Week 30 in Parguay Change 5 Week 5

So another fast week already in Paraguay, I can`t believe how fast the time is moving by. I was just thinking this morning looking at Elder Williamson`s countdown that I have already been in San Lorenzo now for 11 weeks this week, it still kind of seems like I just got here. Anyway, so things are kind of crazy here right now with the World Cup starting last week and all. I don`t know if you guys knew that it started or not, but the World Cup here is pretty much the world for the people down here. Every advertisement and promotions and everything having to do with business in general here is revolving around the World Cup. It has got me pretty into it, too. I borrowed a little pamphlet from a member here to make a bracket last P-day like they do in the states with March Madness and I gave it to the members here to fill out. We have all been having a lot of fun speculating what is going to happen. Pretty much everyone says its Brazil and Spain in the final, so we`ll see what happens. Paraguay plays their first game today, against Italy, the defending champions. We`ll see how it goes, we`re all getting ready to watch it, all the missionaries got permission to watch the game in both missions here and all the zones are getting together to watch it in our building. Paraguay has a pretty good team and Italy lost a lot of players from the last cup, so we`ll see what happens, we are hurting a little from what happened to Salvador Cabañas, but I think we still got a chance to win, or at least tie.
The work has been pretty slow lately, we had a couple people ready for church this last week and when we went to check on them on Saturday the one had a miscarriage and was sick in bed. She didn`t even know she was pregnant. The other ones told us they were going to Chechos (a dance club here in San Lorenzo) Saturday night and then to church in the morning. We asked them what time they were going to get home to sleep and they told us they were planning to stay at Chechos until six in the morning, then to the church at eight. Needless to say, we didn`t see any of them in the church on Sunday. Our convert that we gave the priesthood came though, so we had three of our four converts in church, even though we didn`t have any investigators.
More than that, not really much has been going on lately, I had chivivi (the runs in Guaraní) last week for a while and I`m still kind of recovering from that, but I`m feeling a lot better now. I love you all and I`ll be working hard this week to send Elder Willy off (home) with some hard working memories, love Elder Adamson V
