Hey mother,

 

Hey family whats up? So i had a pretty interesting week this week. Tuesday night we had to travel in bus to asuncion and we went to a doctor wednesday morning that told us we needed to see another doctor but she didnt work wednesday so we had to stay in asuncion another day and thursday we went to this other doctor and waited 4 hours to get in then she told us some stuff that was wrong with him then told him to take another blood test which they didnt do that day only friday morning so we had to stay again.. Those days we were there the office elders just gave us a map of their area then told us to go work. It was pretty fun. Really hot in asuncion its like 108 around there. yeah. Id take your cold that you have back home haha i havent felt cold in like 2 years. Then friday we took the blood test in the morning then went and got on a pretty unrich bus that didnt have ac so that was an uncomfortable 6 hours back home haha but we finally got home. It was awesome on tuesday night we went with the familia alvarez to dinner at an outdoor bbq place it was so sweet. Then friday they took us out again with the other elders to a rodicio brazilian grill where they bring the meet out to you. I love that family so much. Saturday i got the early sad news that i was getting changed. They are going to whitewash our area cause my comp was told by presidente that he needs alot of treatment that has to be done in asuncion so hes going over there. And becuase i only have 5 changes left they are changing me too. So yeah us and the members here are way sad. Already three of our favorite families have been crying. Its not an easy thing at all. Im excited to go to another area but these members literally have been like my closest family next to you guys. They are incredible. We have lunch with one of the brazilian families today to send us off then we have 3 dinners tonight with members and another one mañana. Im just so greatful to know that the changes are inspired by god but it will be hard to leave. Especially also we saw some miracles this week. There was a nephi of a member that just moved into his house like 2 weeks ago and he has been to church with us twice now and wants to get baptized next week. he loves it. Then a brazilian family just came to church tomorrow saying that they are all members but the dad and the dad told us that he wanted to get baptized. Then another member yesterday just brought her friend to church that loved it too... haha danget. im so stoked for them to get baptized but what  a bummer that i wont be there for it. The lord knows what he´s doing i have know doubt about that. There are people in my next area that need to be baptized and i will be there for that. I dont know where im going yet i think ill find out tonight but yeah thats about whats goin on here. Im so greatful to know that you guys are doing good. what incredible blessings the lord is giving our family. There is an elder in our ward from mexico that goes home with me and he says his mom wants him to extend his mission cause they need the blessings that they are recieving from the lord with him being out. I hope you guys feel those blessings... I do... I love you family your amazing have a great week.
