It's just a flesh wound!!!

Dear everyone,

This has been the wildest few weeks hahah I can't even believe what happened to me. I feel like I should just send pictures and leave it at that hahah.

Horqueta doens't have internet, so sorry to everyone for last week. :( Bummy. Sorry about that.

This week I experienced the paraguayan hospital! There's so many things that can kill you in Paraguay its a miracle that people even live here hahahh. But doen't worry about me! I lived!

This week we had the most amazing experience with a lady named Denise. She let us right in and we talked and talked and the spirit was SO strong like the strongest I have felt since I was in the temple. And she accepted a baptismal date. She was like, I can feel goosebumps when we sing the hymns, and I know God will answer my prayers. I didn't know there was another prophet but it all makes sense! And it was so cool!!! She has one little boy and her husband and they are so prepared!!

Also this sunday I taught relief society, and sunday school, and gave a talk in sacrament. We go hardcore here in Horqueta.

But really!!! This week I learned that even if God asks you to walk through the darkness of the adversary, He will never leave you alone! Even though it's been crazy, God has given us all the tools that we need to keep moving forward and to have complete confidence that it is all part of His greater plan and part of our benefit. :)

I love all of you so much! Stayin' alive here in Paraguay!

"We are so grateful for these two new sisters who are working here in Horqueta.  We love all of the missionaries so much but there are some who just know how to work and just do it.  They have new investigators, church attendance has climbed up again, and they are very obedient.  Hermana Scott is from California and Hermana Martinez is from Asuncion, Paraguay.  She speaks Spanish, Guarani, a little Portugues, and a little English. The work is progressing."

"Sometimes you just gotta look stuff in the face and you ask, "laugh or cry?" And its almost always better to just laugh it off!!! What are we gonna do about it right? That's something that Hermana Martinez bless her soul always says, "Well, que vamos a hacer?" What'll we do about it? Smile and learn and keep going!!!

I don't know why the Lord sent me to this place or this mission or anything but I am learning a heck of a lot of things!!! More than anything that we just need to love the people and do what we can and little by little we have faith that we will see the fruits of our labors. Even if we don't baptize the whole city of Horqueta, if we can help them correctly understand the Godhead, that's something valuable!!"
