| This one's name is Walle. Isn't he cute ! |
First, Marcelo is progressing like crazy!!! He has a date for the 17th!! He
is soooo excited! Yesterday he came to church and when we double checked
to see if he had been praying about the date, he started to frantically nod and
say ¨I want to!¨ The Lord blessed us with various opportunities to bond
with his mom this past week. It was awesome! She is darling and now
a ton more open to the idea of Marcelo getting baptized. He is so curious
and learns so fast. He is already thinking about a mission and wondering
who he wants to be baptized. Yesterday, when we shared with him we
talked about the Book of Mormon and he was stoked to find out that the
Savior actually came to the Americas. He said, ¨Oh ya like it says in la
Biblia... other sheep I have which are not of this fold.¨ (John 10:6)
We then opened to 3 Nephi 15: 17. I cannot describe the joy that
you saw running through his face. Something clicked. It hit him.
He said, ¨I can´t believe how many things are unfolding. It´s like
the Book of Mormon and Bible testify of one another.¨ Oh it was a
priceless moment. Also during sacrament he tells us, ¨It´s unbelievable
how incredible I feel in this church.¨ He loves it so much! I
opened to D&C 11: 12-14 and let him read. He smiled shaking his head
in agreement. He is going to change the future of the church in Paraguay.
I want you all to meet him!

| Dinner's with familia Rios are the best !! |
We also
had another neat experience. Elder Wilhelm, from the 70, was here this
week with his darling wife. They gave a power house conference to our mission,
and then a special fireside for menos activos y ivestigators. We brought
a couple menos activos and a darling investigator named Maria Elena. She
loved it! They talked about the opportunity each one of us has to
meditate and pray to know if these things are true. She said, ¨I´m gonna go do
that.¨ ha yes! Afterward we went and walked around the temple, even
entered the doors into the first little room (waiting parlor i think). A
darling temple worker approached us named Hermano Decoud. Wrinkles
swallowed his eyes in a darling grin. He asked Maria Elena what she
thought and when she was planning on getting baptized. :) She said, ¨I love it!
and hopefully soon!¨
