This is My awkward, AWKWARD district before Hermana Bautista and Elder Chacon left. This basically sums up my whole change with them.






Here is our room where we have our Confession Sessions//aka Dr Phil office. hahaha
Hermana Linares goes home in 4 months and I am here to help her remain calm. hahaha (Also our whiteboard with some nice "Smashing Pumpkins" lyrics)


Here  is the best story I forgot to tell you guys: for those of you who know me know that my biggest fear is LICE
WELL
One time we went to a menos activos house and they have a daughter who is kind of autistic or something... idk... but she is special and like 16 years old
Well  we greeted her (cheek kisses) and then she asked us both if we had lice
"umm.... no" I replied as my heart halted and my insides shrunk
Then... without being able to stop myself I asked "¿do you?" dreading the answer like I have never dread anything before in my life. 
She smiled and nodded afirmatively! 
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

so...
So now I wash my hair with this lice killing shampoo and cry every morning

Nightmares come true


This is a pic I snapped at one of our Lunches. 
It`s a pasta dish called Tajarin.
It´s just like... mediocre pasta with LOTS of Oil (Aciete is a Paraguayan Staple food), a basic tomatoe sauce and chicken.
It´s just. . . food. Neither here, nor there.
Served with mandioca and/or bread.
Accompanied by fresh, DELICIOUS juices!! I do love the fresh fruit juices! :)

This is what I eat everyday or some variation, but similar (instead of noodles its rice or instead of chicken its red meat) 
I haven´t seen a vegtable since Yby Yau (where I was in charge of my own lunches)
I feel like a blubberous whale and it`s REALLY hard to walk around after lunch because it`s not like a light sandwich or a salad or something to fill us up and keep us going.
It´s HEAVY. Always! and 

... I am dying.

The grass is NOT greener on the other side. I am eating my words (along with oily pasta) from when I said I was excited to have the members give us lunch.
The grass is not greener, in fact there are not greeneries whatsoever. 
MEAT and CARBS and JUICE.
It´s not that it is gross, it´s just I really want a Carrot.



I asked to use a Menos Activos bathroom and they have a TUB! I got so excited I took a picture. I love baths. Why am I always living in countries with no Tubs?! THIS ISNT NO MORE BATHS!


At night we drink matè dulce and I take pictures of the moon a lot


Hi! 7 more days have passed us by!
 I love being able to say that I used the hours in those days to try to tell my brothers and sisters about our Father in Heaven and what our Big Brother and Savior did to help us get back home. 
This week I am happy because my earthly brother, Justiz, will soon be doing the same thing with the hours in his day! (on Wednesday! GO ZMAN! I LOVE YOU! RETURN WITH HONOR!) 
I have good friends doing the same with the hours in their days.
 I am on a mission doing good works with the time that God blesses me with.
 I have the support of a wonderful family back home.
 I have the strength and help of the Creator of this universe by my side at all times. 
I have made covenants in the Lord`s house and have the promise of Eternal Life so long as I keep them. 
I know who I am. I know God`s Plan. I believe in the Savior, Jesus Christ. I`ll honor His name. His truth I will proclaim. God had been so good to me. 

 Also, I am getting really good at making banana bread. 

 Please pray for Familia Garcia Sosa Familia Perez Viviani and Anibal Familia Rios Maria Jose and Alana Mirtha Espinosa And Everyone else here that we are teaching or supposed to teach and Everyone in Yby Yau that I miss teaching

 XOXO Hermana Lib
