Well we had this appointment and everything and then all of a sudden the lady said, "Hold on", and then she brought more and more people. In the end there were like 17 people huddled around us and listening. It felt pretty cool, not gonna lie. And then Sunday most of them came to church. We had 9 in the church and they came in a cart. It was cool. We are going to go with them next week in their cart. Those things are fun ha ha.So I am very glad that I brought my speedo. We have not showered for 4 days cause we don't have water. Then it rained very hard, so I got my speedo on to take a shower in the rain.
This next week we are going to have changes again. This change went by so, so, so, so fast it is crazy. I have a feeling that we are going to stay here though, cause right now we are having more success. Like this week we are baptizing 5 people, so that's cool.
Well there is this family that we have been teaching a lot and they were going to get married and also baptized and so Friday was the big day. They were getting married and we realized we didn't have any baptism clothes, so we were running around trying to get the clothes but we couldn't. They couldn't do it on Saturday
so Sunday was the day. Our church starts at 2 and they showed up at 1:45 to do the baptism, so we had to run around and get them all dressed and do the baptism before church. OMG it was so crazy. They didn't bring towels so they had to go into Sacrament soaking wet. They got confirmed right then and there soaking wet. We baptized 6 in that family of 10 and baptized another lady.Today was a good week. Things are good with my new comp. Well there is this big black howler monkey gorilla looking thing that we were scared of. The other day we were walking and we saw it so I got out my camera and started filming it and running. Then we talked to this member and he told us that it was nice and that we can play with it. So that is what we did. First my comp went up and it was growling in this really low pitched growl and grabbed my comp and started biting him on the face and stuff. Not that hard, like it was just playing and all that. Then it started to crawl all over him. Then it went on his head and started grooming him, like going through his hair looking for bugs. Then it jumped on me and started to bite my head. Pretty dang hard too. It was fun though. It was holding my tie and wouldn't let go. It was funny. If you say bye and go to shake his hand he shakes it. It's pretty cool.
Well today me and my comp wanted to go do something fun so we went to the area of Aregua. My old comp is there right now. A cerro is just a big hill and there are not a lot of cerros or hills in Paraguay. It is all flat. So we went there and had to climb these huge rocks to get to the top and we kept falling. There was a cliff that was like 100 feet down on each side so it was a rush.
Well the lady that got baptized a week ago was at church and her lil boy was running around and was jumping down stairs and rolled his ankle. He couldn't walk so Lorena, my convert, asked if I could hold her baby that is 5 months old. I had to hold that baby on a collectivo, bus, and stuff. I held it for a long time and it was weird cause I never hold babies. This week I emailed my teacher of Spanish and he told me he served a mission back in the day. That was cool cause I didn't know that he was Mormon.
