IM A MOM!!!
Yeah so we found out cambios and I am training. Don't know who my hija is yet but I am so excited to be able to train. Paraguari better look out because this is the first Hermana to be trained in Paraguari for more than 30 years.
But in other news...
Wow okay so this week was great. We had a baptism!!! Nelson was baptized.
We were a little worried because we couldn't visit him the week before his mission because he works all day and studies all night so we didn't have time to pass for him. But he es tan capo y when we talked to him on the phone he was super excited. I asked him how he felt to be getting baptized and he told me he was demasiado animado. Which is he is the most excited. Wow English is hard. But it was super amazing. When he left the water his smile was so big and he looked so happy. When I asked him how he felt afterwards he told me he felt relieved and free. He is so great. And Sunday he received the Spirit and it was so amazing. He is just so happy.
Nelson is super timid too and he doesn't really smile or talk a lot and so you can see the difference in him. He shines so bright. It is so amazing.
This week was kinda no se, it flew by. We had lessons that were super great. We also had lessons that I wish the people would just be able to rely on God. Por ejemplo. We had a lesson with an investigator se llama Virginia. She had so much potential to progress and then just kinda dropped off the earth. She wouldn't answer our calls and was never home. But we passed by and she had her friend over and her friend is a member but doesn't like how she has to keep the commandments so stopped going to church. So we tried to share with them and they were asking us all these really random questions. We got on the topic of why kids have to suffer in this world. We shared a scripture that talks about how everyone has their agency and how some people have to suffer the affects of other peoples agency. Virginia went on this huge rant about how others need to take care of their kids and how they shouldn't have to suffer. We testified about how God has a plan that is perfect and how even though some people have to go through pain because of the choices of other people God is there to help us. We testified that Christ himself suffered for other peoples choices. But then she went on this rant how doomed this world is and how Christ choose to suffer and kids dont choose to suffer. It was so hard because everything she kept saying just proved more and more that every person in this world has the ability to choose for themselves and that we need to choose to follow Christ. But she really didn't want to listen to us just tell us her opinion. We tried to testify and could hardly get out a word but we left her a part of the Book of Mormon to read and hopefully that will help answer her doubts. But all in all I know that God really does have a plan for each and every one of us. But we all do have our agency. So does everyone else. Sometimes we have to go through hard times because of the actions of other people and we ask why is this happening? Why didn't God stop this if He knew it was going to happen? But the thing is God is never going to take away our Agency but He will always be there to help us through the consequences of the natural man.
We passed for our investigator Isabel and she had some of her friends over. We started talking and on of her friends is from Fernando De La Mora, my old area. We talked about different places in Fernando and it was so much fun. Also she lived in the states for a few years and knows some English. She was talking to me in English and let me tell you, my English is awful

jaja. I had to translate it into Spanish so I could speak to her. I got 7 months on the mish, someone's is going to have to translate for me for my homecoming jaja. No just kidding Im not coming home this is my life now jaja forever.
We taught Gladys again. She is so great. She is a true testimony to me that when people follow the commandments, they are blessed. She was telling us how she was getting sick but she prayed and started to follow the Word of Wisdom and she feels better and knows its because she is keeping the commandments. Literally she is so amazing. The only problem with her is that she works all the morning and then studies all the night until about 9 and we have to be in our house at 9. It is really hard to find a time that works for both of us, but she is progressing muchisimo.
Today for our last pday together Hermana Carhuancho and I went to this place called the Frutaria. It is super nice and chuchi. We got matching bracelets. Yeah we cute jaja.
I learned so much this cambio. I learned about patience and humility. I learned about how really we cant do anything in this life without Christ. He is there to help us but we need to do our part as well. He cant make us do anything. He cant make us change. I am so grateful for the privilege to serve a mission and to spread the word of God and the light of Christ with my brothers and sisters here in Paraguay. Everyday I am so humbled by the things I learn. I am so grateful for all of you for your prayers and support. Till next week fam.
