The New Elders with President and Sister Callan

(Tyler is in front of the picture on the wall. Click to enlarge)
I'm hoping I get to send these pictures. the computer today is as slow as cold tar but lets hope for the best. This week was... a week. It's all good, but none of our investigators are progressing. None of our baptisms held, but thats okay. Satan has a strong hold on this people. We just need to fight harder to break it. We teach a lot of lessons, close to 40 a week, but most of them are useless. The people are never there for the second appointment. It's sad to see satan's hold on these people. Every Saturday and Sunday most people just go get drunk. It's sad, we are working hard but not seeing the success we would like. I think it's just a testing period from God, we will just have to fight through it and do our best.

I lost most of my p-day this week because we had to go to Asuncion (a 4 hour drive) to sign papers and then come back (another 4 hour drive) so I have an hour left of my p day and we still need to get groceries, but know that I love you and I miss you and look forward to hearing from you every week.

Love, Elder Brown

Questions for this week:

1. Do you have a blanket for your bed? All I see is your sheets?
I have a blanket, but seeing as we are now entering summer it's kind of excessive to use them.

2. How do you feel about the language at this point?
The language is coming, I'm starting to understand more and more which is a good thing.

3.. How are the members? Do they treat you well?
Yeah the members are great.

4. Do you have any responsibilities in your ward/branch?
Not really. everything is pretty well covered. we usually run around during the first two blocks trying to gather our investigators.

5.. Do you know any Guarani words yet? or are you just learning Spanish?
I know a few. I know ya poo which means to lie, dai kwaii, which means I don't know, and a couple of greetings but thats it. I figure I'll get Spanish first.

Sorry the computer didn't cooperate for pictures, hopefully next week.
