Week 63

Haupei Yall! 

Happy Things! 

1. We have two incredible progressing investigators, Mariza and Cristian (not related), but they are two youth that have been attending seminary and all the activities and church and are making so many friends. They are both getting baptized in a few weeks and we are just so so happy to see miracles still happening here in Aratiri! 

2. We went to the temple with our recent converts this week on a big trip with the whole stake! It was one of the greatest things I have ever participated in on the mission. It was such a blessing to see all the recent converts taking the next very important step to go to the temple and do family history work. 

3. We had a Multistake Conference over broadcast with Elder Ronald A Rasband and other general authorities. Coolest part= one Elder Gavarrett started talking in GUARANI! Probably one of the coolest moments and really brought it all home for the Paraguayans listening. 

"We might need to study more intently, pray more earnestly, or just let some things go so we can hang on to those things that really matter. We may need to let go of the world so we can on to eternity." -Gary B Sabin

1. YALL, our awesome investigator Fernando, who still doesnt have permission to get baptized...keep praying for him, is in MORMON in the Book of Mormon! He has read so much and is still reading everyday! He is a rockstar. I almost cried I was so happy! 

2. We had a fun zone activity where we went to one area and all went out and contacted. I got to do a division with my bestie Hermana Fisher and it POURED DOWN on us. We were the only pair that got caught outside in the rain...the rest were in lessons inside...hahah our luck 

3. We got some awesome food poisoning this week...hahaha our lunch with kidney, liver, and intestines of a chicken. The sweet member served it to us and said "I am so sorry hermanas, but I cannot tell yall what it is..." thanksssss

"When we put God first all other things fall into their proper place or drop out of our lives. Our love of the Lord will govern the claims of our affection, the demands on our time, the interests we pursue, and the order of our priorities." -Ezra Taft Benson
