Hola todas,
So basically my comp and her twin always celebrated christmas in july every year so we decorated for christmas at lunch with fam lopez hahaha!!! it was SUPER fun and it made her super happy. and it worked because it is still cold here, so it honestly feels like christmas!!!!
I had my first division this week as well. SUPER weird. We taught the restoration with.. SIX MISSIONARIES! i kid you not. i was so confused. the zone leaders came because technically this girl lives in their area, so we were passing her off to them, and then randomly the other elders in the ward were there for their noche de barrio but no one came to noche de barrio so they just sat with us. We all just sat there really uncomfortable for a solid while wondering how to teach this with six people and no one would take initiative lol and the poor teenage girl just looked overwhelmed. I just like quietly cleared my throat and was like, "usually there arent six of us." and then everyone laughed and we started teaching haha. it turned out alright, but it was pretty crazy.
i had my first zone conference as well!!! and the change is over at the end of this week. halfway through my training! SO CRAZY! but so fun. I love paraguay more and more every day.
my testimony has grown lately over small and simple things. We shared some of the small and simple things talk by dallin h oaks in our lunch appointments, and i realized yes, doing those small and simple things will improve our lives immensely, but also noticing the small and simple things God does FOR us. So awesome!!
Unfortunately Cristian didnt get baptized this week. We had some problems with his parents, and we dont want to cause any problems for him and his family, so we will likely have to leave him. Its sad, but Heavenly Father will take care of him and the day will come where he will receive the fullness of this gospel. I am super grateful for his ongoing smile and his example to his brother. There are some AMAZING people here!!
thank you all SO MUCH!!! i am so spoiled with the best friends and family. have the best week!!!
