Dear Family and Friends,
We
are watching the weeks fly by and we can’t believe how fast time is
flying. We went to a nice district meeting this week and Elder Obray did
a good job leading the meeting. The next day Mark went out teaching
with Elders Schone and Wilson. He enjoys being out teaching and seeing
the missionaries in action. One of the couples was in conference today
and they are excited to move forward and continue to learn more about
the gospel and prepare for baptism.
Thursday
we had a nice visit with a young man who served here with us our first
two years. Elder Harris has been home from his mission and came back
with his twin brother to show him Paraguay and his mission. It was good
to see him.
Friday
we spent some time organizing the house in preparation for the move. We
are decluttering a bit and getting things ready for the new president
and his family. The house seems to collect things from each president
and we have gotten rid of a lot of old things that were taking up
storage space that will be needed for the Agazzani’s and their 5
children.
Saturday
and Sunday we were invited to a stake conference for Fernando de la
Mora which is the stake we live in. Mark spoke on Saturday and we both
spoke on Sunday which was our last stake conference in Paraguay. We felt
sad to see many people for the last time. We saw a young man there that
we first met when we were preparing our language skills before the
mission at the MTC in Provo. He served his mission in Salt Lake and
loved it. He has been home a year and lives in the Moroni ward in the
other mission. It was fun to talk to him about his mission.
Tomorrow
is our last Zone leaders’ council and we also invited all the district
leaders so we can make sure everyone is well trained when they greet the
new president. We feel so much love and gratitude for the wonderful
missionaries that we are serving with here in the mission. They are
working hard to help people learn about their Savior and the true church
and help them make the covenant of baptism. They are also progressing
personally also! The mission is such a great blessing for us as we participate in the work!
Have a great week! Love, Mark and Sandy
