Hello friends and family.
Last week was a good week because we had a baptism! Yay baptisms! We already have some investigators getting ready for a baptism on the 24th of September so I´m excited to keep working with them. I think the highlight of the week was on Sunday when a drunk man came to church. Pepito Caballero! We actually met him on Friday when he was walking past. He stopped, played a little on his guitar, and sang to us. Then he asked us for money and good things like that. He made it into my journal and I moved on. But theeeen he showed up to church. He behaved himself well during sacrament meeting, but during the class afterwards he started getting a little too excited. He ended up singing and denouncing booze and smoking forever. He said we could help him with that, but we can never take his guitar away haha. Good times. But, to his credit, he came to church and wants to change his life, so we´ll try our hardest to help him with that. Good ole Pepito.
Today we went to Caacupe and played some soccer with the other elders which was pretty fun. Other than that, it was a normal P day here in Barrero.
All the newspapers here were full of 9 11 stuff saying that America was going to get bombed again and things like that, but that´s to be expected because I suppose. And Paraguay is a very paranoid country. That was as far as that went. I´m assuming nothing happened up there.
Another cool thing is that last night when we were walking, we found a guy that has been living here for 4 months that is a member of the church. He comes from some city in the south mission so I don´t know any of the elders or anything, but he was the secretary there in his branch and wants to start coming to church here. That´s good cause right now we don´t have any priesthood holders older than 13. So that´s pretty exciting cause more people are coming to church. We also found out this week that one of our investigators has a sister that is an inactive member. This inactive member has just barely started coming back to church again and found out that we were teaching her sister and now they are all sorts of excited. Woo!
Other than that, it´s business as normal here in Paraguay. It´s hot in the day and cold at night, but we´re making it through. Woo. I saw a couple of instances this week that proves that God watches over His church. It´s pretty cool to be able to see that stuff, and to see the little miracles that happen. I hope you all have a great week and everything goes well. I love you all!
Love,
Elder Morris
