Oh hey there family!
This week was one of those without too many exciting things happening. Today is the first day of Autumn here which is pretty cool. It still feels like hot death so we´ll see how everything works out. There have been a couple of cold mornings, and it´s really hard to take a shower without hot water. But, we are moving really soon because we have to be out of our house by April 1! Eeek! We have a couple of options so tomorrow will be investigation day! Woo! It´s weird to go house shopping with my comp. That´s what married people do.
Also in exciting news, they apparently have daylight savings time here, but absolutely no one has any idea of when it is, so pretty much every weekend we just hope that our cell phone will auto update and wake us up when it needs to. So far it hasn´t happened. Maybe this weekend?
Elder Sperry and I did a division with the Zone Leader that we live with and his companion. I went with the junior comp of that group. His name is Elder Macias (he´s not latin). He has like 2 months here in Paraguay so it was kinda cool cause for the first time I was the senior comp. I got to call all of the shots like a boss! It was pretty good cause I never got confused when people were talking, and none of the lessons were awful. Yay! It´s kind of cool how I can communicate in a foreign country. I still geek out sometimes when I´m talking and I realize that I understand the gibberish that some spanish lady is telling me. Also in the division, I got to watch Macias go head to head with some lady. Macias didn´t understand everything she said, so from what he understood he thought she was trying to attack him, so he attacked back and it was just great to watch. I just waited patiently for someone to stop talking but it never happened. I think that was a crowning moment in his mission so far. He felt pretty pumped afterward.
On thursday I had mundungo...which was awful. I started dry heaving and it was pretty rough. Mundungo is cow stomach lining, so one side is smooth and the other side is kind of fuzzy and looks like honeycomb kind of. It was awful! Hopefully more of that doesn´t come my way.

In other cool news, we had a baptism of precious Antonio this past week and this week we will baptize two more people. It´s going well here! Antonio was really cold after, but he lived and now we´re going to have a family home evening at their house. Other than that, just business as usual in good ole Paraguay! I love you all and I hope you´re all happy and not sickly.
Love,
Elder Morris
