The Great Apostasy

Highlight of the Week: Being told we`re going to have an investigator baptized next week :) 

Yep. We got a reference this week from the Elders along the lines of, "hey, This guys come to church 2 times now and is way excited to be baptized next week. . . he lives in your area, good luck!"

So we`ve been working with Andres Smith (the Paraguayans say "Esmít" :) and he is just super ready. So we`ll be pulling off a baptism this Saturday (yaaaaaay) and working a lot with the dear sisters in the ward so that we can finish up the lessons he still needs. 

AAAAand we had cambios this week. I sent poor Sister Ross to the grave (metaphorically speaking, of course) and I am now with Hermana Palombo de Utah. We get along well.

 This is going to be a good 6 weeks :) 

I`ve really been impressed during my studies this week by the fact that the more one knows about world history, the easier it is to clearly see and understand the great Apostasy. 

Maybe I`ll take a history class when I get home. . . :) 

Jackolanterns and Pumpkin Pie

Highlight of the Week: Carving a Jackolantern (no me importa si era tarde :) No! Algo mejor - Hna Puma found a Gospel Principles manual in Guarani. Love that girl :) 

I made pumpkin pie this week. And discovered that Hna. Ross is a bit sensitive to large quantities of pumpkin. Like throwing up kind of sensitive. Can people be allergic to pumpkin?

We ended up staying en casa for the day so she could recover. 

But we made up for it by working crazy hard the rest of week. 

It tormented on Friday, but we stayed in studying because we had a zone meeting Thursday. 

I`m getting near the end of Jesus the Christ. I really want to read the last few chapters, because I know they`re going to be fantastic, but I`m not so excited to not have more of it to read.

Maybe I`ll try it in spanish this time :) 

tini baby frog plague

Highlight of the Week: RAIN. I love the rain. 

The rain is nice, mostly because it`s not the sun. And even though it makes the whole world deathly humid (think sauna) it`s still better than the sun. And luckily it`s been really only raining

 in the mornings when we`re studying. 

And it`s tiny baby frog season. There`s a family of members that lives by the arollo (stream) that runs through our area, and when we went to visit them we discovered that their whole yard is just full of the tiniest little frogs. SO AWESOME. You have to be careful not to step on them,

 It`s like a mini plague of Egypt. :) 

The elders in our ward had a baptism this week, and institute happened to be at the same place and at the same time. . . it was so weird to get a glimpse of the single adult life. . .

I am so glad I have a few more months before I have to worry about all that again :)
