The Simpsons and Burrachos Welcome to Paraguay!

Their Humble Abode!


Elder Hunt and His Comp
Dad and family,
Thanks so much for all the emails and the love that you send with them!! I look so forward every week to hearing from you and whats going on at home with everything and everyone! Sounds like you guys are having tons of fun without me and i am way jealous! those were good times up there at the kids pond. Spanish is starting to pick up. I just need to open my mouth and speak and when i do i am blessed. We taught a less active family last night and watched the movie about when christ was crucified and after usually my companion talks but i just took over and talked all about it and after my companion said taht my testimony was way amazing!! i felt the spirit so so strong in the room and i knew that it was cause i was brave and just said whatever i wanted to and the lord blessed with me the power of the universal language... the spirit! and i know that everyone can understand that!! The food is actually pretty good. We eat alot of chicken and meat and tons of spaghetti and rice! I can handle all of it fine! its usually really really good!! We eat with the members everyday for lunch and usually for dinner our investigators always feed us something! so thats really nice.. i havent had to cook anything more than cold cereal and a hot dog! haha i wish they had other cereal here. its very limited so i am stuck with pretty much the same thing always and the milk cartons are tiny so like 2 bowls and i am outta milk! haha but this week was really good! i felt the spirit strong and i am finally comfortable with jsut about everything! of course there is hard days and i wished i was home sittin on the couch watching soccer with everyone or hanging out with kelsey like i normally would... or going to dinner with the claytons but i know this is where i am supposed to be and at the end of the day i feel great about the things that i have accomplished. They might have not even been that great but i know that they impacted somebody that day! well i hope... haha i have one request for the next package that you send! a pedometer!! i wanna know how much i am walking! our area is huge! haha and i love when you guys send me quotes! tell kelsey i want more of those from her! also i ate at burger king this week for the first time and i was all excited and what not for some real food that i am used to and then i realized that... ITS BURGER KING... the food is not that good at all. haha and of course i was right! but i still enjoyed it! it was nothing compared to my BACONATOR but it sufficed me at the time. People here ALL have motor cycles and scooters and they like to mexi them all out like cars and put SUPER SUPER loud exhausts and other things like that are just annoying as crap!! It hasnt really rained yet besides a little drizzle her and there. It has been fairly chilly though and i have been wearing my long sleeve shirts with my long sleeve sweater everyday for the last 4 or 5 days. People here also love to watch cartoons like the simpsons!! they are like little kids! they know all the cartoons and just love them! Haha also they have water wells taht they get there water out of it they are really poor! it makes me so grateful to have running water and even more grateful for all you do to provide for us daily!! The bishopric here has 3 people but the 2nd counselo hasnt come forever and we finally got him to say he would come every other week! how gerat! haha another thing htat is so sick here is that the women just breast feed anywhere at anytime and dont cover up at all!! UGH!! and the woman dont shave at all! haha i am still trying to get used to the latin american culture obviously! haha also the men here... well everyone loves to drink ESPECIALLY on sudays so there is ´burrachos´ everywhere in the streets saying crazy things! haha So in a lesson yesterday a lday asked how come the blacks didnt receive the preisthood until they did and i said we dont have doctorine but tried to kinda explain why... but it was impossimble in spanish!! haha so i said screw it and gave up. I am still trying to get used to translating my thoughts from english into spanish!! its difficult!! But thanks for everything and i will continue to work hard for everyone! i got a cable for my camera so pictures should be attached to this!! I LOVE YOU ALL!! tell kels i miss here like crazy and love her and i am still waiting for her first letters! haha until next week! well it looks like the pictures are being difficult! so next week we will try a different computer place! sorry everyone! love ya! Elder HUNT
