Week 88 in Paraguay Change 15 Week 3

How is everyone doing? So, first of all, update on the Copa America, the final was yesterday, Paraguay vs Uruguay, Paraguay lost 3-0, seems like it was a pretty big blowout, Paraguay can't complain though because they technically didn't win a single game and they still made it to the final. They tied all three games in the qualifiers and then won the two playoff games in shootout, and then lost 3-0 in the final. We heard today though that the Paraguayan goalie got the MVP award for the Cup, in the two shootouts he blocked 3 of the shots, which is actually really impressive, I think it was just for that though that he got the award.

The meetings with President went great, it was just a training meeting on the 8 funamental principles that they have been implementing over the past year, it was a really nice meeting. I really liked how they set it up, President split all the missionaries into workshops with his wife, the two asistants, and himself. It turned out really well and we have been trying to apply more things in our teaching and it's really helping out. As for the division with the Asistants, it didn't happen, we had a little bit of miscommunication, they really just wanted to do splits with us until their bus left and their bus ended up leaving right after all the meetings, so we didn't work with them. Things in the Rama are really changing though for the better, we are in the Concepción District and they just barely got a new District President, he heard about some of the problems in the Branch and came on Sunday to clean a few things up, he went on a division with us Saturday and had a bunch of interviews on Sunday to show our Branch President some things and to get some new callings, we now have a new Elder's Quorum President and a Ward Mission Leader, so we are going to be working a lot with them to try and get things moving well here. Yesterday we had an investigator in church that Cintia brought to church, I don't know if I told you about Cintia yet, if I haven't, sorry, there isn't enough time, but she brought someone to church yesterday and we went to her house after and invited her to get baptized on the 13th and she accepted. Hopefully everything goes well there, she is a pretty smart girl, which is nice, and she understands what we are teaching her, so I think everything will go well and she'll get baptized, it will be nice to get another baptism after having gone so long here without one. Anyway, I'm already out of time, I love you all so much, I hope everything is going great back home, Elder Adamson V
