Concepcion, Paraguay (February 23, 2009)


Well this week was a good week. We did a lot of things. It was one of the best weeks that I have had in the mission I think. It was full of good stuff. We were very busy and we are working hard and having fun.
In my area there is a tiny little town like 30 minutes away in a bus. So we thought that we would go out there and work. So we left our house about 10 o'clock to start everything and we finally got a bus at 11.
We got there and worked for like 10 minutes and found this family whose family are members. We were talking to this lady and she asked us if we wanted to see her son who was sick. So went in this tiny hut and gave him a blessing. Then we had to leave, but it was really hard to see a person so sick. Someone told us there were no more buses, so we had to hitch a ride in the back of a brick truck. I got so dirty.
In that city it passes through the tropic of capricorn or something like that so it was really tropical.
Today was a pretty fun day. We left our house at 7 and went to this guys house who who was going to take us out in the jungle.
We walked in this grass that was up to my waist for about 20 minutes, then on a trail for about an hour, and then in a Paraguayan jungle for about 6 hours looking for stuff.
We didn't find anything, but it was an adventure cutting our way through vines in the jungle and stuff and trying weird fruit that I have never seen.
But love you all so much and hope that everything is going good for you all. Love you. Chan
