DON'T LET THE BED BUGS BITE!??


Yeahhhh, so we found bed bugs we believe in my companions bed. Right when we were about to go to bed, my comp says, " Why are there so many bugs on the wall. Sure enough we looked under his mattress and found so many bed bugs. It was super nasty. We were up until 11 killing these things. Blessed that I didnt have them in my bed.


I got to watch encanto in Spanish on Wednesday. It's pretty cool watching these Disney movies in Spanish and understanding.


We found a family this week that has some interest in the church. We are for sure going to pass by and see what we can do.


My companion and I were talking to this one guy on the street and we got his number so that we could pass by again. My comp ended up leaving his phone on the bench and someone took it. So we tired searching for it, but it was for nothing.


Another than that I don't got a ton for this week. I will put a picture of the bed bugs.


Love you all,

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...

"YOU HAVE THE CALIFORNIA LEAD BACKNESS TO YOU?!?” The weeks really are just flying by here. It is one of those surreal feelings that weeks really do go by super fast. However, this week was a good week. Being here in the office, one of the down sides about it is that you see and here are the problems in the mission. Lots of people go home early. We had an Elder go home early and dang, one of the saddest things that I have been a part of. He will come back though and serve in the way the Lord needs him. I had Interviews with my Mission President last week. I have been studying a lot about Christlike attributes and I ask my Mission President, "How can we seek and receive Christlike attributes?" He further explained some really insightful things and then he tells me, "you have that California lead backness to you Elder Ressel." All I could do was laugh and think how everyone tells me that. I also got to talk with his wife for about 30 minutes about the mission and...
