I will try to answer your questions first. Elder Johnson is from Burley, Id. He has been out for 9 months. He served in a place called Luque. It is huge, cant miss it on a map. 6 people in our district. Kennedy shares our chapel. The chapel is actually in their area. Super funny about Angie's husband. We do our shopping at super 6, I ate there last week. We played soccer today at the San Lorenzo stake center. The food is really good.
Also, I saw Alyse(Wilde- a girl from our home ward) today... Kinda weird... I had like 10 missed calls after playing soccer. Turns out they were trying to find me. One of the office elders was like, some lady has called me like a hundred times trying to get a hold of you... Hahaha but they finally did and they came and found me in San Lorenzo. I got my package! Thanks Mom! Haven't really looked too much at it yet, but I am sure it is great. It was kinda weird seeing someone that I know. It was kinda awkward, I don't really know how to act in that type of situation, but I think I did alright. hahahaha
Funny story of the week. Our power breaker couldn't handle our shower... So sometimes the power would cut in the middle of your shower, well friday night I went to take a shower and it fried the breaker and the wire to the power lines... Awesome... Random side note, while I was showering in the dark in the cold water I thought about the time I went skinny dipping with Mohl and Niglet at Bear Lake in the middle of the night! hahahaha. Anyway, the next morning I had to go contacting, for an electrician! Found an old man who doubles as a plumber and shoe repair man. He climbed up on an old ladder that didn't quite reach and attached the new wire directly to the power line. That is how it is done here in Paraguay. At least he tied his ladder to the pole so it wouldnt fall.
Then we had the baptism of Paolo and his younger sister. Paolo couldn't get baptized last week, but he pullled through strong this week and quit smoking. He asked me to baptize him and I gladly accepted.
This week was really good. A lot of rejection, but it was still good. I have found that rejection just makes the good moments that much better. I am sure we will have some really good finds this week. We will also have the baptism of Mariano and Araseli this week, which means figuring out another wedding.... Gonna be fun! Wouldn't be a mission if it wasn't a challenge!
The church is true. if you don't know, well it is pretty easy to find out. Read the Book of Mormon and pray to know if it is true. If it is true, Joseph Smith was a true prophet. If Joseph Smith was a prophet, this is the true Church of Jesus Christ with the authority of God. I know it is true.
Love, Elder Naegle
p.s. We burn our trash here in Paso de Oro. Is that better than throwing it in a well like I did in La Paloma? You be the judge!!!!
