Councilio and I am up to date!

Today we had Councilio.  It was so wonderful to be with these leaders as they plan and prepare to create zones that can accomplish miracles.  Not only that they planned and prepared a big surprise for our 34th anniversary!  We love you, we are proud of you and are so grateful to work with you and raise a standard of excellence here in the mission!








Goodbyes

We love to go to Paulistas resturant and gorge ourselves before we start the flow of tears that will come in hours as we send these missionaries off to families that are anxiously awaiting for their return.  It is always so fun to see how much these missionaries have grown and changed not only spiritually but they literally have grownup before our eyes into awesome adults.

A very unconventional last day, sorry Elder Armstrong we couldn´t send you off to Utah!  We wish you would have been in Councilio!




Our newbies for April

Have I mentioned how much we love getting new missionaries?  WE DO!  We must love it a lot because we stay up all night waiting for them with great anticipation. No one can sleep until they are all here and accounted for and at least have a mattress for a few hours until we start preparing them to leave. We love the excitement and anticipation that they bring. We love the talents that they bring. It is just a joy in every aspect!

A super great day!

A super great day was when President got to baptize Victor and Fefe Romero!  They are from Puerta Esperanza a tiny villi age in the very top of the Chaco Alto.  Such wonderful people who have the purest hearts.  It was wonderful that they would come all they way to Asuncion to be baptized!


April 2019 General Conference in the mission

La conferencia  fue tan especial y es una firme confirmación  mas para mi de que realmente Jesucristo dirige su iglesia,  mi testimonio  se ha fortalecido se realmente que  el profeta es el hombre elegido por Dios para guiarnos en este tiempo y para ayudarnos a comprender mas La Doctrina de Cristo y Su Expiación , se que si obedecemos lo que el nos dice y nos manda que hagamos vamos a ver muchas mas bendiciones de Nuestro Padre Celestial y Jesucristo y  vamos a sentir cada día el amor que tienen para nosotros.
Hermana Gaona, Atyra Paraguay



Me siento muy bien por que nuestro profeta nos ha motivado a ser mas diligentes en los últimos días y por que nos anima a alentar a nuestra familia para hacer convenios sagrados en el templo y se que son palabras verdaderas y que estamos en los últimos días, debemos seguir el consejo de nuestro presídete El TIEMPO SE ESTÁ ACABANDO.

La conferencia fue muy especial para poder aceptar invitaciones que las autoridades nos an dado y una oportunidad para que dejemos atrás todas las cosas que nos impiden arrenpentirnos y progresar ya que que como el presidente nos habló De que tenemos que progresar si no, no vamos a poder estar tranquilos en los días venideros , también nos motiva a ayudar  a las  personas y amarlas como Cristo lo hizo

This General Conference was a spiritual feast! Listening to the words of the servants of the Lord bring a power from heaven unlike any other. One of the greatest things I learned from President Nelson is that daily repentance is an essential process for eternal progression. More than that, it’s possible; it’s joyful—thanks to the matchless gift of His Divine Son. Just reach up and receive the blessings He offers!
