New People, Places and Food

I'm doing really well. I really wish I could send you pictures of the stuff I have seen so far, but for some reason when I plug in my camera to the computer it freaks out. Nonetheless, I'm doing good, Spanish is getting a lot better and this week I taught a lot more in the lessons, and I'm starting to understand a lot more of the fast-speaking Paraguayans. 

My companion and I hang out with the kids a lot, I have been teaching them a little English and helping them with their math homework. The members are very nice too. We have had a lot of great meals from them and some interesting ones too. The empanadas they have here are awesome. One of our investigators' Mom always makes us Empanadas when we come over to visit. She is Catholic but she sees how the church can change her son's life. Our first lesson was awesome with them, they were crying and sharing their testimonies and stories of their lives and I could tell they could really feel the spirit. 

My companion is super awesome too. He is from Peru and speaks Spanish and Italian. He is very helpful during our studies and is very patient. I have been teaching him a little English as well, we read the Book of Mormon together in Spanish and English. He has been in Paraguay for 6 months and in this area for 3 months. He said that after the 12 weeks he trains me, that I might train someone in this area, which is a little scary to think about.

The weather has been good, it hasn't rained much but it gets really nice during the night and decently warm during the day. We walk around constantly, so I'm always super tired by the end of the day.

Anyways, hope everyone is doing well at home and it seems like you all had a good time in California, I am praying for all of you and hope you are enjoying the summer.

Love you,

Elder Spiro
