Wow this week was full of just a ton@! I hope I can write it all down.
First Monday after we emailed we went and did our district activity. We hiked Cerro Hu.
It was a lot of more this time with our whole district. And this time we didn't get lost. We got to the top and it was so pretty! You could see all of Paraguari almost. Well one side of Paraguari. It was so pretty and it was a lot of fun.
We also had a lesson with Mercedes and Carlos. We talked about faith, repentance, baptism, El Espiritu Santo, and persevering to the end. It was such a spiritual lesson. This family is so great and so special but they are fighting very hard just like all of us. They are so great. They just want to do what's right and continue to follow Cristo. Tuesday we walked a ton and it was also very hot jaja.
On Wednesday we had conferencia de zona and I got to see Hermana Robinson and we took our generation pic. It was a lot of fun to see her again. We also learned a lot about how to more effectively use our time as missionaries because it isn't our time it is the time of the Lord and it is short and sacred.
But when the conference ended we took a colectivo to San Lorenzo con Hermana Robinson. When we got there our whole zona was still waiting at San Lorenzo even though they left forever before us. We said goodbye to Hermana Robinson y Condor. We got cambios today too and Hermana Robinson is leaving but nothing is happening to us. So I said goodbye maybe for the last time.
So then we waited in San Lorenzo for another few hours waiting for colectivo. Not one colectivo passed to go back to Paraguari. We waited for hours and hours. We finally found a colectivo that goes to Ita which is closer to Paraguari so we took that. So we went to Ita and got there at like 1900. Then we waited there for a colectivo. We waited and waited and there was not one that passed. So we continued to wait. It got to about 2030 and we were still waiting. Our leaders finally told us to take a taxi but that was going to be really expensive. Luckily we found two really nice taxi drivers that helped us out and didn't charge us too much.
We finally got home close to 2200 horas. We were needless to say very tired. But we slept super good. Thursday we had a super great leccion with one of our investigators named Andrea. She is super great and wants to get baptized. We taught her about the Plan of Salvacion because her mom passed away about 5 years ago. She is so prepared for our lecciones. She reads everything and she takes it very seriously. It is so great to see someone who is fully putting there trust in God. Friday and Saturday we had full days of lots of work. It was so great. We walked a lot and found good people. We shared with Marly, the girl who just got baptized recently, and she is so amazing. She bore her testimony on why she wanted to get baptized and it was so great. She just said it made sense and then she told us about the blessings she has had in her life since her baptism which was a week ago. Sunday oh man, Sunday was crazy. So Sunday they had the elections for the new president here in Paraguay so there was literally no one at church o in our area. Everyone was out voting. It was super crazy because we weren't allowed to proselyte so if we didn't have a leccion fijada, like si o si then we had to be in our house. It was weird. Everyone was running around trying to vote and trying to persuade us to vote for their person. It was a big deal. Then in the night, I think a guy named Marito won, because everyone was driving around in this huge parade with flags and fireworks and honking and it was super crazy.
But yeah that was this week. It was super crazy and full of just kinda weird stuff but it was another great week.
Oh and probably the craziest part is that it turns out I had dengue jaja and didn't even know but I might have bronchitis again like in the CCM so we are gonna pray that goes away jaja because I am not wearing a mask again. But it was a good week. I know the church is true and I know that God is there to help us with everything we need if we have the humility to ask and trust in His perfect plan.
Love you all
