Happy Birthday yesterday! I hope you had a good one. I enjoyed your birthday watching conference here in the wonderful La Paloma. But I will get to that in a bit. I am going to try to answer all of your questions before I forget. I am doing pretty good with my migraines. I have been getting more lately. About one a week, but I can usually manage it with the imitrex, so I honestly don't even notice it. I think I am good on the Imitrex, but maybe a few more would be good. 25 or 30 just to be safe. The daily stuff should last me all the way through my mission. I counted in my first area, so I should be fine. And if I needed it I bet I could find it here in the pharmacy. Plus you don't need a prescription haha. So if anyone needs anything when I come home..... Hahaha
I never got the letter with the chip in it. Robbed I m sure. Don't worry about sending it again. I got my package! Thank you so much. I opened it, but I am saving my present for my birthday. I get dearelders every 2 weeks and i love hearing from my friends.
Alright. So here is the news for the week. We went to Santaní on Tuesday to hear from Pres Madariaga. We got a little bit of chacha as they say here in Paraguay for the lack of results.... But it was really good and we left being built up. That is when I got my package as well, so it was great. Wednesday is when a little bit of a cold spell came into town... Man July is going to be rough.... Hahaha but we were also able to do some service for Isaías' grandparents. I bought some chickenwire for them so the little ones couldn't get out anymore because a dog was eating them and she couldn't leave the house alone to come to church. So we put it up for them... And both of them were there in conference! oh yeah! We still need to work with Julian and working on Sunday, but we'll get there.
We had a really cool finding experience this week. President Madariaga told us that we need to talk to more people. That night as we were walking home, quickly I might add because my comp was feeling the Paraguayan food.... hahaha. Anyway we saw some drunks and they called out to us to come over. I didn't want to go over, but I remembered what Pres. Maddog had said. So we talked to them and I set up an appointment with one of the kids for the next day, not thinking much of it. When we went the next day, Bruno was waiting for us. We taught him twice. And Saturday afternoon he was walking to conference with us!
Unfortunately.... I am in Paloma. So when I arrived at the chapel, I realized that all of Paloma was out of power, so we were unable to watch the first session of conference and Bruno went home. Julian and Josefa also came (Grandparents of Isaías) and went home.... So I was pretty bummed. But we were able to get all three of them to come again on Sunday. So great. I love conference and I love miracles.
Funny story of the week. I bought some Pringles for conference to enjoy some home sweet home. (not exactly cheap here in Paraguay). After looking for investigators on Sunday I came back to the second session to find a good nice Paraguayan man from Saltos chowing down on my Pringles! Patience! Forgiveness! Put a smile on your face Naegle! hahahaha it was pretty dang funny. At least he was sharing with everyone...
Well. Conference was great. I loved Elder Bednar's story in Priesthood session about his father. Made me think about whether or not I am acting like I hold the Priesthood or not. I also loved President Ucthdorf's talk on Sunday about forgiveness. Conference was awesome. I hope the 1st session was great too! Haha. You can imagine me watching conference in a little chapel with 7 other English speaking missionaries in Paraguay on a little tv. At least it was in English! Oh yeah!
Well I love you all. Have a great week.
Love, Elder Naegle
p.s. It is my birthday on friday, April 6. Please write a letter or something.... Hahahaha they even mentioned it in conference.... So if you don't do it... Well, you be the judge...
