Well another week gone, and been out here for 4 months. It’s really hot. Like 100 degrees right now. I don’t know how I’m gonna survive when the summer gets here in like a month. The Spanish is so so. We still don’t really have that many people to teach so that makes it hard. This week we took the member list of all the members in our rama/ward. It’s not big enough to be a ward. But we only have like 20 people show up for church every week, so we started to look for a bunch of these people. One day, I think it was Thursday, the hottest day last week; we went to look for members. We had about 10 had 2 street names and a house number, well all of those houses don’t exist anymore, they have all been destroyed. So that helps that they are no longer in our rama so it’s getting closer to being a ward. Now we just need people that we teach to have so faith and do something.
We have about 10 people that we are teaching. And that’s not very good; you can’t go to them every other day, so we just look for other members and part member families. This week we taught 5 lessons with a member, 10 other lessons, 3 baptism invitations, and 3 investigators came to church.
I don’t know if I had any best experiences, we had some funny good ones. Yesterday we saw this guy from across the street, and he made a B-LINE right to us. He said what’s up. What did Joseph Smith say? We said oh he already died a long time ago. The other guy said oh he isn’t resurrected, and we said no not yet. Then he said oh so he didn’t say anything about me? Nope he sure didn’t, and he was like oh well I was already resurrected; I’m angel Gabriel, son of the son of God. We said wow good for you and just joked with him for a minute.

Also, when people say George Bush to you they think it’s all funny, and you just say oh perdon, el no esta ahora. y somos de canada. Then they just feel dumb and walk away!
Elder Moore and I are just in one ward, or rama.
This week the favorite most best thing I ate was a lomito. And bollos. A lomito is like a burrito but way better, I’ll take some pictures of it and send it some time, and bollos are like doughnuts that you eat with dulce de leche, we bought a nice big tub of that today to eat with our cookies. American cookies, no thanks, the ones here are so much better. And they have these things here called bon bons, mom you will die when I bring some home for you. Just think of like the best chocolate peanutbuttery crunchy goodness. That’s a bon bon. For breakfast and lunch today we went to Makos and got ice cream.
The couple that needs to get married is doing good. They came to church this week and last week on their own. Pedro had his work times changed and so we haven’t been able to teach them because they weren’t home. That’s happened for the last 2 weeks, but they still came to church. We are probably going to go there tomorrow night. They have a baptism scheduled for the 27th of this month and hope it happens this time. You might remember the Hermana I’ve told you about, Lily, she is the girlfriend of a guy in our rama, he always pushes her to do the right thing and come to church and stuff. Her boyfriend Hermano Nappa, yeah he´s a punk. We found him in the road one night a little bit drunk, so we were thinking he was a little sketchy. But he has a business here called nappa express and they do delivery for a bunch of places. Well he went to Asuncion for something that we didn’t know, and he didn’t come back. And nobody knew where he was. So, Lily called us and she was freaking out. The reason that he left was because his business is going under. They opened the business in Lily´s name because he has a ton of debt. So we went over there to talk to here, and nobody knows where he is or why he left, except Lily. He sent her a text one morning that said hey just letting you know I’m fine physically but I’m not coming back. Good luck. What a jerk. Now she is trying to figure out what to do, and she had a doubt that she wouldn’t tell us. It was him, she said she couldn’t accept it because he wasn’t living it, he was smoking and drinking, they were living together. But now is the best time for her to accept the gospel, so pray for her and pray for pedro y sonia...they need it the most!
Sorry there are no pics this week. Today is ´´kids day´´ so the normal place we go to do email is closed and the pics wont upload here because these computers don’t have the right program. I have some other cool pics to send you though.
Love you mom Te Quiero Mucho
