Why hello!
All is well in Paraguay. Right now the weather is frightful and stormy. I´m actually really soaked because we had to walk to the cyber, but I made the sacrifce to write you all! Good ole South American downpours. At least it´s not super hot anymore. That´s always nice.
As far as exciting news goes, nothing too cool happened this week. We found out that Ricardo (recent convert) is going away for a month to work on building roads in some other city somewhere which is not good. He was doing lots of visits with us and helping us a ton, and now he´s going to leave! Dang it. I´ll still be here when he gets back, but it´s never good when our help decides to move. Also, the miracle contact that we had the other week has now announced to us that she has no desires whatsoever to find out if the Book of Mormon is true. Dang it. I personally think she is just scared to find out that she´s been in the wrong church her whole life, but we tried our hardest and bore some crazy testimony and now she has the tools to find out the truth. I just hope one day she decides to act.
Today for P day we went to Caacupe to play some soccer and basketball (I made a basket!) for Elder Claypool´s final Pday in Paraguay. It was pretty awesome and we had some food after which was nice. It was really sunny then. But then the rains came and all that stuff and it´s all wet. The power also just went out but gmail rocks and saves things! Yeeeeah!
Elder Milne is doing just swell. He´s learning all sorts of good spanish, and I´m learning how to speak in English again. So everyone is happy. He found a couple of spiders in his bed this past week which did not lead to a good night´s sleep. Poor Milne. I´ve never found animals in my bed. Yay! I´ve had some pretty crazy dreams lately too. Last night I rode some sort of cross between a great dane and a motocycle. It was cool.
Other than that, nothing new to report. Tomorrow I complete 14 months in the mission which is pretty nuts. Elder Milne is getting close to 1 month in Paraguay! They grow up so fast...sniff. I love you all, and I hope you have a sweet week!
Love,
Elder Morris
