Cows in the street and watermelon on heads

Wow. 3 months. Unreal. It has not been that long.

So great about Zayah!! I am super proud of him. That made me so happy!

Well I don't have many questions to answer, which is ok, I have stuff to write. Always. Sorry for no pics again.

First of all, random cows roam the street. We try to avoid them because some have some nice horns.

I spitshined my shoes the other day real quick on the way out the door and my comp was super confused. I had to explain to him what spitshining was. He asked me if I do the same thing with my hair. Haha super funny, I never thought it would be so weird. He also has all these presumptuous thoughts about the USA from movies and reality tv, that all kids spit at their parents and all rebel all crazy and stuff. I try to tell him that reality tv is really the crazies, but he assures me that he "knows what the US is like" and that Utah is probably just different. Silly him.

I got music!! Oh how is sooths my soul. I love it.

We saw a lady walking with a watermelon balancing on her head. Super cool.

The culture here is very Catholic, and they believe in a bunch of Virgins and the Child Jesus mostly. It's hard cuz its their culture, so when we ask them to change, we are asking them to shirk their culture. Its hard.

I bought a hymnbook! then lost it... Rats.

We had the meeting with Christofferson! He spoke in perfect Spanish! Wow. I got to shake his hand! I also asked him a question, I asked him how the Gospel had helped him in his life. It was weird cuz everyone else asked about investigators or how to teach, but I just wanted to know that!

I met Elders McSwain and Rigby! Super cool guys.

Its funny in the mornings when its like 60 degrees and everyone has beanies and coats. Haha silly Paraguayans think its cold.

Super cool member Baptism this week. We filled the font, but the water looked like lemonade. So we cleaned it out and filled it again, grabbing buckets and filling in sinks to hurry it up. Super funny and fun! She will have a great story to tell.

Well I gotta go, it is short this week, I didn't have my full 2 hours. 

WEll remember everyone that Jesus Christ suffered for us one by one. One by one he felt our pains, one by one he suffered our guilts, one by one he thought of us in the Garden. He loves us. 

With all my imperfect yet sincere love for you all, Elder Jake
