Week 22 in Paraguay

This week here has been pretty crazy too. First off Tuesday we got super lost, ended up walking way out of our area without even knowing it trying to get somewhere. Then had to walk all the way back in. We got a call from the Bishop telling us that there was this Elder that just got back from his mission that just lives with his sister so he wanted us to be with him until he got released. So we had to go over to his house after losing all that time getting lost. We finally got that all figured out and were able to leave. We had already lost most of the day. After Tuesday we were trying to contact all of these referrals we got from the members. Most of the cards with the referrals on them just say to contact a certain member to get the address for the referral. We didn`t even know where members live, so this week pretty much felt like a finding game looking for people to find other people to find other people. It was a good week though. We have been to going to play soccer and basketball during the week because our Bishop told us there are always investigators there that like to play. We put two baptismal dates through that way this week. One of them that is pretty secure to get baptized on the 30th of this month, the other one is for May. One of my favorite days now is Friday because we get to go to the church and play soccer with the members, tell Kimi it was a good call buying the Sambas before I got down here, I use them all the time to play soccer. The members here are so fun to play with and I think I`m getting better, you play on little concrete courts here, so it is more of a first touch game, and I think it is helping me play better. Anyway, before soccer, Friday morning, our power goes out, so we went down to talk to the owner and he told us he was going to send someone up to look at it, but we needed to move out because other people wanted to move in. So what happened is that when we moved in he wanted us to pay a guarantee because the last missionaries that were here lived there and they left the place a mess, but the office here always just makes contracts, so we just paid for a month and told him we would come up with the contract during the month. We had lived there for a little over two weeks and he was already kicking us out and trying to make us pay to get it painted so we just moved out again this week into a different apartment that is actually a lot nicer and we are paying the same amount of money. That took up pretty much all of our day on Saturday though and then Sunday was Elder Williamson`s 21st birthday, so every member wanted us to come over to eat with them. We ended up eating at two lunch appointments, a dinner appointment, with two cakes and brownies that we made at the house at night, we ate so much food yesterday I felt like I was going to explode, Elder Williamson was so full at the Bishop`s house he had to lay down on the couch, it was a super fun day though. The members here really do love us. There are so many, so willing to help us out, and we are going to use that to get the work going here.
Well, I don`t have a lot more time left, this week is going to be a big week for everyone, I`ll be thinking about the family this week. The time has changed now so we are only two hours faster than what is happening in Utah, so it`ll be 1:40 here on Saturday when Kimi and Landon get sealed, right in the middle of the ciesta so I`m sure I`ll have time to think about you guys. I`m so thankful for the family I have and I`ll be thinking about all of you a lot this week, and its only 3 weeks from yesterday until I talk to you guys again, love you all, Elder Adamson V
