Week 23 in Paraguay

So it sounds like everyone is just settling down after a crazy full week, It was a fun week for us here too, I kept asking my comp what time it was and telling him exactly what I thought all of you were doing at that time. Sounds like Kimi's wedding turned out great, and everyone had an exciting week. Now you are going to have another full week with Andrea's baby coming. This week was pretty full here too, we had tons of help from members this week and ended with 39 lessons with members present, which is just crazy. We figured out that after Thursday we didn`t teach a single lesson without a member being there, and then on Sunday we had 3 investigators in church, and the best part about that is that we didn`t go and look for any of them, they were all brought by members. The members in the ward here just love us now and the work is really starting to get going. We had a big ward meeting this week that the bishop planned to get the members together to figure out how we could be more unified and firm as a ward, and he asked us to prepare something to present to the ward on our mission plan that we put together. Our ward mission leader is fantastic too, he helped us out with everything and the meeting turned out super nice. We started by reading a quote from Gordon B. Hinckley that says how great will be the day when the members aren`t just praying for the missionaries, but they are also praying for their own missionary experiences inside their own wards and branches. Then we watched this video our ward mission leader has called Small and Simple things made by a North Carolina Mission, you can You Tube it and find it if you want to watch it. I`ll let you watch it to see how it is, but it just shows this girl having a her own missionary experience. We used the video to kind of animate the members and get them set and ready to start helping and getting us a lot a references. It looks like so far it has worked because the members are all super excited and all want to split off with us. So many that we haven`t had time to be able to have them all help us. Oh, and after the meeting we had some really good barbecue steak. The steak meat here is so good, and they really don`t put anything on it, and it is still super good. Another thing the members have really been doing for us, we have lunch appointments everyday. It seems like every time we go over to a members house for anything they bring out food to use, especially our bishops house. Our bishop and his wife have a catering business, so they always bring us out food no matter when we go by. We have a lunch appointment there on Wednesdays and the bishop`s wife just keeps offering us more and more food. The food is so good that you don`t want to stop eating. We walk a ton here, but I still think with how much the members are feeding us I`ve got to gain weight here. I have lost weight since the MTC though. I'm back down to how I was when I left on my mission, but I think I`ll be going back up before leaving this area. Anyway, running short on time now though, we`ve got two baptisms set up and ready to go for the 7th of May, just in time to talk to you guys on the 9th! Love you tons and thanks for all the prayers and letter (but I could always use more letters) love you so much, Elder Adamson V
