It's Raining It's Pouring

Elder parker's letter cam on time I just got carried away in the hassles of the week and forgot to post. Regrets. Remember to write him


Hey everyone!!!!

So this sunday we were hoping to get all of our investigators to church so that we could have 4 baptisms this saturday but sadly due to the rain only one came. But still huge blessing and we are planning a baptism for this saturday for a grandaughter of members who is Monce. We just have to get the permission from her mom and its all good to go!!! Actually we already have her permission we just need her to sign the paper. 

So i dont know if last week i talked about Gustavo. Gustavo is a kid who dropped out of school and now just works like crazy. He lives with his uncle and aunt. His mom and brothers who are all members live in Argentina with whom he doesnt really talk to anymore. Anyway he is amazing gave up smoking and drinking. He had a baptismal date for sat but unfortunately he got pulled to work out in the campo for two weeks. We talked to him and were very direct and said ¨Gustavo, do you really want to be baptized?¨ His response was the best one i have ever heard. I dont only know that its the true church of god on the earth and what I'm supposed to do in my head, but i feel it deep in my heart that i have found the true gospel of Jesus Christ.¨ Yes!!!  how amazing. He is committed to be baptized in two weeks. 

So this is the last full week of this transfer. Ya WHAT??? I feel like ive just got here. But its ok time flies by. The area that we live in i have really come to love. The area is not as huge as my old one but the people are really nice. That is a common thing with all of the Paraguayan people. They are so friendly and awesome!!!! Yesterday Paraguay beat Brazil in the Copa America. So now they are in the semi´s a future note for any future missionaries in countries where soccer is a religion. During the soccer game go to investigators who dont have tvs and make official visits because literally the streets are dead. Its crazy as soon as the game is over the streets are full of people till the end of the night.

Well im sorry but this is gonna be another short and sweet. I can promise a long one with photos the next week. 

The church is so true. Ive been reading ¨Our Heritage¨ and its just helped me realize more and more how amazing this gospel is and how the restoration is one of the most amazing things to ever happen on this earth.

My love and prayers go to you all

Elder Wilson
