Hey Family!!!!
So first so that you all know. you may be hearing about the fights going on here in paraguay between the police and the farmers. i am far, far away from that and i actually believe it is out of our mission. it is more towards the north and I'm still in Asuncion so things are all tranquilo here.
so i'll give you the biggest miracle. margarita (sister of recent convert) and tata (daughter of member) were ready to go for their baptism on saturday. we were not able to get the permision for jhonatan all week long. we gave the paperwork to his grandma so that she could get the signature. she tried 2 times with no success, friday night she goes over there and gets the permission. we honestly postponed his baptism for this week, but we get a text in the morning that said, "jhonatan is gonna get baptized. we got the signature." me and my companion went ballistic (wow haven't used that word in a while) what a huge miracle from the Lord. we have been seeing His hand in the work so much. right now we have two families getting ready to be baptized in the next two weeks. one of the families we shared with just this last friday. saturday they went to the baptism and loved it, and sunday they went to church and loved it even more!!!!! they are so amazing its a dad, mom, and their daughter. (luis, norma, and sofia) they are all amazing. luis has some health issues but the Lord will bless him i know he will!!!
now to give you the full adventure story for the baptism. its a good one. saturday morning after getting the message at about 7am we head out to go drain the fount. to come to find that one of the main electricity things, which i don't have the vocabulary for, exploded and it didn't work. so we did what we could with the drainer turning on and off constantly. we went home to study. 10:30 we go back and call electricity people to come fix it. from 10;30 till 1;30 we are emptying it all out with just buckets that we brought from our house OHHHH YAAAAA love the mission. well my comp did most of the heavy work. i was trying to fix the machine. we get it out. go do one visit with jhonatan and then come back around 4 to fill the fount and clean it all up to find that the water is going slow. so we take a hose from outside and fill it up. at the end the most important thing happened. they got baptized!!!
i am so grateful for a father in heaven who loves me and who sent his only begotten son to save me. i am so grateful for the atonement it has a special place in my life and I'm really coming to understand it more and more. to leave old bad or ok habits behind and pick up what the lord wants me to do. i know that my savior and my father LIVE! they love us all and want us to receive this gospel and the blessings that it brings. one of the biggest things is to receive the Holy Ghost. when you read 3 nefi 19 it talks about how the holy ghost is what the people wanted most. and I'm so grateful for His guidance and comfort.
dad is amazing and I'm grateful for him. fathers day has come and gone and his bday will too but i want you to know dad that i love you and pray for you and love your example. i gave a talk about you on sunday and how grateful and key you have been in my life and how you have helped me come to know my father in heaven.
i love you all and pray for you daily
