Maybe This Week Will Be Better

Hey All,

This week was challenging. We have been working with a small pool of investigators and been spending too much tome walking around in the sun. However, yesterday at church we got 2 super good refences we need to contact this week as well and a kid in our ward brought a friend who is interested in learning more to church. So we got three investigators handed to us. A small miracle becasue we havent been very successful these past couple of weeks.

Christams season is starting here and people are starting to put up their fake pine trees everywhere and lights in the mango trees. Definitely different but I love it. They all think it is funny that snow is a thing around Christmas time. They see it in the movies, but here we are headed in the hottest part of the year in what I am convinced is the hottest country in the world. Humidity included.

Anyway, things are going well. I really love everything about this place other than the climate. The people are incredible, super nice, super funny, and super humble. Every day I realize how lucky I m to have wat I have. Everyday it is something else that strikes me, One of thh kids in my ward was talking to me and said, "You probably get like 5 or 6 presents for Christmas, Chu-Chi" (Chu-Chi is what they call people here that live high class, or just about any American. Not offfensive, just makes you feel bad.) I didn't really know how to respond to that. That kids mom told me if either of my parents like spending their money, they can spend it them. They would be happy to have some extra income, haha. I should say though that I have spent a lot of time convinvcing people that I am not  chu chi. Paraguayans dont like it if it is obvious you have a lot of money.

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...
