Return of the Ghost for week 3/22 AND Geology Ecology Eulogy Spooligy 3/29 (Two weeks)

 


3/22

Hau'pei a todos!


Somewhat of a busy week down here in the middle of nowhere. There were some moments that were pretty crazy so I'll just get right to the point and hit some highlights, here's what I got; we cleaned out a very moldy refrigerator, thought we had a gas leak and that we were going to die but I fixed it and we're still alive, taxi driver gave us some free torta, chased by too many dogs, almost got robbed but then they saw I was a tall white guy and they changed their minds & we also had a baptism! (Lovely day :))  

Alright about the ghost. Yesterday we were at a lunch with a member and we got on the topic of ghosts so our member started telling her experiences with ghosts, she continued to tell us a story about this one time when she had an egg on the table and she turned around to go do something real quick, when she turned back around it was an onion. Keep in mind she is being dead serious while telling us this and I'm trying to hold back my laughter because I thought it was going to be some freaky story and she was just tripping about an onion lol. Hearing this from an old 5 foot latina who loves to cook is the funniest thing to me and I can't stop thinking about it. She also told us about a bucket of water that turned into salsa haha. 

We started teaching a Japanese guy who only really speaks portuguese and is hiding from the Japanese government but he's super sweet! He also makes us some very great japanese food so I always look forward to our sunday meetings with him. 

That's about it for me this week but I have a bunch of time to talk today so email me!

3/29

Howdy howdy howdy,

I'm in quarantine. I somehow avoided it my entire time in Dallas and couldn't avoid it down here in the blessed land of Paraguay. The government decided to slap the entire country with a week long quarantine so at least I'm not in this alone.

Quarantine as a missionary is about as exciting as you can imagine, I've gotten pretty great at making omelettes, tried to catch some lizards in our casa, perfected the craft of washing my clothes by hand and also read more than ever before, which is something that I've come to love on my mission.

I've been able to realize how much the work can still move forward in very unique ways, we're planning to have a class teaching how to make cinnamon rolls to the paraguayos so they can eat something other than cornbread and chipa, which is just hard bread in the shape of a donut haha.

Here's a fire quote by my man Neal A Maxwell that helped a lot this week and hopefully it can help y'all as well, "preoccupation with the past can keep us from facing and shaping the future". 

Throughout the week don't think twice about sending me emails, talks, scriptures, things to study in gospel library or just anything to keep me occupied so I don't go crazy for the next 8 days :)) it'll be much appreciated. 

I also might have covid, whoops

Con muchísimo amor y jajoheshapeve,

 July 11, 2022 _ Mostlikely last letter Haupei! Yeah I can't really believe that I'm writing a letter either. My companion and I have been working harder than ever before and it's really paying off. This last week we found 8 new people, had 12 at church and set a date and a wedding for one of our main homies Freddy. Giving it our all this last little bit I have left. This feels extremely gratifying after first finding this same area with lots of unnecessary ward drama and little to no success in the missionary work.  My time in Paraguay is coming to an end here in a week and a half so I thought I'd write a letter for my final reflection because I really find it unlikely to write two weeks in a row; my mission really changed my life, feels like the pivotal moment of my life. Though I'm ever so excited to be home I'm surely going to miss my friends and companions here in Paraguay, Especially the people and the loving culture.  People don't lie when they say it...

Yukyry - December 13, 2021 and January 10, 2022

 Dec 13, 2021 What's up everybody, First week in Yukyry was super crazy!! The area is massive so we've been walking around a ton. It also happens to be unbelievably hot so and there have been times when we're running late to lessons and we have to be running down these little trails in the jungle and I'll have sweat flowing down my face. It feels like I'm in a weird Tom Cruz movie or something. I found out this week that the most beloved man in Paraguay is apparently Chuck Norris. The work is really good. It feels like Christmas in July so really it feels like the fourth of July and not Christmas. I also decided to learn Italian this week so we'll see where that goes. I've also been working on how long I can hold my breath and the most I've gotten is 1:24. I've been really studying the book of Romans lately and it's been great. Message me! Con Heteiterei Rohayhu, Tujape Fuell Hello everybody  Im doing good and I'm of good health, my parent...

yukywhoooo   Hello Hello! I've really got to get better at writing emails, The biggest news is that I'm getting transferred from Luque 2 to another area in my zone called Yukyry! it's pronounced like jewkooroo & I don't have a clue what it means but im sure i'll figure it out soon enough. I was called as the new District Leader and I'm gonna be with an Elder who just left his training so it should be pretty fun. The best thing I've heard about Yukyry is that it's basically in the jungles and people like to steal the shoes of the rich(er) looking people, so i'm excited! These last 6 months in Luque have definitely been the hardest and the most rewarding of my mission and I'll always look back on it as the area where I grew the most. We had a lot of potential going in the area right now and I tend to be a pretty sentimental person which sucks so leaving always blows but I'm genuinely excited for this next chapter of my mission. I've als...
