Week 85 in Paraguay Change 14 Week 6

I don't really know what to write this week, we're in Asuncion again, we had our zone leader council today and we are in the bus station waiting for our bus to come so we can go back to Santan. Things in the area and the branch are pretty slow right now, Liz and Edgar haven't gone to church now in 4 weeks and we are going to have to drop them if they don't decide to either get married or move out this week. It has been really hard with them, but in the end I think it will help them to just be really direct and drop them for a little while. We are teaching this teenage boy named Rodrigo that went to church yesterday. He lives super far away from the church and is really excited about going, we haven't talked to his parents yet though. That is the project for this week, to try and meet them and get permission for Rodrigo to get baptized. They have a huge farm with a bunch of cows and other animals, so they are usually really busy when we come over, but we'll find a way to get to them. It is kind of fun to go to his house, it is actually a miracle we found him, because he lives way back in the woods and its the only house on the road. We just walked by him one day in the street and he told us how to get to his house, so we contacted it one day and they were really receptive. We were teaching his sister and her husband also, but they moved to Asuncion for work, so we were left with just Rodrigo. Other than Rodrigo we are working with this other lady named Dolly that lives with the Branch President's family, she was baptized last year but never got confirmed, so we are trying to get her and her mate, pair, boyfriend, (I really can't think how to say that) married so she can get confirmed and so he can get baptized. We have a few other investigators here and there, but they are progressing the best. Other than that is was a pretty uneventful week. Oh, other than the fact that one of our missionaries in the zone got robbed at knifepoint. They were a couple kids that robbed them and one of the missionaries got stabbed at, but he was wearing his big coat because of the cold and nothing happened. The kids just stole their cell phone and ran off, they didn't take any money or anything else. So other than that it was a normal week, I'm out of time now too, I love you all so much, sorry for the short email, love you, Elder Adamson V
