First i have to apologize for like half my email last week being in Spanish. hahaha i just wanted my grandparents to understand really well, but it wasn't great Spanish anyway so they may not have even gotten it! lol
familia avalos is doing well. josias and alexander are 11 years old and 8 years old and they are progressing the most!!! they are awesome.
we found a new this week of an inactive returned missionarys girlfriend, he saw us and was super excited and started saying all of the english missionary words he had learned on his mission. he then told us he wants to marry his girlfriend before his birthday and he wants to help her get baptized on the same day so that they can raise their family in the church. they are REALLY awesome!!
the prophet comes next monday!!! yay!!! everyone is excited and nervous. so cool that he is going to speak to the people of pàraguay. general conference is awesome, but honestly watching it here with paraguayan people made me realize just how white everyone is in utah. lol!! our investigators were very confused as to what they were watching. we explained the best we could, but it was still pretty funny and foreign to them. so the fact that the prophet is going to specifically talk to these people will be REALLY awesome!!
remember you are loved and wanted. i bore my testimony yesterday, and i talked about basically how tired i am, and how tired we all are. lol!! life can be exhausting and sometimes we feel we are asked to sacrifice a lot. but when we think in the atonement and our savior, who made the ultimate sacrifice, our burdens can be made much lighter. going to bed early helps too!! hahahaha
i love you all. thank you for your prayers and love. there is life and work in this area now and i am so happy. Love you all!!!
