Oh hey everyone!
Well I'm still in Ysapy. The crazy thing is that it is no
longer Ysapy A. They merged the two Capiatá zones and in the process had to
merge some of the areas. So now there are only 2 missionaries in Ysapy working
both sides! My new companion is Elder Ardaya from Bolivia so most likely I'm
going to end my mission with a Latin. I may not be able to speak English very
well when I get home. Elder Ardaya comes from Santa Cruz in Bolivia and has 6
months in the mission. He just came from his first area in Posta Leiva which is
where I was before so that's pretty cool. He tells me he's going to teach me
real Spanish before I go home because Paraguayan spanish is awful. So maybe
with his help all of the return missionaries from other countries won't make
fun of me when I'm home. Woo!
It's been a pretty interesting week for us here. Because of
the merging of the areas, we ended up moving to the other Elders´ house because
it's better. We had to clean the other house so the dueña didn't freak out and
it took us over 10 hours to get it all clean. It's had a lot of years of dirty
missionaries living in it so it took a long time. And, it just so happens the
day we went back to clean the old house, somebody stole the water meter so we
didn't have water. The owner blamed us, but it totally wasn't our fault. She's
just crazy! It's all sorted now I think so no worries there. It's been pretty
hard trying to work both areas because I don't really know anything from the
other side but we're getting there.
The cool story of the week is that we started working with
one of the investigators of the other missionaries that hasn´t been able to get
permission to get baptized for a long time. We went and taught her for the
first time on Saturday, decided to do a special fast with her and her sisters,
and on Sunday she got permission! Woo! So she'll be getting baptized next
saturday. That's pretty cool. Fasting works!
Other than that, it's just business as normal. We just keep
working and learning more things every day! I'm probably going to end my
mission here in Ysapy so it's kind of a weird feeling but we'll make it through
and keep on going. I love you all and I hope you have a great week!
Love,
Elder Morris
