Week 87 in Paraguay Change 15 Week 2

So, this was one of the fastest weeks I think I have ever had in my mission, seriously, it is just flying by, and the funny part is we really aren't having any success, that usually makes it go pretty slow, but somehow it's flying by. Anyway, I've got some good stories from yesterday, so right now the Copa America is being played, it's pretty much the world cup of the Americas. Last night Paraguay played in a Quarter Final game against Brazil, the two time reigning champion of the tournament, and Paraguay won in shoot out. Their goalie blocked two shots by himself, which is actually really impresive. President told us to move our studies during the Paraguay games because no one accepts us during the games. We were studying just waiting for the bombs to go off when they scored and it was the silentest game ever. We finished our studies and we were about to leave, thinking Brazil had won because we didn't hear any fireworks, when we got a call from Elder Reyes, who is the senior comp of the other side of Santaní. There are four missionaries in the branch, anyway, he called us and told us that his comp left him and was at the house, he had called the mission president and he told him to go home to his companion, but he didn't want to go because he was so mad he thought he would punch him, so I told him to stay at the member's house he was at and we went straight to the other Elder's house. Well, meanwhile while all this was happening the game went into shoot out and people just went crazy, screaming at goals, swearing at missed shots, and then Paraguay won and it was the craziest thing I have ever seen. I have never seen people celebrate anything like that, so Santaní isn't really a big city. It has 3 main streets that make a triangle through the middle of the city, anyway, once Paraguay won EVERYONE got into their car, or on a moto, or just went to those streets, which we just happened to be walking on to get to the other Elder's house, with super loud music and honking horns, people were riding on windshields, people were hanging out windows, it was crazy, but I guess they deserved to celebrate, I mean they did beat Brasil, which is a powerhouse soccer team, and they made it to the semi final. They play Venezuela on Wednesday to see who goes to the final, the other semi final is Uruaguay and Peru, hopefully Paraguay wins and plays Uruaguay so we can have a battle of the "guays", get it? I've got some videos of the celebration from my comps camera and Elder Reyes's camera. Anyway, as for the missionaries, we got to the house and Elder Aguilar was in his room crying, so Elder Aguilar is brand new and Elder Reyes is kind of lazy, and he went to the member's house to watch the game, and Elder Aguilar is Paraguayan and he wanted to be obedient and not watch the game so he got in a fight with his companion and just left. I talked to our mission President with a plan we came up with and he gave us permission to do a quick division overnight, I slept in the other house and Elder Aguilar stayed with my companion for the night. I was able to talk a whole lot to Elder Reyes after talking to Elder Aguilar and it sounds like both of them are a little too prideful and think the other one is always wrong, well, anyway, Elder Reyes is getting a special change on Wednesday to an area in Asunción so tomorrow we are going to find out who is the new missionary coming to Santaní. Anyway, I'm past time already, President is coming tomorrow to do a capacitation with our zone, so the whole zone is coming tonight and we have interviews with President tomorrow and then we are doing a division with the assistants on Wednesday, so we have a pretty full schedule for the week already. Anyway, I love you all so much, oh, other news, another one of the missionaries in my zone got a gun pulled on him this week. They were teaching a teenager of about 16 years and his dad came out with a gun pointed at them telling them to get out of the house. We've got a pretty fun zone, love you all! Elder Adamson V
