July 22nd Trev got a new companion

Hey what’s up family ?...

That’s so awesome you went to Elder Gordon’s homecoming! Hearing about the bowling alley just brought tears to my eyes haha we planned doing that and being cops together so we could hangout forever I miss that kid he helped me a lot when I had rough times! He is a really good friend! We got along so good together. 

Yes..  I know all the Elders with red ties. Yeah that is Elder Staker. He’s such a cool kid! 

He went to Riverton High with Dallas.

That’s cool he might paint the Horse trailer…What color?

 

Yeah I do have a purifier but I’m feeling so much better now that I’ve been buying water :)

It’s so weird that now I’m one of the older missionaries!

I didn’t get transferred but I got a new companion! Yeah ..I’m with a local that has never taught before never been a local missionary and never done divisions with missionaries its AWESOMEEE! He’s so cool ha he doesn’t teach very much but he really loves to be teaching and working!!!!! He is a little fat kid he is like 5 ‘4 about 180 so a little rolly pully but he’s so funny his name is Juan Ortiz. He doesn’t have a name tag so everyone just wonders what’s going on ….but its alright! We’ve been tearing it up out here! We went  out and found about 15 new investigators this week and just worked a ton! It feels really good to have a comp that wants to work! So Juan lives with me but I feel bad because he doesn’t have much cloths or anything … His family didn’t really have time to prepare for this! He will get his mission call in a couple weeks so we will get on a bus and go to his area when the mission call comes….I’m pretty excited haha  This is like a Per Mission for him.

We had 25 missionaries go home last change and only had 6 come out so they didn’t want to shut down a bunch of areas so they asked some bishops to find people from there wards and my comps dad is a bishop our in the boonies here in Paraguay. So pretty much training but its hard cause he didn’t have the mtc experience or never done any splits with missionaries….Greenie for sure!

My old comp got transferred out far with one of my friends I was super bummed that my buddy had to deal with it now but maybe he can better than I did It was just a tough situation. 

I left my camera  at the house I forgot it so I will send lots of pictures next week.

Goshhh that’s horrible about Sharla! …I just started my fast! I love you family! gosh that scaryyy! 

It’s “P” day today I made corndogs and played soccer then I hung out with Elder Andrel he is from Jordan High and now we are going to go look for a hoodie because it’s so cold here and I lost my voice ha.

 

I love you lot’s

Stay Classy

A LATE letter this week... Wednesday July 10th

 

So our meeting with the new Mission President and his family was really cool . They came up to me and said how happy they were to have a Osborne here in Paraguay! The whole family seems really cool!

Sorry I didn’t write on Monday. We had a guy fixing our house and yesterday I couldn’t leave the house because I  was so sick. I’m not feeling so hot again… but just my luck!

We didn’t have our baptisms last week and I was pretty upset about it. We went to talk to the little girls family and her dad said he wouldn’t let it happen said he is going to make her decisions for his kids until they die! I was hoping that my companion would try to help me talk to the family because he is Latino and has a lot in common with them…But he doesn’t like to talk to people. He doesn’t like to work at all. I’m hoping for a new companion. I feel really stressed!! I’m really home sick right now! Arrgg   Will you all pray for me to get a new comp? I’ve had this special assignment for going on 3 months and I need a comp that wants to do the work.  I don’t know how much the New Mission President knows about the situation. Elder Armstrong does and he works in the office. It would be pretty awesome if I get changes this next week tho…

Elder Gordon leaves tomorrow for home! Today he is spending the day with the New Mission President and Family. He is going home a week early for Baseball. I’m going to miss that guy!

So Whit is having a boy… So Cool! Naming him Trey? .. kinda like Trevy…

Stay Classy!

Love you Family

Elder Osborne

 

 

 

 

July 1st

Hey Family!~

I didn’t take my camera out that much this week so sorry… I  need to be better at it!

But this is from teaching little Nicole she’s 9 and super funny, she’s scared of water so we will see what happens this week if we have a baptism or not..LOL

This week was a good one.  We have had way good lunch dates. The best and most food I’ve had in Paraguay.

In this area its cold here but the sun is finally showing its pretty nice. Thursday we have our meeting to meet our new Mission President  (kinda cool!)

 

I’m excited today , my buddy  Elder Wolfgram came over and I made chicken tacos and it was delicious!!! Yesterday we didn’t have a lunch appointment so we went over to our(I don’t’ know the word in English… like house owners?) and they made us lunch and I was teasing them saying how nice it would be to have a grill in our house so they gave us a grill! ha ha so next week we are cooking some asado with Elder Wolfgram and his comp pretty stoked about it!

In our ward 4 kids just got there mission calls they leave in October!

 

I’m so use to the heat now that I freeze to death when its anything lower than 75 now the summer is like 120 with humid so the  last 4 days has been only time we have seen the sun in almost 2 months!

I didn’t end up buying the med’s for the parasite yet because I just got money today I will probably end up getting it today. I need to keep drinking bottled water ha ha … its helped!

So changes are scheduled for July 17th (so in 2 weeks time ) time is starting to go fast …its weird haha I like that it is tho :)

Today I’m emailing Thyane, Navajo, Jovan, and Max I have been writing them a lot lately. It’s been great! I haven’t heard from Zach in a while but I can’t remember if I wrote him back.

Elder Gordon goes home in less than 2 weeks I’m super bummed! 

Sounds like your working on the barn this week that’s sweet!

The sun is finally started shinning here! Its nice. I was getting called Edward from twilight so I’m excited to get some color again and not be so white!

We have a baptism this week and one next week and another the week after hopefully 3 this month pretty cool this week this 9 year old girl Nicole she’s super funny and we go and play uno with them and teach them and they got reactivated. It’s been a different experience with this Companion. My companion he won’t leave the house unless we are going somewhere fun or going to play a game . He is 26 and been my special assignment for the last few changes. It’s been a challenge. I really love having fun always too so we get along its just stressful that he doesn’t like to do teaching appointments or anything! He Just want’s to sit around the house and it has been a struggle. I’m hoping more than anything we get changes but I don’t know if we will because the new Mission President doesn’t know the situation or how long people have been together….

Love you all! Talk with you next week..

Stay classy!
