QUESTIONS:
1. What was your most memorable experience this week?
We had Rap Battle Friday and I was the only person to write a rap.. And since our area was split and there´s 4 missionaries now, Elder Johnson and I have a brand new phone and not everyone has our number! So we did a prank call, inviting a Elder Kesler and Elder Hardy over to "eat pizza.." Then I busted out my rap and they knew it was us.. Elder Hardy said he took piano lessons from Vaghn Christensen! Cool huh!

2. How is your dog bite? Was is pretty painful when it happened? How is it feeling now?

3. Have you found any new investgators in your new area this past week?
Yeah, that´s one thing I love about this area! We´re always finding news! There were a lot of weeks in my last area where we didnt find any new investigators. But we find a lot of new people to teach every week! I love it. We´re just getting more people lined up for baptism!

5. How was church for you this week?
It was good! 4 people got confirmed yesterday! :D There are a lot of people that don´t have their member records, so we´re going to be doing a lot of re-baptizing. I got to baptize 2 people on Saturday! Its been like 7 months! One guy that got baptized was an investigator of Elder Althoff and Elder Lumpkin, but he said he wanted "Elder Guapo" to baptize him.. Thats me :D They asked what Heiner means in Spanish, but it doesn´t mean anything.. But Elder Lumpkin told them it means "guapo". And now thats what they call me.
Thats cool that Clint had a dream and I was there! People always see the pictures from my farewell and he´s in them. Hows he doing? The last time I saw him was the night before Zach went into the MTC.
So yeah, lifes pretty good here in Ypané! I stinkin love this place! President Agazzani and his wife came out to church yesterday to get the members excited about our goal of 200 people in church. Elder Johnson asked him to come last week in his letter to President, and he came! It was so cool! We asked him a lot of questions and we changed the limits of our area a little bit.. Like between Ypané 1.1 and 1.2- we have more city in our area now! Before it was all the country part! Its like a bigger version of Melba.. It has a little city and lots of country. Its a lot bigger than Melba though.
We were walking down the street and saw a Mercedez-Benz coup from the early 2000´s and Elder Johnson and I were thinking it was a fake one from Brazil.. We were staring at the car as we walked by and the driver was looking at us and yelled, in English, "Hey are you guys Americans?!" You betta believe it playa! So we went and started talking to him.. He was born and raised in New York and is down here visiting his family! He´s 18 years old and his name´s Joseph. But he´s 100% Paraguay-blooded. So it was cool to talk to him in English for a little bit. It´s actually really weird to talk to people in English here who aren´t other missionaries. There´s a lot of foreign exchanged students here from the States, Belgium, and other countries and they all speak English! Its pretty cool, but I´ve only met the 2 kids from Belgium.
We had a fun week! I don´t have any of the pictures from the baptism on my camera, but I´ll hopefully have them from Elder Lumpkin before next week! I think we have some other baptisms coming up too, so I´ll keep you posted!
Have a great week! I love you!!
