Well hello everyone,
We had a problem with the buses yesterday in Asunción so we got back home late and all sorts of good stuff like that, but here I am still! For crazy news, changes happened and once again I have a new companion! That makes 3 companions within 7 weeks.
My new comp is....Elder Argyle from Highland! I actually knew him before the mission in Jr. High and he was in my dorm in college which is pretty cool. So we already know each other and it´s all just lovely. It´s kind of weird how we were sitting in 9th grade seminary together and we never thought we´d be in Emboscada, Paraguay trying to make the church function better. Weird. What a small world.
We worked really hard last week which is always satisfying, and since I only have 3 weeks here and he now has 4 days, it´s interesting for both of us to try and learn the area. We´ve found lots of hidden less active members all over the place and so now we´re working with all of them to come back to church! The sad news is that it rained really hard on Sunday, which in Paraguay means no one comes to church. To start the first meeting we had one guy there and us two missionaries. The second hour there was 4 of us, and then for the final 10 minutes of sacrament meeting there were 18 people in total. Rain on Sunday is always depressing, cause we can´t actually gauge if our work for the week would have brought people to church. But, igual we´re going to keep on keeping on. It´s kind of exciting to pretty much start over in an area, cause everything is new to both of us. Practically every single house has not been contacted as far as we know. We have plenty of work here fo sho. As far as the weather goes, it´s gone back to being hot and whatnot. It´s actually pretty nice during the days and nights I guess too. Apparently the winters here have a couple weeks of freezing death and then heat and then a couple more weeks of freezing death and things like that. So in a little bit the freezing death should come back. It´s kind of crazy.
Like I said, yesterday we went to the office in Asunción to do some stuff and then ended up waiting for 2 hours for a dirty bus to take us back to Emboscada. The expo (it´s like a state fair or something) just started so all of the buses are packed so lots of them don´t actually stop. It was not good. We did eat some McDonald´s in Asunción though! Yeeeeah! They don´t actually mix your mcflurries here. Not made with the tender care and love like in the States. But, yeah. That´s what I´ve got for you guys for this week. I´m not dead, and I´m working with good ole Argyle from Jr. High. I love you all back home! Keep fighting the good fight!
Love,
Elder Morris
