Che Aikuaa Hesukristo Hae`ha Ñandejàra Ra`y

Well almsot 6 months of being in the interior of Paraguay and I still am not positive if that subject line is right. But its defintieyl close.

I hope everyone had a good week this week. Here in Paraguay we had another pretty good week. Lots of visits and lots of work for us to do. We have 2 couples that we are teaching that want to get baptized but need to get married first. Also one of the couples smokes so we have that to work with as well. They have good desires though so we really dont want to lose them.

Apart from them we have some other really good investigators, some part member families that we should be seeing some baptisms from as well. Lots of good things waiting for Santa Rosa, the problem is that things are slow in Paraguay. No one is ever in a rush here so it takes a lot of pushing from the missionaries to get anything done, ehether it is on the inside of the church or trying to bring people into the church. Not a big deal just part of my reality.

The big news this week is that Rafael got baptized. He is 14 years old and both his parents died a few years ago. He is a super cool kid and when he got up to bear his testimony after the baptisms it was the most tougching thing I have seen since I got here. I could tell that he really felt something different. Something stringer than he had felt before. Made me cry, I am becoming a softie out here.

Love you all,

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...
