked. In other exciting news, we had stake conference this sunday so we got to take a bus full of members to San Lorenzo. It was pretty fun. The temple president´s wife spoke and it was fun to hear her super American accent. The natives seemed to think it was funny too. And it was like a record low amount of Guaraní spoken during the meeting so I pretty much understood it all. Yay!
Investigator news is that precious 10 year old Antonio is getting baptized this Sunday which will be pretty cool. His mom´s boyfriend is the Norberto guy and he´s just legit. He´s been coming to church and just eats all the stuff up. He even bought himself a tie so he could be legit too for conference. We´ll be talking to him tonight so we´ll see what happens there. He also has an 8 year old daughter that likes primary a lot. They are just a precious family. :D
The whole Tsunami and stuff in Japan is really scaring the Paraguayans here. Lots of the members keep predicting Apocalypse stuff and it´s pretty intense.
Also, today Elder Sperry and I went to Asunción to go to the dentist! Sperry kinda broke his tooth a while ago eating really really tough/crappy meat and so we went to get it fixed on Thursday. Then they told him to come back today to fix other cavities, but when we got there they told us to come back in 2 weeks. Sigh. I hate taking the buses to Asunción.
Other than that, I think it was business as usual. We´re working hard and my feet hurt sometimes, but we´re seeing lots of success so I´m just pleased as punch. I love you all back home! Stay smart and happy! :D
Love,
Elder Morris
