Week #50

Hello family! 

¿Mba´écheipa?

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes!! :) 20 is actually a number that scares me! I think if I were with you guys then it would sink in a little more! But my birthday this year will pass just like any other day in the mission! :) So I don't feel 20 in the least bit! But thank you so much for your love and your wishes! I cant believe it is 50 weeks! That does shock me! That just means these next 54 weeks I will have to work even harder than I already have! :)

I loved the package! Thank you so  much! A used paperback Spanish Idiom book is perfect! I have really started to study the Guarani grammatics and...its really hard haha. But I am learning! ¿Mba´écheipa? Means how are you?

The adventures of the kids in Apple Annies looked super fun! It reminded me of all the pumpkin patch adventures that Megan and I had! Did you guys get some peaches?! I have seen some of their peaches! They were so huge!! Megan is growing up! Looking at her Senior pictures really slapped me in the face! haha metaphorically speaking! They were beautiful! :)

Because of him was a super good video and caused a couple tears to roll down my cheeks but it really is amazing. We are so blessed!

Well the news about the changes is: I am staying and finishing the training of Elder St! Which is what I wanted! So I cant complain! Elder R would end up leaving to go work in the mission office as the new mail man, so Elder S is now training a new Elder from Peru named Elder R! Elder S left and now the Zone leaders are now in my district! So this will be a new experience!

The L family is doing really good! They came to church and we prepared them all last week the best we could! So today at 5 PM they will have their baptismal interview! We are so excited for them! :) We are so blessed to have people progressing in the Gospel and making changes in their lives!

Funny story time! Elder S and I got prepared to go to a service project in the Friday morning. We got there and it turns out the family wasnt home...so we walked back to our house really bummed not to give Moroni attention. As we were walking home we pass this guy who gets off his motorcycle dressed in a Monster Energy drink shirt walking towards his house. So I decide to stop him and talk to him! We are dressed in our service clothes. I ask him if he likes Monster and he told me he loved it, so I told him I really liked it too! He was super surprised and went off explaining that he rides motorcross and that is where he got this shirt. So I put a Gospel twist on it to tell him who we are and what we do! He was super nice and receptive! Out of nowwhere he asked us if we like fish? So I told him yes, so he then told us to hold on for a second and he ran inside and came back with a bag with 5 good sized fish! Told us to take them and to cook them up! They were cleaned and everything! So that would be our lunch to share with Elder S and Elder R! But It was so awesome! Fish is super expensive here! So it was so genuine! We have to go back and talk to him!

So this week was another scorcher! But as usual filled with blessings! Thank you so much for all your prayers and thoughts :) I love and pray for you always! I will write more next week! :)

Love Always,
Elder Milton
