Eusebio Ayala

Hello everyone!

The top news of the week is that Norma Rojas and Ricardo Rolon got baptized this week! Yay! I´m pretty stoked about that. Ricardo turns 18 in less than a month so now he´s preparing himself to get some Melchezedik (spelling) Priesthood! He also told us last night that going on a mission is something that he really wants to do. So that´s pretty sweet! Now he´ll be helping us to find some more people to help here in Eusebio. He´s got lots of friends he says that would be interested so we´ll see what happens. He´s so cool.


We also got to go to the temple this week, which was really good. We went through an endowment session and did lots of confirmations too. Maybe pictures will follow if the computer doesn´t hate me. Vamos a ver. Elder Milne is still alive and settling in to good ole Paraguay. The stories have sort of calmed down now, and nobody is trying to kill him or anything like that. Sometimes he gets mad at me because I can´t speak English very well :( Well, I can speak English, but lots of times I want to throw in Spanish words cause they come to my head faster than the English ones. Then he can´t understand the Spanish words and fun things like that haha. Other than that, it´s all going well! We´re already halfway through his first change here in Paraguay which is just nuts. And, because of the two conferences we had recently, this was actually his first real Sunday here. He gave his first talk like a boss, and blessed the sacrament. We´ve also started assigning members here to help us with talks, and Sister Emi Gomez did a good job. We´re going to slowly start having them do more, because eventually it´ll be them running the branch. Yeah!


For Pday today, we didn´t do anything crazy. We cleaned a little more in the house, and relaxed and such. It was a nice break, and I´m feeling better now. I kind of have a cold or something which is always really annoying. I actually got the cold because we got stranded in a different city at 9:30 at night on Thursday, and the only person that stopped to give us a ride was a big ole truck full of food and stuff. We got to ride in the back, but the cold wind gave me a cold I think. I actually forgot about that story. Good times. We´re still alive and happy :)


Other than that, it was a normal week. We worked and taught, and then we had some baptisms! Yay! I hope you are all doing well up there in the States. I love you all, and hope you have an amazing week!

Love,
Elder Morris
