3. How is your Military investigator? Has the Paraguayian uprising in their Presidency caused any rules to be changed for the missionaries? Do you have to be in earlier in the evening? Do you feel safe? Can you feel military presence in the streets?
We haven´t been able to get back over there.. He did tell us that if we keep coming back, the only book we´ll be using is the Bible.. Yeah right! I love mondern-day revelation :P
It´s really chill here, there hasnt been any uprises or anything. I feel safe, nothings gonna happen to us! We´re protected by angels.

8. What has been your most trying experience this past week?
The cold weather. I don´t know if thats the reason people don´t let us in, or if its because they think we´re spies and they´re scared of us.. Seriously, we talk to so many people who think we´re spies! WHAT IS THERE TO SPY ON IN THIS COUNTRY?! People here watch too many movies.. They think all Americans are rich and live in mansions. They don´t believe it when we tell them that there´s poverty in our country too.. But yeah, I think just being turned away. We´re going to change that though. We´re going to get into every house this week!

9. What is something you learned and grew from this past week?
I love getting to know people.. Before, I was just kind of a people-watcher, I loved watching people and how they hold themselves.. But I love getting to know people because you learn things about them that you never would have guessed. Then you teach them the Gospel! Seriously, the Gospel is for everyone.. It doesn´t matter who you are, where you´re from, or what you do.. You can benefit from living the Gospel.

10. Are you keeping warm in your area?
Yeah.. Its FREEZING in the morning though! And in the night. I think the only thing missing is snow.. So yeah, I think the cold finally hit. Burr!
So yeah there´s the week! I´m proud of my shoes (Hush Puppies).. They´re holding up like champs! So I always make it known that these shoes are awesome. So the other night, Elder Whaley and I were walking, and I had the walking farts.. You know, they just keep coming out, there´s no stopping it.. And Elder Whaley says to me, "Those Hush Puppies aren´t very quiet..." Hahahaha.. It was a funny joke, Good one Elder :)
We have our new mission president, President Agazzani! He seems like a really awesome guy! I haven´t met him yet, but we just got his first weekly letter and he just sounds like a stud! He and his family are way excited to be here, I know all the Elders and Hermanas are excited too!
I love being a missionary, I´ve learned a TON! I don´t have any regrets.
I love you all and hope you have an awesome week!
