Happy Mother's Day

Hey Everyone,

I hope everyone had a good week this week and a Happy Mothers day to all the moms. Here in Santa Rosa we had plenty of work to do. Missionary work is a little different out here. We live in a little city that is about 8 blocks big and to get to any houses where we will have success we have to either walk out about 2 hours in either direction, or we have to get a ride with one of the couple members that have cars. But the other thing is that most of the people that are actually interested in the church only speak Guarani. While I have made it a goal to learn the language, it is rather diffcult becasue it was never actually a written language until Europeans came in a tried to record it. Well as a result there are not really a ton of books to even learn it and no one really reads Guarani. So it makes it a little difficult to figure it out. But we keep on doing our best. I just feel bad trying to communicate with some of the truly indigenous people here.

This week we were blessed with some good new investigators which is nice to start out these next 6 weeks. We should be able to see some people progressing which is nice since we had kind of a drought these past couple of weeks. But I love Santa Rosa. I found out ywesterday that I will be staying in Santa Rosa wth Elder Taylor for 6 more weeks. Now the big quesstion is if he will stay one more change to finish his mission here or if he will get a new area for his last 3 weeks.

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...
