As promised I included a few pictures of where I live. I don't actually live in my area. I live in central about 15 minutes walking away from my area, but its good. Funny thing is I do carry my camera around in my backpack. I just don't think to take pictures. I will try harder next week.

Everything is good here. We spoke in church Sunday which was not fun because I'm not that good at talking in English let alone Spanish, but it was alright. It was a pretty good week. A problem we see alot here is that everyone is so deeply entrenched in their religion that they refuse to change. We asked a couple that if God told them their religion was wrong would they be baptized, and the guy said we have always been catholic and we will never change. It's really sad to think that people are so deeply entrenched that they wouldnt even change if God told them to. It's really too bad.

I'm already starting to melt. and summer hasn't even started. I'm not excited for that. (Editor's note: Paraguay is in the Southern Hemisphere so it is spring there). but thats all i want and need.

As far as who we are teaching we have some problems. We have one investigator with a fetcha (date) for next week, one investigator who isn't doing his reading and is having trouble believing Joseph Smith was a prophet (probably cause he´s not reading) and another two who we were supposed to have married last Saturday and baptized yesterday who have just had problem after problem and we are working with. Other than that we just teach a lot of lessons, but thats okay. The worst it could be is a good encounter with members.

So that's pretty much all here, but know that I love you and miss you. I'll take more pictures this week. I love you.

Love Elder Brown
