Elder Brown and Elder Richards with their Paraguayan Family

Everything is going super good here. New Year's was pretty lame, mostly because it was hard to sleep. Paraguayans celebrate Christmas and New Year's the same way...... little bombs, little bombs that blow up and make a lot of noise. If I didn´t know better I would think that Paraguay was under attack. I tried to get a video of it but I just wasn't quick enough. I went in and got my camera and came out and the biggest wave of explosions was already over, but there's always next year right.
I'm glad you learned how to make Empanadas, I'm super excited for chicken alfredo and bbq meatball empanadas. Here they only have like ham and chesse, cow meat, chicken and that's just about it. They have the liberty to throw anything they want in and they don't. Paraguayans not a fan of change. And don't worry I´ll be sure to get a picture of abuela before I leave here. She might even come and chill in our house some week. (She wants to come visit her muchos nietos(grandchildren) and most of them live in Utah(because all missionaries are from La Fabrica Mormona(the Mormon factory)) and I offered our house considering how we have so much space and all.(hope your ok with that.(she doesn´t speak English(it will be pretty funny if she actually comes haha.

Know always that I love you super tons, I miss you a lot but like you said 2 years is a small time in the grand scheme of things.

Te quiero demasiado (I love you too much)
