Wow another week gone! where does the time even go? Well this last p-day as you know I was in migraciones. So it was kinda crazy because I had to do paperwork to stay in Paraguay but it turns out I'm illegal because something happened so it was
a whole thing. Well I got a call from Presidente telling me to take a taxi to his house after I was finished. So I did and alone I went to his house and I found that Hermana Fife was there. So we were there and Hermana Hansen made us french toast and we had
lunch with Presidente and Hermana Hansen.
By the time we got home and did ciber and compras we had to leave to go to work. So we didn't get to rest or anything and let me tell you, my body felt it this week jaja. But we had a good day.
On Tuesday I celebrated
17 months in the mission so that's super crazy. Hermana Fife is so great and put balloons in our house and I swear she woke up at like 4 to decorate but it was super cute! We also had a fantastic day. Literally all of the people we planned to visit were there
and we had super spiritual lessons. We taught Jorge and we had an amazing lesson about what a covenant is and the impact it has on our life. It was such a good lesson!!
On Wednesday we had zone conference. And it was sad because it is my last one and everyone
reminds me of it. So I got to take pictures with all of my Hermana's and it was fun to see everyone.
When we got home, we had a little time to work and it turns out our recent convert Margarita that just got baptized in December, is back from Germany and so
we went to visit her. Well on our way home, it was late and so we were walking super fast. I saw a guy from super far away and I thought it looked like a member from Oviedo that we always ate with every Saturday. I got closer and realized it was the same member
Hermano Recalde!
I got to talk to him a little bit and it was super awesome. He was in Fernando to visit his sister. So we set up an appointment to visit his sister the next day. It was so good to see him. The next day we did pass for his sister and we chatted
a bit and got to know them. She isn't a member and she never really liked the church but she was willing to let us in. So we shared a scripture. We also had a good lesson with Deolinda. She is so sweet and knows its true. She is just stuck with the traditions
of her family and she doesn't know how to get out. But she is super awesome and the bad thing is she always gives us ice cream so I've definitely eaten more ice cream then I probably should be. But hey ice cream goes to the heart. That's what my grandma taught
me.
We also have a lady we are teaching named Lilian. She is very Evangelist and believes a lot in the bible which is really good. But she also believes that if it is not said word for word in the bible than it is not from God. So we have been teaching her
and it is super cool because she has a string desire to do what is right. She just wants to follow God no mas. So we have been sharing with her and trying to show her that the Book of Mormon and the Bible work together. It was a cool lesson. She is still iffy
but she is willing to read so that's good. On Friday I had intercambios with La Floresta and I got to go with Hermana Jensen. It was really hard flashback moments because my very first intercambio that I did in my whole mission was in Tres Bocas which is now
La floresta as well. So when we were walking to citas and going to the church it reminded me of my first intercambio and of how much things have actually changed in my self! It was awesome. Also Hermana Jensen is great, I've missed her so much and it was fun
to be with her again. So I went there and we were able to talk to everyone and find lots of people. She had a hard cambio last cambio and her companion now is great just that she is super sick and is always in the house so Hermana Jensen is kinda frustrated
so it was nice we could get her out of the house.
On Saturday when I got home to Fernando again it was nice to be with Hermana Fife, and we had an awesome day planned, but everyone was gone! No body wanted to listen to us and no one wanted to let us in. But
it was nice because we were able to visit a lot of members who haven't been coming to church in a while and we also were able to go to a baptism of little Jazmin Bock. She is the daughter of my first convert Juan and it was so cute to see be baptized. I love
this family and it was so cute. She was so cute and we were able to enjoy that. Sunday was fun too. Hermana Fife gave a talk in church and we thought no one was gonna come but Jorge showed up!!! It was so cool and he loved it again. We then were able to visit
with him after and he loves it. He said he can feel a big difference in his life. And he wants to be baptized but he said he isn't ready.
One needs to be totally repented and have it in their heart and he said he isn't there yet. So that's okay. In his time he
will be able to make the covenant with God. He is so great though. He honestly is a stubborn personality guy and we have really bonded with him. I think we are true homies jaja. Its super fun because we have super spiritual lessons with him. Its amazing how
the spirit works if we let him in. We had other super spiritual lessons too. I love Sundays.

This week I want to thank all of you for your love and support. I know that life gets busy and things get tough but I promise that if you can continue to read the scriptures every day and pray then God will bless you with the strength to continue in everything.
Not just church attendance, not just keeping the commandments, but things temporal as well. He will bless you in work and in school. He will guide you in every aspect of your life if you let him. I promise you and testify this to be true. I love you all and
hope everyone is doing great!!! Enjoy your week!!!
I don't know why all of them are sending as a shared drive so sorry if you cant see them. The girl with the ice cream is Deolinda and the guy in the wheelchair is Jorge!
To Heaven and Back!
Hermana Davis
