Thank you for the letters! Wow EFR. I bet it’s getting really small. By now not many people can go. Where are there doing it? How was the merit badge camp for you Caleb? Is the food still nasty!? I know i have absolutely no room to talk but on your letter dad you miss spelled warm with ward in your shower and i laughed. It took me awhile to figure that one out ha. But, is the farwell of Jordan this next week? How is he doing?
This week was a week of patients although we did have a little success but not much. It started to rain really hard Saturday and not many people received us and we got really wet and muddy. I fell one time but was able to catch myself before hitting the ground. This last week there was a Paraguay futball game that happened and they won and that night i almost died 3 times. When Paraguay scores a goal here the streets go crazy. When there is a game nobody lets us in so we end up walking the street waiting for the game to end. Every time they score we have to place ourselves under something metal but because the amount of fire works and bullets shot into the air is extremely dangerous and we get scared.. I have heard bullets fall next to us and then when the game ends all the cars come out and people run through the streets screaming. It is so funny to watch! They are crazy about their futbol. But this last Tuesday we had a very amazing experience. We are teaching the brother of wilfrido a member now, and he has never read the bible in his life or gone to church, which is really rare. We were teaching him and we decided to watch the movie the restoration. They have 3 children that never are quite and when we watched the movie the whole atmosphere changed and the kids stopped talking and the spirit was very strong! Then after the movie we asked them how they felt and they said very convincingly that Joseph Smith was a profeta of God. Then we were passing to leave we ask him to say the prayer and he began to cry in his prayer. The spirit was very strong and he told us that he had never had desires to know a church better other then this church. He breaks every single commandment that you can think of but he is changing little by little and we are working with his wife too. It is so very important to be worthy of the spirit at all times. I know there are always things i can do better here to be more worthy and sensible to the spirit and i want to focus on that this week. Because with out the spirit a missionary is lost! Actually everybody has to have this guide in their lives. We didn’t have any investigators in church yesterday but we are teaching some promising people right now. Thank you dad for the advice. Ya i was thinking that too. I think we put to much confidence in the visits and the knowledge that he was gaining but he always said he couldn’t recognize the spirit. We can’t find him right now so we will see what happens. He doesn’t answer anymore. This will be the last week before changes and these changes that are coming are going to be crazy!, 6 zone leader leave, alot of zone leader leave, 1 assistant leaves, and 29 north American which means 29 more trainers this change. We will see what happens. I have taken alot of time to read preach my gospel this last week to and that book is amazing. Did you and the boys finish reading that?
I love you all
