It's been a year!!

Wowow it's been a year

As I've been reflecting over the past year I feel like there have been few things I've been able to learn; how to be a little more patient, how deliberate faith with diligent action leads to revealed miracles, about the everlasting and true atonement of Him who prepared us, the application of the plan of redeeming happiness, how to listen, striving to love unconditionally, a little spanish, the importance of our eternal identity, and how we can be like Enoch, continually walking and talking with the Lord.

I'm not sure what this next chapter of my mission entails but if it's anything like the first, I couldn't be more excited.

 Hello all, 


I hope everybody has had a great summer and is enjoying the return back to school/work as well as getting ready for the fall, which, in my opinion is the best time in Utah. 

It's been a few weeks since I've sent a weekly out so I have a few things to catch up on; the area has been booming recently, we should have two baptisms over the next few weeks and maybe a third on it's way soon, the people have been progressing which has been an incredible blessing. The past month has been very busy and very fun, I think as I'll get older I'll always look to my time here in Luque as some of my favorite memories in Paraguay. 

This week I'm hitting a year and it's been on my mind, it feels strange. Reflecting on it all I've come to realize how blessed I've been. 5 great companions, 3 incredible areas and 2 missions. Definitely been hitting the jackpot left and right. 

This is basically all that's been new over here. Let me know of any new and exciting news in any of your lives, I'd love to hear about it.

Song of the week, or month: It's Been a Year - Tom Rosenthal, rightfully.

 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...
