Happy New Year!!! I hope you had a good one. The a key is sticking on this keyboard so you might be getting a few more a than normal. But anyway. My new year was pretty good.Yes I was fast asleep at midnight. Fireworks went off like crazy at midnight apparently, but it didn´t wake me up, just my comp. Hahaha I am way to tired to be woken up by firecrackers big enough to kill someone. So yep.
Old Benny as assistant. I have been waiting for that email. He is a stud. I figured it was only a matter of time. I miss that kid. He is tearing it up in Colombia. Good for him. Congratulations to Jess and Dallin. I am excited for them. Wish I could have been there for it, but the Lord needs me to have the runs here in La Paloma.... hahah but seriously. Not sure why, I have never eaten so well in my entire mission.
But Anyway. I will give you a rundown of the week. Monday I had a good chat with Elder Bennett from Cardston. He is a good kid. He worked up on an oil rig 6 hours north of fort mac so we had a good chat about all that stuff. Tuesday we had an awesome lesson with our main progressing investigator. Her name is Liz. She is the boyfriend of a less active member. She had started to fall, and this was the first time I had really talked to her, but it was an awesome lesson. We explained how the Spirit works and how her answer of the BOM would be. She started to realize that she was receiving an answer to her prayers. It was a sweet lesson.
Wednesday my comp had to go to Asunción to sign some stuff like I had to last transfer, so he got on a bus with a kid from Saltos late the night before and Elder Staker hopped off. Staker has 1 more change than I do in the mission. It was a sweet division. He lived out at the sand dunes before the mission, so ofcourse we hit it off right from the bat. He loves to snowmobile too, and he loves that we have a huge excursion hahah. He has a big old truck that he has restored. Him and his dad have a body shop in Riverton. He likes riding quads though, so I am going to have to convert him to dirt bikes when I get home... Hahaha it was a way fun exchange though.
Friday it rained super hard, which is always fun... But I dont mind. And Saturday/Sunday we had a cool experience. My comp and I were in the street figuring out where we were going to go next because everything had fallen through, when this lady came up to us. She was from Brazil, but she could speak some Spanish. She had her son with her that couldnt speak because he has some disabilities. She was just visiting her family here in La Paloma. She had been baptized in Brazil 14 years ago and she goes to church every Sunday. She asked us when church was, but then she didnt come so we went to visit her. She told us her son was having some health issues in the morning so she couldnt come, but we shared with her a little bit. None of her family is member, and they didnt want anything to do with us, but she was so humble and the coolest lady ever. It was really cool.
Sunday. Well let me just tell you about my lunch on sunday.... It was incredible. I could have been eating it at home and the only thing I would have noticed was that it wasnt as good as my moms cooking! Seriously though, I was blown away. I even had to take my shoes off to go inside this members house. Actually a few members houses here in La Paloma. Lets just say I didnt have to do that in old Trinidad... Haha I am loving it. She made this dessert that you will have to try mom. She put Mburcuya, which is passion fruit I believe, and condensed milk and a cream of something. I dont know, someone interupted her, but she put it in the blender and then in the fridge and it makes like a mousse type dessert, then put it on green jello. It was delicious. thought I was in Utah with the green jello hahaha. But we will have to try it. It was way good.
Quick fun/weird thing of the week. I was in a little despensa talking to some less active members yesterday, and they had a pair of fox shoes. A pair of fox shoes. I couldnt believe it. I was blown away. Hahahah what are the odds?
Anyway. I know that this is the true Church of Jesus Christ. I am so happy to be a missionary in 2012. I enjoy singing El fin se acerca, the end is near, Dont know what the hymn is called in english,a but anyway I enjoy singing it to mess with people a little bit because everyone in Paraguay is worried about the end of the world haha I dont do it very often dont worry. But I love then sharing the message of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is so amazing. I hope everyone has a great new year and a great 2012. See you in 2013!!! Haha
Love, Elder Naegle
