Another Week in Paraguay

Hey everyone,

Well this week was super good. I mean most weeks are pretty good as a missionary but this week was a little better. We met some new investigators that are definitely going to progress and already have pieces of a testimony. Also, Jorge and Teresa, the Brazilian woman I talked about last week, said they want to keep following what we are teaching. It is going to be a process though because we have to get them married (basically no one in Paraguay is married), and they both smoke a lot and drink as well. But I have faith and I know they do too. Keep them in your prayers.

Also on Sunday I had a busy Sunday. At church I play the keyboard every week for sacrament meeting, I also had to give a talk and teach the youth during second hour. Then after church we had a baptism for Carolina! It was a super cool experience despite it kind of being a super busy and stressful day. She asked me to do the baptism which was probably the coolest think I could have asked for for my birthday. The whole experience was so great, sometimes missionary work is super rewarding. Most days it doesnt feel like anything is getting done, but little by little we are building the kingdom of God.

Love
Elder Seibert

Sorry, baptismal pics to come next week. They are on my companions camera

Ill explain the last picture, it is what my branch president is in charge of. He is the contractor (doesnt actually do the work, but supervises) that does empedrados or putting rocks on the ground to make a street. Basically the worst job in the hottest country in the world. It was like 95 degrees and 5 in the evening when I took this picture. Its winter time.

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...
