Crazy in Concepción

Hey Everyone,

Well this week was fun. We had spplits with our Zone leaders and with the Elders from San Pedro. It was tons of fun. Having splits out here is cool becasue it means sleepovers and weird hours. WE also got to go to Concepcion yesterday for a few hours after church for a priesthood training meeting. On the way back I was in this bus that we rented and met this guy from another branch who actually spoke English. He learned on hs mission becasue he worked in the mission office in Argentina with 5 white guys. He was a pretty cool guy.

We have a super good teaching pool and a TON of investigators who come to church with some regularity. The problem lately has been getting them to commit to baptism. We are doing eveything we can, and I think we will see the fruuits of all of our work soon, but maybe not as soon as we would lke. Everyone has their own time.

Something funny that happend this week was that we were eating some hamburgers with some members and my comp found a fly in his. (Side note, that is totally normal and you cant complain about that here or they will just laugh at you) Anyway, my comp pulled it out and a lttle bit of the meat around it so he could continue eating. The member who we were with was like, "you arent going to let that go to waste are you" he was clearly half joking but then he didnt think he would actually eat the little piece of meat so he picked it up and ate it. Then he picked up the fly and ate that too. It was pretty funny.

Anyway, the work is good here. I love this area and my mission.

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...
