I knew everyone back home would be so impressed!

One of the many Catholic churches in Paraguay

What up family! And everyone else that receives these great letters from the greatest place on earth! Sorry about resending the emails i am a little blonde when it comes to the type writer out here in paraguay. Im glad court and ryan enjoyed the Picture of my girl renildia and her mink coat haha she is the funniest old lady. When you say a prayer she says it back to you haha.it was awesome hearing from everyone that made me way happy. Its super hard to mail everyone because i can only email for an hour. I will write everyone back that emailed you should probably get those by next year some time. Anywho it is so cold here and for some reason it is nice and hot here and we leave our house and it just starts raining like crazy! Also this computer is straight crap so if it says different words just try and understand what i am saying because ya its paraguayin but its cool. I am emailing super early right now because in a few hours were going to the expo!! Whoo its pretty much the state fair haha its going to be a good time. I guess we have to wear masks because the flu is getting really bad down here and people are dying and for some reason when someone dies everyone goes and hangs out at the persons house each day for a month and just stares at like a picture of christ. I call them sit and stares so when we contact and no one is home we just decide they are out drunk or at a sit and stare. That story about brother andes made me laugh about giving up soda haha the people down here are going crazy because they like saw this dumb comercial about how if you find so many of these soda caps you will get all this Money so the people always tell me to drink more soda haha they get upset when i tell them i dont drink soda its pretty funny. The other day i cut this big old tree down with a mashety or however you spell it. Actually this guy named miguel did but i finished it off with a good yell of timber and then i pushed it down and took out their clothes line on accident haha the other night our lights and our water went out which sucked pretty bad and our house like flooded. We move into the house above us this week. Also the man alimpio who said he prayed for two messengers is getting baptized this Sunday. We have two other men lined up but they both are having alot of doubts so its hard but they hopefully will come through. The other day one of the members was watching survivor man haha i was so excited but then we had to leave and i had seen that episode anyway haha also i heard the song i saw the sign which was pretty random. How is everything back at home? Tell justin craig hensly is probably his best bet for an attorney. I told you one day we´d look back on that and laugh haha at least i think you guys are laughing haha. Not much else going on here i love it but at the same time i get really homesick i am doing better though. I am already coming up on my first change and im hoping i dont get changed or get a different comp but i have a feeling i will because he has been here almost 6 months. We do alot of walking here alimpio lives about a half hour bus ride from us and we had to walk a few hours home from his house the other day. All of the hard times and pain are so worth it though. About the whole food thing i would love to say i know what i am eating but i have no idea its usually pretty gross and when we go out to this more poor area they feed us like bloody soup with just bits of fat its pretty nasty but i just eat it. The other day there was a snake at a members house and we killed it with a mashety haha it was pretty cool they kept calling the snake satanas haha here are a few pictures i love you all and miss you all! Deuces! Love elder Jacob julious burr
