Alright, I can´t lie. I am beyond excited to see you guys on SKYPE this Sunday! I mean, phone calls are awesome, but SKYPE is just taking it to a whole other level. Taking it up a notch, thanks for the quote Chef Emril. Yes, we have permission again to use Skype. This will be my last phone call home. I know I say this every time, but it really is weird. I´ve had my last General Conference on my mission, I´ll be having my last phone call on the mission this Sunday, and next month will be my last temple trip on the mission. But let´s not talk about the end of my mission, I don´t like that subject. Changing to happier things :)
So this week were changes, and I got changed. I left Obrero after 6 months (holy cow, I do not miss packing and unpacking my life in a suitcase...), and I´m now in what I imagine will be my last area. It is a city called Encarnación, and I´m absolutely in love with it. It´s like when I went to Reno and fell in love with it from day 1, it´s the same thing. This city is amazing. It is similar to Obrero, but a little bit more city-ish. I am on the banks of the river that separates Paraguay from Argentina, so you can call it Nauvoo Paraguay haha. My companion
is Elder Alvarez. I already know him because we lived together in Lucerito (my second area) for 4 months haha, so it´s really cool that I get to be his last companion. I´ll actually be his last companion because this is his last change in the mission. I´m still district leader, so that´s good. Also what´s funny is my first companion from Guarambaré (Elder Alexander) is the zone leader here haha so I get to see and work with him again. I´m really excited to be here in Encarnación - I have a feeling it will end up being my favorite area. But we´ll see. I´ll send pictures on Monday of my last days in Obrero.
Next Saturday, May 14th, is Paraguay´s 200th birthday! I bought a sweet shirt to have as a memorial. Couldn´t resist getting one; a 200th birthday only happens once every 200 years yenno
. I´m still trying to figure out how we´re going to effectively work that day, because everybody will either be at an event or drunk. But I know we´ll figure it out. But anyway, sorry to cut it short, but time´s up. I love and miss you all, and I´ll see some of you on Sunday!
