So we set apart like an hour of service this week to teach Mirlen to read. And she knew all the letters and we worked with her on the sounds that the letters make. And with a lot of work and patience on her part and ours haha, she read her first word! And then she read her first verse of the book of Mormon, ¨Y mi padre vivia en una tienda.¨ WOOHOO it was awesome!!! The Spirit is SO strong when people read their first words, its crazy. Its like being in the temple, I dont know why. Awesome.
And her baptism was great. The Elders also had a baptism so it was triple baptism, triple cake, and 53 people were in attendance. It was great. Man it was great. Mirlen was like crying the whole time because she said she felt so so so happy. Its been a great change haha
Also a member actually offered to give us lunch this week! It was GREAT! It was like hawaiian haystacks.. but more tasty.
And we heard from Cristhian the other day. Hes going to church and he wants a calling as sunday school teacher but the bishop hasnt given him one yet haha. He is sincerely a paraguayan enigma.
And its my last week in the mission!!! Im like trying soooooooo hard to work but its sooooooooooo hard to concentrate hahaha. I think that Hna Sanchez is putting together some type of farewell party but shes being pretty secretive so.. not quite sure on that one. But its been good. I like, look at some things and Im like, I can NEVER leave this country! And other times I see men peeing in the street and Im like... yes I can hahahah. Oh jeez. Its been a crazy ride.
So God is blessing us a lot. I have such a great love for Him. He is really... El es lo maximo. I love being a Mormon. Seriously I love it. I dont ever want to be anything thats not Mormon because being a Mormon is the best.
Also I love you. LOOK AT ALL OUR BLESSINGS
Enjoy your last 12 days without me.
