1 Change Down

Hey Everyone,

Well I made it through my first change in Paraguay. I have 6 more weeks of training with my companion and then I will be expected to be able to get around this country by myself. This week wasn't particularly exciting but we did have a lesson this week with a lady named Raquel. We were teaching her the Plan of Salvation and the lesson was so good. We taught her that after this life there is another life where we can live with our families forever as long as we stay on the right path and contine to do what is right. At the end of the lesson we asked her to pray and explained how to do it. During the prayer she started crying. A lot. And afterwards she told us that she knew God was listening to her prayer and that she could receive and answer. 

It was such a grat experience to be able to help her understand her purpose in this life and how she can find happiness. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a missionary and be able to share my testimony woth those who are looking for the truth. I am so grateful for this wonderful gospel and all the support I have at home.

Love,
Elder Seibert

Oh and pretty much all my pictures are of animals this week. I promise we interact with people too. (Oh and the last one we found while we were cleaning the baptismal font)

Hey Everyone, I hope you all had a good week. Down here in Paraguay things are going well. I am loving my new area and, and my companion Elder Castro has a ton of energy, so we are gonna kill it. It has been beyond HOT this past week, like almost 110 with humidity. But we are still out everyday trying to teach people about Jesus Christ. Maybe this will sound obvious to all of you, but I have been thinking about how important it is to share this message we have with everyone we know. The gospel of Jesus Christ and all that he did for us is so important. I am so grateful for the knowledge that I have about Jesus, about his plan for me and how I can be like him. As I try harder and harder each day to be like my Savior I can see that it is not easy. He never had it easy as long as he lived and as long as I am trying to be like him it will never get easier. I am so happy to be here in Paraguay and serving the people who live here. Love, Elder Seibert Pics: me saying goodby...
