So
another week flew by................... We basically didn't spend any time in
the area this week and I'll tell you why. So Monday was Pday. Then Tuesday we worked in the morning but
then in the afternoon we were supposed to take a bus to a meeting that we had
with a Seventy Elder Salas in Resistencia.... and long story short, the bus
broke and came almost 6 hours late.... So we just sat on a bench in the cold
for 6 hours :) Then I slept all night on the bus and got to Resistencia Wednesday morning. Elder Salas was
sweet. He talked about what it really means to be of the House of the Covenant
and how nothing in the work of salvation is casual. It really got me excited to start my last
transfer... (This one) and just do everything possible to help others
come unto Christ. It's such a privilege I have in this moment in my life. Then
we had another meeting Thursday with Elder Salas but this time in Formosa
Capital. So we took another bus over there and the night before the meeting we
had to go do a baptismal interview, but not just any interview, an interview in
Gautani (the native language in Paraguay) obviously I don't speak that language
but the Elder I was with Elder Gonzalez did. But the man who was going to be
baptized was the Dad of Hno C, a baptism me and Elder Johnson had some 9
months ago... The Dads name is M, and he is 80 and he lived in Paraguay
because he got really sick so his son is taking care of him and the Elders
taught him and really wanted to be forgive and baptized :) so that was special
for me. Then Thursday was another meeting. Then we took the bus back
to Lomitas and worked all Friday and Saturday.
Sunday church was great. we had an
all time high attendance of 27 :) and 4 investigators came :) D (who is going
to be baptized this week :) C, A, and N the sister of
A. And then we headed back to Ibarreta to Skype...... so President Franco
called me and told me that for my last 6 weeks I will be training a new elder
:) I still have no idea who it is but we are going tonight to go and get him. so ya I'm
pumped to just party it up this last transfer and just make the most of the
time I have left. I love you all.
