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. Okay, maybe I am eating the same things over and over again and I just want some chicken tenders, but I am still thriving and living my best Paraguay life. 

I love you all and have fun living in the cold for the next couple months. 
From you favorite,
Elder Ressel

MAN DOWN MAN DOWN!?! HUGE FIRE??? New month, new adventures and new experiences... just love my time as a missionary. It looks like my time might be coming to an end here in Pedro Juan Caballero. Usually we stay in our areas for about 4 transfers(6 months ish) maximum and this was my 4th transfer. We can just say my time here won't be forgotten ever in my life. I have grown to love my savior here more and really got to grow here as a person. From a Spanish and Portugués standpoint, to a spiritual standpoint and to a missionary standpoint. It's crazy to think about how fast time flies by. Had a good week though. Our friend Roman was going to have his marriage and baptism on the 15th of July, but we went through some changes. At first, he wanted to push it back so that they could have more money, but he had a change of heart and wanted to do it earlier. For a missionary, that's music to the ears. I was like yeah, say less. So now the plan is to have the marriage and the bapti...

I GUESS MY TIME WASNT UP?!? So Monday rolls around and my mission president is hyped because we had 148 baptisms in the month of June. The highest amount in 10 years in South America South. So we went and had a huge lunch as an office. I jumped in the front seat of Presidents car and we drove off. After talking for a bit he tells me, "Hey Elder Ressel. You gotta go back to Concepcion to train an Elder." So... took that 7 hour bus ride again. Who knew that I was going to go back, and I am finishing the mission here. I am training a Paraguayo. It is pretty sick. Dude is tall like 6'5. And we are basically new to this area, so we just walk around talking to members and finding people to teach. What a dream come true. In the program back in the office we had 15 baptisms in June. Highest amount in any month ever in the mission. What a success that has been for the mission. Played basketball with my president in the morning and he killed me. See you guys really soon... From you...

THE START OF THE END!?! This was our last week before transfers. We started preparing things for transfer week and getting ready for our leadership training conference that we have this week. I will have to give an update on all the things we have done and accomplished for the month of May. Which from what I have heard and seen. We have accomplished a ton.  To be honest the program was supposed to end last week. My mission president is going to tell me if we will continue going forward with it or not. However, I got a text from the Provo MTC that they want me to explain how I have been running the program over here and use this excel sheet that I made to track and contact the referrals. As my wise Mission President said, ´´We have won.´´ We have a senior mission couple here and they really like to treat us well. One of the office Elders will leave this week, so the senior couple took us all out to eat. We went to this super fancy Korean restaurant and I ate this...
