Wow sounds like a lot is happened back there in the house. But even more has happened here! This last week was hectic. First i would like to say that i bet Aunt Michelle is very happy about the changes in the stake. And i envy your heat. If i have to suffer another rainy night walking i know for a fact i will develop that lung disease from cold that i have no idea how to spell. Mother you don’t have to worry about my health in my new area. I eat at the members house every day now. (Love the memebers) Sounds like you are all doing great. Don’t forget to not forget me in your parties when the family gets together.... I don’t know if that worked. Hey what’s the address of the mtc? I want to write Jordan in Spanish. ha?! Maybe a little Gaurani. (I’m getting pretty good. My goal is by the end of this change to be able to teach the first lesson in gaurani)
So first off last week about Tuesday morning i got a call from presidente and he told me that a elder that trained this last trained is becoming a zone leader and his new missionary is only half way through his training so he called me and ask me to take over his training. So this change i am training a missionary that is from Melba Idaho like 40 minutes from our house. His name is elder Heiner! He has 6 weeks in the mission. He is really cool and has a funny white gangster lingo (it might be cool when he left or i might have become dumb) but i have learned a lot of English from him already. It is really fun to train. Your English gets better and it really tests my vocabulario of Spanish. I left cuidad del este and came about 3 hours towards Asunsion to a place called Caaguasu (i gaurentee you don’t pronounce that right it cowuasoo, gaurani) to rama 4. I cannot tell you how amazing the members are here. They are amazing and love to work with the missionaries. They like the leave with us to work and give us references. This last Sunday, without asking, a familia brought another familia to church and we met them there. We are teaching them right now. Also there is a man in the ward here that speaks Chinese, English, Spanish, Garuani, and Japanese perfectly. He always makes fun of the members in English and is hilarious. I love this place. Every body is really nice. We don’t have many people to teach right now cause the comp of my kid right now wasn’t fantastic so they didn’t do much and now I’m making him follow the rules ha! But we will start this next week looking for people to teach. There is one man that knows everything is true but has trouble going to church cause he is paralyzed from the neck down and i believe he will get baptized soon. His name is Evelio. My comps Spanish is.... well he is new. He knows a lot of words but can’t conge gate very well. We are trying to speak only Spanish in the streets (that’s’ hard for me cause i prayed to get a white person for my comp cause i get along with them better and so now i have one and i want to speak English) but i understand he needs it. I don’t have a good story with investigators this week but next time i will. We are going to find a lot of people to teach. I love you all and i can’t stress the importance of the gospel. Nephi 13 put the gospel fist and everything will go well. Dad is a perfect example of the familia with his calling. Read and pray always. I’m learning a lot of responsibility right now in my situation... I’m really exited to work with Elder Hiener. Try and find his familia.
I love you and thanks for the letters.
Elder Shaw
