How was my WEEEEEEEEEEKKK???

Well, its hot, but there was a change in how we RENDIR in south america. We dont rendir ANY numbers (not how many con fecha, how many lessons with member how many otras how many progressing,...etc) NOTHING except how many baptisms, how many Recent converts at church and how much as the Asistencia. 

We are like WAY focused on MINISTRY... not numbers except those which show REAL growth. The people who get baptised, who stay active or who come back to church. 

its new, its crazy, but it helps us focus on PEOPLE and I LOVE it

That´s what my Big Brother Jesus the Christ did and I really wanna be like that guy.

Today was Hermana Santos´s Last Pday

We celebrated like KINGS!

So Elder Plasencia Dies this week and... even though we dont know him that well and we arent that close... Hermana Fardos and I thought it would just be nice if someone did it for US if we were dying, to we did it for him. We made him this package that is! complete with colored pencils and a custom coloring page for him to color on the way home to Peru, Muddy Buddies (Chex Mix, that turned out SO well), a 4 day countdown page and a picture of an airplane. We gave it to him in a box decked out with wedding pictures. We also gave his Comp "our condolances" and a Plan of Salvation folleto with a card that says "Can our Companionship continue on after death" and of course, more Muddy Buddies.

What do you call 2 Elders that get caught in a Paraguayan rain storm?

MUDDY BUDDIES! hahahahaha

Happy One Year to me

PIZZA! YEAH! yes yes yes yes!! SI!

New years we were not permitted to be out later than normal, so the Gimenex family prepared their meal early so that we could still have a mini celebration. It was SOOOOOOOOOOOO goooooodddddddd and super Paraguayan! I dont want to say it was better than Chsitmas, because I am grateful for both acts of kindness, but if I had to chose which night to repeat I would chose new years. 

They also gifted us FIESTA KIDS Apple Cider of Violetta and Disney. We Partied so Hard. hahahaha

Thanks for the Trunky Calander Dad! I filled 2/3 of it now!

This is me this morning (Jan 5th) over the RIO PARAGUAYO bridge

It seperates Argentina and Paraguay

How "A Walk to Remember" of me.

I, Libertee, write an email in the style of Jarom (from the Book of Mormon).

This week we did things. I was sweaty. We celebrated New Years.

I forgot to write in my journal and I wrote a bad blog update to make up for it (this). I am no Nephi, Moroni or Wilford Woodruff when it comes to record keeping. I will regret this later. I must work on this trait with dillegence to be better at recording my life.

I know God is real and that the Gospel of Christ, His Begotten Son, is True. I know that this Gospel is found in whole and unconfused only in His restored church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I know He loves us and yearns to bless us. 

I will now push this record keeping responsibility stuff off until next week.
