Paraguay Ascunción Mission...Now I call it home. : Birthday Celebration

Hey Everyone,

I sure hope Dad is having a great birthday today. I just sent him his birthday email and hope he likes it. Thanks Mom for the reminders. I did remember Dad's today but I am sure I will forget someone else's.

My birthday was good. I didn't end up getting your package yet (UGH!! It's been sitting at the mission home for 2 weeks now!) but hopefully this week I will...who knows.

I did get to do something fun for my birthday. My companion tricked me outside at 6:30 in the morning on my birthday and dumped water on me. :) Later we went for lunch at a members house. His name is Gustavo Nunez and he served us chicken, steak and churizo. He also made me a cake and sang Happy Birthday in Guarni. After that we just had a normal day.

Last week was pretty rough. We just got rejected a lot more than usual but this week we have done well. Things are going to be good. I will be leaving Yaguarón on the 25th of March. I am sad to leave. I will be leaving behind a lot of people I have grown to love and will be missing 2 marriages and 3 baptisms. I will be getting a new companion as well. Changes are hard. I like it here but it will be nice to get to know another part of Paraguay.

The zone conference was good. We learned a lot and they changed a couple of things and added some more rules, as if we didn't already have enough. hahaha While we were there we got to watch a movie called Meet the Mormons. I guess it is going to be in theaters and so that was cool. I think we saw it before anyone else. It was a good movie. (Do I dare tell him it has already been in theaters here and is already on DVD ;)) My zone sang la luz de la verdad. Not exactly what that would mean in English but it was awesome and I have to say we sounded pretty good.

Thanks for letting me know about Chase (his cousin) I will definitely keep him in my prayers and will write him and let him know how much I love him.

Love you all and hope you have a great week.
