Oh why hello everyone back home!
My first Pascua in Paraguay has come and past. The holy week is pretty weird down here in a country that is mostly catholic. They have all sorts of fun traditions that we got to see. We also ate a lot of chipa. Sperry and I even made some ourselves in the house of a member so that was pretty fun! Here they don´t have any egg/bunny/chocolate traditions normally, but it just so happens that one of the ward members does a little egg search and whatnot because they learned it from someone in the states. She hid little bags of candy for us, so my Easter here was pretty sweet! (no pun intended) I also learned that you´re allowed to hit people on Easter as long as you say Pascua right before you did it. It´s usually what the godmothers do to their godchildren. If they've been bad for the past year, they hit em to make them be good. If they´ve been good for the past year, they hit em so they stay that way. Yay!
The week was pretty rough on the missionary side of things. This was one of the two times a year that everyone in Paraguay actually goes to church (the other being Christmas) so inviting people to ours was kind of rough. It also rained a lot on Saturday, but I bought myself a nifty umbrella like a champ so I stayed kind of dry. Sperry just went out in a sweater. Not so dry.
Norberto (our recent convert) got the Aaronic Priesthood on Sunday which was cool.
I´m trying to think of more things to say, but nothing more is coming. Apparently it was a pretty uneventful week. But sometimes it´s better that way I suppose. Anywho, I believe that is all family and friends. I shall report more in a week´s time! I love you all!
Love,
Elder Morris
