Hey Everyone, Well this week was fun. We were able to find a lit of new investigators and we also had splits with the Zone Leaders. I spent the day with elder Trejo from Arizona in his area. We had a lot of fun working and I was able to meet some cool people. I learned a lot from him too. He is a great missionary. I am not going to lie, these past few weeks had been pretty rough as far as missionary work goes. We had been trying to talk to everyone, but people just don't really seem interested. However this week we were finally able to get some good referrals and we found some potential from street contacting. Sometimes the hard work pays off. I am so glad for the blessings that we received this week. Love, Elder Seibert Pictures of my apartment here in beautiful Concepcion Paraguay Also we knocked some coconuts out of a tree, and we made some chipa this week

Hey All, I hope everyone had a good week! Here in Concepción things have been going well. Yesterday we had Zone Conference so we have P-Day on Tuesday. Really not too much to report, but we are having fun and we are doing well. I have pictures this week so you can all just look at those. Love, Elder Seibert

Hey everyone, Not a lot of time today, I was talking to my dad for a while since he just got back from his treatment. He is doing well. Anyway, this week was pretty normal. Kind of difficult in finding our investigators and trying to get new people to teach. But we are doing well, no major problems. Love, Elder Seibert

Hey everyone, This week was really good. It started off with a trip back from Asuncion with my new companion elder Vincent, from Holladay SLC Utah. he is brand new and I am very excited to be training a new missionary for the second time. Unfortunately our trip back here from Concepción was less than relaxing. We left at 1130pm from Asuncion and arrived back here in Concepción at 730am on Wednesday morning. We were both wiped out, and I didn't want to make my companion hate his life, but we had some visits planned that we couldn't miss. I definitely felt bad but there wasn't anything I could do. The rest of the week was good though. We have gotten a lot of work done, and we are moving forward to find new people to teach, we are still in a bit of a slump, but I cant complain. We keep marching on. I am short in time otherwise I would try to write a little more, sorry! Love, Elder Seibert

Elder Seibert, President Judd has received notification that you will be returning from your mission on July 11 th . He has asked me to schedule your release interview at 645 that evening at the Stake Center.  President Judd would like to meet with you and your immediate family in your mission release interview. These interviews typically include some time with you, the missionary and President Judd; followed by some time with available immediate family members. During the personal interview, President Judd will be reviewing My Plan which should be provided to you in your mission, typically sometime in the last 4-6 weeks of your mission. Ideally, you will have this document for review and preparation prior to your return. If you are unable to obtain a copy I can email a PDF to you, just let me know. That same evening, we would like you to report your mission to the High Council at approximately 745 pm. Please plan on taking up to 15 minutes in that meeting where you are en...

Hey everyone, Hope you all are doing well. I wish I had a little more time but today I have to go to Asuncion to pick up my new companion. I guess the big news this week is that I will be training for my last 12 weeks of my mission. I will be headed down a little later today and tomorrow I will know who my new companion is. I am very excited to be training and cant wait to see whats in store for me. Love, Elder Seibert

Hey Everyone, This week was great. We met a few new investigators who have some real potential. This family, the matriarch is named Ramona, and her kids and maybe some grand kids are listening to our message now. They have talked to the missionaries before and have friends in the church. Now I am not sure that everyone in the family will progress, but there are a couple members that definitely have potential. Her daughter Daisy and a couple of other teens who were around seemed to really enjoy what we were saying. We still don't know a ton about them, but we have a lot of hope. Also, as many of you know this weekend was the General Conference for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That means we got a spiritual weekend, listening to a Prophet of God, Russell M. Nelson, and his 12 apostles. They have such inspiring messages and I really do love to hear from them. It always makes me feel so good to hear their messages. In case you missed it: https://www.lds...
