Hay Ranas in la Capilla

Hey Everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well. This week we had a lot of work and we were very busy teaching lessons. There are a lot of part member families here that want to come back to church and have kids that need to be baptized. We spend a lot of time teaching the families togother which is really nice. 

This week was also great becasue of General Conference, espècially becasue I got to watch it in English! I just wanted to share one thought that I had while watching it. Elder Andersen shared a quote from Elder Hales talk that he preparedbefore he died. Part of it said, "When we have faith, we are prepared to bein the presence of God." I like it becasue it is so simple, sometimes we make the gospel too complicated. That doesnt mean we dont have to do anything though, becasue the scriptures say that faith without works is dead, so we have to be active with our faith for it to be valid. Anyway, I just thought that I would share that.

One funny thing that happened this week wasright after conference it started raining like crazy, unbelievably hard and a frog about the size of both my hands jumped into the chapel and some people freaked out, but one of the eldersjust grabbed it and took some pictures with it andthen threw it oustside. Anyway, everything is going well down here!

Love,
Elder Seibert

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...
