Once again we have stayed busy! We are also in Asuncion because my companion has migrations so I don't have very much time. Tuesday we had our District meeting in Pedro Juan Caballero, and we had to get a projector from the District (Stake) President. Wednesday Thursday and Friday we spent looking for new people to teach about Christ and his gospel. We found a good number of people that are really cool and hopefully they can continue to learn and progress! Saturday and Sunday we had General Conference. We were going to watch in Guarani because that's all a lot of people understand here but it didn't work so we had to watch in Spanish. We were able to watch some of the talks in Guarani. We didn't get to watch the Priesthood session on Saturday, but hopefully we will have a chance to watch it in a re-broadcast.
I did learn a couple things this week that I wanted to share. Having heard each of these points in detail at least 2 times each, I say they are important.
1. Read your scriptures and pray every day. The current prophet told us all to, so we should.
2. God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy ghost are 3 separate beings. Those who do number 1 will come to find this true.
3. Itś a hard one, but watching sports on Sunday is a no no. It drives our thoughts away from what we should be thinking about on the Sabbath.
4. To live your religion, you need to share your religion. If you know it's true, let other people know so they can have the truth too.
5. There are about a billion things I could write, but it's all there in General
1 and 2 Zone Pedro Juan Caballero

14 We arrived to district meeting 30 minutes early as a district... oops
15 Elder Castro thought it was funny that I had white rice, yellow rice, and arroz con leche (rice with milk) when we went out to eat. All I have to say is there weren't many options hahaha
16 Chef Olson once again
17 Lunch in the house
18 We have a young man, Airton, that just spends all day every day with us and translates. He really is the MVP here because we don't understand anyone hahaha
19-20 we played 4 corners for Noche de Rama Thursday. It was a pretty big hit. Suprisingly nobody had ever played it before but me.
21-24 Noche de Rama
25 Ending the day with Airton
21-24 Noche de Rama
25 Ending the day with Airton
26-28 Service project gathering and cutting wood for a fire
29-31 same as the previous
32 setting up general conference. It was more difficult than it looks
33 I'm the biggest pro here at computers hahaha
34-36 There was a lack of observers as conference started... but quality over quantity, am I right...(The members started showing up about 20 or 30 minutes late)
37-40 Meet Derlis. He is the son of our recent convert Nanci. He thankfully fell asleep for the whole day Sunday hahaha
41-42 Conference session 1 ended and Derlis didn't wake up
43-44 We had to do something to keep the people occupied between sessions, So I played hymns on the computer, and we sang along. It was great having a computer to sing with, because the computer stays on tune hahaha. We sang a few that only I knew which was great, because the members got to learn a few new ones
45 The new name tags finally came in, and I recieved mine in Guarani. In 6 weeks when the next set comes, I'ĺl have some in Portuguese too! Fun stuff!
46 5 star cleaned houses! Look in the middle
47 Itś us!
And that's the week! Y'all have a good one! Also Go Heels, its a GDTBATH ( i.e. Good Day to Be a Tar Heel)!
