Where does time go? It still feels like I just got to Paraguay and it's been 10 months. It's a little crazy like that. And about the whole senior companion thing........ yeah ............ we´re gettin there. It's weird. I really don't even know what my duties are, what I'm supposed to do. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing, but the district leader said he was going to do divisions with us and help me learn my duties, so that will be good. It's funny how when we just start to get comfortable the Lord throws something new at us to tell us we don't know as much as we think we know.

The dollar is still really low here. Normally it's 5 mil Guaranis, but right now it's a little less than 4. And I know how you feel about putting the important stuff first. Sometimes the world finds a way to get in the way, but as you said we are here to progress. That's what Christ died for, to give us the chance to change.

Everything is going wellish here. We still are unable to find new people to teach. The men don't get home till 6 and then they go play soccer. So it's women alone in house all day everyday. But we will find people to teach I am sure of that. In the Parable of the Vineyard in Jacob there is a part where the servant of the Lord asks "Why did you plant this tree here. It is a sterile piece of ground" but the Lord says "don't counsel me, I know what I'm doing. Go and water the trees over there", and it turned out that "the tree put forth much fruit." So yeah moral of the story.... lots of baptisms can be had everywhere. So we've just got to find them.

Well that really is just about all that's going on here. I love ya tons and I look forward to hearing from you next week. So I'm super grateful to hear from you and the advice you always give me. I love ya tons and I look forward to hearing from you next week.

Love, Elder Brown
