Elder Milton is still alive after a crazy two weeks! Needless to say last week was hardly a P Day! I will give the short verison! HOLY MOLY last week was a crazy week! I went all around the world it felt like! Well long story short: We had a service project in the morning helping a member fix his car, and when I say we I mean my companion because I dont know anything! Then we rode a bus to Luque to help this family carry their food from the Bishops Storehouse. Luque is about 1.5 hours away, so when we finally arrived back in Salado it was 1:00, then we went to the office in the captital which is another hour and a half bus ride. We went to the office to help Ch. find some slacks that other missionaries left behind. So we ate lunch in Asuncion and went to the office and we finished all of that by 5. Well we waited for a bus back to Salado for 2 hours! So we arrived home really wait and didnt even have time to work :( or email!
Anyways, Congrats to Megan on her state performance and being asked to prom! That will be fun with Shane! Also I am glad that you recieved the package and letters! Inside the package only mom and Mike can see!
Happy Easter also! I havent spent a bunch of time reading the emails from the last two weeks so I am going to just sum up my last couple weeks. Well Elder G. and I have been working hard! And we have had a bunch of opportunites to serve which is alway my favorite! But the highlight this week was the baptism of R., V., and L.! It was set for Saturday night, but there was a crazy lighting storm and the power went out at the church :( so we postponed for Easter! We did this so they could be confirmed right away after :) Well it was a great service! There were a lot of members able to attend. I had the opportunity to baptize cute little L. and also confirm her! Well she was really excited but really nervous because there was a lot of people so I entered the font first and it was freezing cold! I told her I was sorry and she didnt understand why...until she too stepped into the ice cold water! Haha it was really cute she was shivering! Luckily I only had to dunk her once, she is really short so it was easy! So this was the highlight of the week! It was a huge blessing!
Also tomorrow I will have the chance to attend the temple! My first time here and I am excited, the mission only goes one time a year in April, so I am going to make the most of it! I am really excited!
Everything with my companions is going well! It is really good practice for my spanish living with 3 other latinos! They help me a bunch! I try to help them as best as I can with English. It is hard to learn English I have realized. You cant just have a desire, you have to work hard! English is hard in the aspect of the pronounciations. My poor companions cannot make the L sound in Milton so I get called Mitton a lot of the time. They also have a hard time making the R sound like Barn. But we are practicing! They need alot! But so do I so it is very mutual!
Well I hope this letter finds everyone is good spirits! I am very filled with joy. The baptism was a huge blessing from the Lord. We have been working hard so he was more or less forced to bless us haha. But I love you guys and once again I am sorry I missed you last week! You are in my prayers! :)
Love Elder Milton
P.S. I got your package! Thank you so much! I jump rope everyday! It is exactly what I wanted! Thank you for everything!
