My new comp is pretty cool he is more strict than the other for sure but im trying to break him in.
He told me im the funnest missionary he has been with so hopefully we have a good time and keep it up! He really really really likes to study it freakin sucks but its alright the way i learn the best is now i have to talk a lot more because no one knows him so i talk to everyone now and my spanish doesnt suck so i guess thats kinda cool this week i started being way good buddies with all he kids because i just need to have fun cause my comp is kinda serious so i play with all the kids and my comp was telling me i need to be more serious and we would be better and then the little kid i was hanging with comes upto me and says hey what do i have to do to be baptised and i said do you want that and he said yes!I want to hang with Osborne and now on my comp has been a lot cooler to me about it hahaha pretty funny!

I have a meeting tommorrow in Asuncion so I'm hoping that the other package came.I hope so!

Yesterday i had to go talk to his dad my comp wasnt with me just me with my crap spanish and i understood completely which was sweet his dad just wants him to wait until the kid knows for sure so i told the kid hey you should pray

We might be paying for 2 weddings in thge next 2 weeks its the only way we can get baptisms. we are working on getting a new bishop people wont come to church because he is there!
When we had our old bishop there was an average of 150 people in church and since he has been we are at 60 and dropping so i hope we can figure it out would be cool!

Today is changes and i might be getting a new companion i will get packages for sure so thats the thing im the most excited for is being able to get everything that is in the office!


So, I dont know whats wrong with my chest! sometimes i feel awesome and then at night i cant breath or it just hurts like wild at night! kinda bummer it will figure itself out soon i know it :)
Its not heart burn is a pain not a muscle pain its like a bone or a something its a breathing pain ...

I will check to see if there are some vitimans at our store ..but it's not cheap stuff


Thats sweet i miss the naivity i miss cold weather it was 70 in our house and i had a hoodie and a blanket and i havent even been here that long and I'm already freezing in 70* weather!!!



My companion, he really is cool but i could go for a change because i feel like we would work more with a new one but i just dont want a way strict one .he is cool i just want to be busy always i hate sitting around!

The whole zone is leaving except one of the kids ahh kinda scary but i guess it will be alright ..i know ha i miss ol Rigby
The best things ive learned is people dont care what a 19 year old has to say because that 19 year old doesnt speak the language good but its the spirit and the personailty thats 19 year old brings into the room.
Its been pretty rainy its nuts here yesterday rained like 4 inches ha idk how but it happened
I heard Thayen is in pittsburg he asked Jovan for my email and never wrote me kinda a bummer ...
I miss paisley so much ha when i get stressed shes who i think of ha idk why but i just think of lil pais or lil preslie. I miss those girls so much! You dont even know..

Hey Dad I love you~

This last week was the worst I've been my knee was shot and I woke up and couldn't breathe idk whats goin down with me right now with all my sickness I was having the hardest time in the world breathing and when I took deep breaths it felt like a knife was stabbing me this was Wednesday, Thur and Fri sucked so bad idk what's wrong with me hahha. Yeah thats my knee all wrapped up and iced.
This is the hardest thing I've ever done! I'm always sick! I'm always hurt! I don't speak the language well...but I know I need to do it!

So, about the lady were teaching.. we're going to have to get some papers for her she lost the papers that say shes legal ha so she cant be married yet!
But we have new investagators. A kid named Juan he's 12. He follows us around everywhere. He is the kid that lives with juniors best friend! He came over one day and Junior left and Juan wouldn't leave! so we took him with us to 3 lessons! so I told my comp we will just keep him walkin with us and take him to his own baptism because he never leaves our side! except he hasn't come around for 2 days now ha ha
and we have Marco and his wife and he smokes but he came to church this week!
In my ward there is a guy that I look up like crazy!
He has 2 daughters and 1 son! His name is Gabilon I will send a picture!
5 years ago he said he had the life! He had a wife that was sweet in the church he just got baptised and just quit smoking!
He moved to Argentina for 5 months to get money for his family and the day he came home his wife was gone and the kids were living with the neighbor! His wife abandonded him! with 3 kids
He is the elders president and he calls me and my comp everyother day to go on visits with us because he doesn't have anything else to do! He is the most faithful person I've ever met! He doesn't miss church for anything! poorest family I've ever met between him and the Chavez family they have nothing! They have been members for 5 months and the dad makes 100 mil a week about 25 dollars!

Have a great week..
I love you like crazy!

Family~
This week was a wild one!
I’ve been sick again I don’t know if I still have the Dengay a little but I’ve been amazingly tired my comp was saying maybe you have mono and I just laughed and acted like I didn’t know what that is because it’s for sure probably what I got! haha sucks but it’s alright!
This week we have been teaching this lady she’s already to be baptized just needs to get married her husband is in prison and here in Paraguay its free to get married in prison so she’s going to do that next week SHE SAYS anyways! so that will be cool!
This morning was a little weird we have a gate at our house and we got locked in someone put a lock on it so we had to jump the neighbors fence and we don’t live in a friendly neighborhood
Oh a crazy thing happened last night ha so this kid Javiar was crying because something fell on his finger! and his dad didn’t know why he was crying so told him to stop crying and he didn’t so he punched him! a little 3 year old! and he stopped crying! I looked at his finger and he cut off the whole tip of his finger! Weirdest thing ever! It’s my favorite family the Chavez family we visit them every Sunday there the poorest family but there the best they have been members for about 5 months. We usually eat tortillas or we eat rolls nothing huge they make us watermelon juice allot because watermellon’s are the cheapest thing you can buy here! its 3 mill! and 4 mill is about a dollar.
They are the family I always send pictures with the little kids there is Ceasar he is like 10,Stacy she loves me she always comes and gives me huge hugs and reminds me of paisley because she is super lovey dovey and always wants me to hold her shes 6 and then Javiar jr he had there house fall on him a couple months ago! and then last night his finger chopped off he is the man! he is like 3!
Mattea.. Thanks for writing me, I know it’s hard to know what to write sometimes but I love reading your emails. I showed some boys in our wad your picture. They think you are really cute! So if you get kids that want to be your friend on Facebook.. don’t worry too much (They can’t even speak English! LOL)
This week was a good one its hot its hard! I miss everyone like crazy but I know I can do this

Hey what’s up family ?
I love you , I miss you!
I went into Asuncion this week. It was the crazy longest drive ever!...its about an 8 hour bus ride there and the way there we were on a crappy bus so we stopped a freakin ton!
> This week we didn’t get to work much because Monday and Tuesday we have meetings and Friday and Saturday we were gone.
> But this Sunday they called me in the morning to give a talk!
>It’s shortest talk I’ve ever given I talked for about 5 minutes my Spanish isn’t very good and they didn’t give me any time to prepare.
Elder Bednar was way cool. I got very last row. Our bus showed up at our hotel 15 minutes before he started so we barley made it there were 400 other missionaries there also.

We got in Asuncion and we got to sleep in a hotel with a shower and it was so nice the shower actually worked first time I’ve felt clean since the mtc! It was amazing ha
> We got to eat some good food and go to a grocery store that had American food it was pretty cool.
> When we were in Asuncion we had to take the buses everywhere and ask Weston or Sam about the buses there nuts ! I was standing up and they took off as I was paying and I flew ..my wallet flew out of my hands and I almost took out like 5 people! all the missionaries were laughing ha but was my first time haha
> was funny tho!
Here are a couple pictures of my week

> I need some pictures of the family and of everything and candy! sunflower seeds and the sour patch made my day I love them so much! And red peppers,,,yes!!!
And garment bottoms- I have been doing my own laundry because our clothes come back dirtier and stink so i do laundry in the sink now.
