Noah's Mission

LO SIENTO HERMANO, NO TENGO PLATA!?! Andddddd another week down here in Paraguay. I could you not these weeks go by so fast.  I only got one funny story this week for you guys. After we had our district council, we all went out for my favorite meal... chicken and rice. When I was waiting in line to order, this dude just grabbed me by the arm and went, "yo necesito plata, usted tiene plata?" yo dije ,"lo siento hermano, no tengo plata." However, I was cleary about to buy food. He just kept smacking me on the arm, grabbing me trying to convince me to give him money. Eventually, he left and started kissing the sisters hands and sat right next to them when we were eating. So, I switched seats with them and I started to get smacked again. Another day here. One day we had lunch with a family in our ward and their door is like 5 feet and I completely smacked the heck out of my head. The sister made me smack water on my head "to stop the swelling." I have the priv...

MY CHRISTMAS IN PARAGUAY!?! JUST THE START! CHRISTMASSSSS TIME BABYYYYY! EVEN THOUGH IT IS 100 DEGREESSSSS! How is it going my friends? Another week, more stories.  I am not going to lie, this week was so hot. Like over 100 and humid. You are going to hear me complain about the weather probably every week. However, you all know what that means...bucket hat season. Yeahhhh I brought out the bucket hat. Now, everyone will notice me walking on the street. Hey y'all, Christmas is coming up soon. It is really weird though because 1. it is hot as heck and 2. Christmas from what I can see so far, is not that huge or the people here don't like putting up lights or anything like that. So, I took matters into my own hands and bought me some Christmas lights. I thought they were going to be longer...next P-day I will have to buy more. Talked to some funny drunk people yesterday and one of them asked if we spoke Guarani. We do not speak Guarani, but I do know a couple words...

THE PINEAPPLE JUICE GOT ME?!? I have been so good since I got here on not getting sick or eating something that has messed me up. However, yesterday this family gave us this really good pineapple juice, but it messed up my stomach. It felt like the inside of my stomach was having a war. Out of all the things to get me...pineapple juice? Que loco. I don't even have to say it, because you guys already know I am back from the jungle. This week was more of a chill, relaxing week. Honestly, this was a needed week.  Stayed inside all day on Wednesday because they had to take a population count or something. It was weird, so I just did a lot of studying and tried to become fluent in Spanish. To say the least, I am still not fluent. However, estoy aprendiendo.  Had a sick baptism on friday from some other missionaries in our area. It was great to see the joy on the faces of the people who were baptised. After, I had some fire cake that a member in the ward made. I asked her ...

WALKED 15 MILES FOR ZERO LESSONS?!? Guys... my feet are going to burn off by the time my mission is over. I have never walked so much in my life. What is going on everyone? How is everyone doing? I hope everyone had a fun halloween and saved me some Reese´s take 5s. To be honest with you all, this was a week where I walked and walked and walked and had zero success. We had a day where all of our lessons got canceled and we had no idea what to do. It was toughhhhh. While you guys are going colder, it is getting hotter and hotter by the day. We are getting constantly in the 100s and it is so hot. Still though, the nights are super awesome here and watching the sunset in the Jungle is super sick. We got new missionaries this week, and is it crazy to think that I was just like them almost 2 months ago. I am not the baby no more. Let's go. That is literally all I got for you guys. Lo siento for such a boring email, but hey guys look on the bright side of things, I am not dead....
