Rohayhu


Cesar's baptism

Me rocking out on the piano at ward night!


well ya gotta love writing bit long paragraphs and then having them disappear thats always fun. anyway changes are next week and i have a feeling elder brown is gone because he has 7 months in the che piribebuy. so that means ill be taking command ha. a little about cesar. his mom gives him 10 mil which is about 2 dollars u.s to last him for about 4 days. he doesnt go to school because he doesnt want to and all he does is watches tv and eats imponadas and cocacola ask rush what that is ha. his mom is a... let me think of a kind but harsh word shes more of a bruja. hes a good kid though. also this week while i was finishing up reading in the book of mormon and just about to say my prayers before i went to bed someone pounds on our door. i almost pee-d my pants. elder brown was out like a light so i grabbed our machety and opened the door to find a drunk looking for a girl named daisy. i almost chopped his head off. there are soooooo many drunks here its ridiculous i have no idea where they get the money because they dont work and they live in card board boxes. also this past week was childrens day so happy childrens day children. alos i cant remember if i said happy bday to you dad but i thought i did sorry im a terrible son if not happy birthday. onbe more story because my time is just about up. elder brown got brownies from his mom and i told him i knew how to make them so i made them and ended up burming the living day lights out of them i thoughjt i was pretty funny but i was the only one laughing. he forgave me after a few days ha just kidding he laughed to also his name is chase brown not jeff different missionary. the whole camera stuff dont worry about iv got two chips and piribebuy is a pretty safe town just alot of drunks. hope all is well im going to try and send pics for the millionth time. love you all! para siempre dios este con vos elder burr

Elder "Burro"

-what up!! Hows everyone doing? I am doing great and so is Piribebuy! First 
things first this is for Courtney and her roll in with the police hahaha 
what were you thinking haha i was Laughing so hard when i read about what 
happened looks like you never learned your lesson when you were younger haha 
i have probably heard that song ryan was singing because all they play here 
is sean paul pitbull Daddy yankee and adventura. That was such a funny story 
though almost as funny as when you fell in the kitchen haha ok enough 
ragging on Courtney. This week as pretty well we've been teaching a man named 
santiago who has been talking with the missionaries for 3 years now and no 
one has been able to get him baptized. This week we had him Ready and he 
wanted to and ya he decided not to show up to the church. Funny thing is hes 
not the first that has done that we had a 14 year old girl and her brother 
do the same so that as a bummer but it will all work out ive got the faith to 
move a mountain. This past Thursday was friendo day by the way so happy late 
friendo day everyone. For some reason they have like a million holidays here 
like water day? The man miguel who baptized last week is the coolest kid by 
the way i didnt have much time to email about him but this past week he has 
been going around with us to share his testimony to our investigators. I 
have never felt the spirit so strong before he is on fire right now. He told 
us he really wants to serve a mission hes 23 right now. Sorry if there are 
random words that i spelt this computer sometimes decides to just through in 
guarni when it wants. Also the pictures i send you will you save them because 
i have no idea when ill ever have time to develope them or ever find a 
place to develope them because there is nothing here! The other week we had my 
second zone conference and the assistance called elder brown and i to see if 
i would play a special number. You ill never guess what song i played haha 
yep you guessed it my farewell song, sister wade started crying after and 
she told me to tell you thank you so much for sending that music to me to 
play she said you were inspired. Also another quick funny thing is this 
morning i was cleaning up around the house and i was putting away my baptism 
pants and on the tag you had written hi jacob haha it made me laugh and made 
me pretty happy. Well i gotta run there is never time! I love you all here is 
pic or two. Also the people here still think it is hilarious to call me 
elder burro and the food is either really good or nasty and the spanish is 
going well but the guarni is mas o menos para siempre dios este con vos
Elder burro

pretty good week though we had a baptism sunday his name is cesar a 13 year 
old boy who lives by himself yes i said by himself his mom comes once a week 
from asuncion to drop off money for 10 min and then just leaves. its 
super sad but he is the happiest kid. he loves the missionaries and he wants 
to go on a mission. elder brown and i were talking and we could totally see 
him as a seventy speaking in conference he will be an awesome member now and 
in the future. not much else going on here i hope everyone is doing great i

The trophy will be mine 2011!

What up fam! Well sounds like you all had a good time at the cabin i hope Jared enjoyed winning because when i get back i will be taking the trophy every year haha. Thank you for all the pictures unfortunately i have no time to open any of them and look at them because the computers here take about 3 min to open each one and i only have an hour to read every ones emails and write you and pres wade so please don't send pics just send them in the mail or something because i have no time on here and also don't send multiple emails unless its an emergency, because it also takes forever to open emails and ya that's just more time. Its pretty frustrating because i hating using computers and it doesn't helped when you use windows 95 computers in Paraguay . you think I'm joking nut I'm not. Also when you send a letter in the mail put it in an envelope, i got a letter from you today and it was ripped in half and the other peace is probable in Argentina or something but ya use envelopes and also I'm not allowed to talked back and forth through email and even if i wanted to you would never get it in time. Sorry about all this computer junk i hate it but i am in Paraguay what can you do. For pday today we went to the confederation of futbol i guess there are only 2 or 3 in the World it just has a bunch of World tropeƩis and staff it was pretty insane! My favorite part was seeing carpet for the first time in a while i cant wait to get home and be able to walk bare foot not with sandals, anyway everything is going great i miss you all a bunch and hope everyone is doing great again i don't have much time like usual I'm sorry next week i will try and find more time this mission is insane there is never anytime and when i say that I'm not exaggerating we really have no time at all. Ill try and said a few pictures i love you all elder burr para siempre dios este con vos! Never mind good old Paraguay wont let me send pictures today and its slower than ever at sending staff next week we are going to try a different place. One more thing when you email me please do it before Monday morning it has to relieve like all the email in one day its a joke. I love you all lata!
