The Happy Couple
No sure how I feel about green noodles :/
I guess this means he got his Halloween Package!
Dear Family,
This week has gone by really fast which is suprising because we didnt get a whole lot done, which means we were not very busy. My companion has two changes left so he has kind of hit the whole TRUNKY wall and is not in the mood to work really hard, he has a little burnout and i hope that this pday will rejuvenate him and get him excited for the work again. I am trying my best to work as hard as i can but its hard when you cant really say everything you need to or understand everything. I am still relying on him alot obviously because he can speak the language perfectly. But all in all it was still a great week. There was a wedding and a baptism. It wasnt our baptism öfficially¨ but it should be because we found him and taught him a bunch of lessons too. Oh well... So this part is for kels... i had a dream last week about us in paraguay. You were here with hailey and we were watching paraguayans play soccer and she said that she wanted to play so she ran out there and the first attempt to steal the ball she went down. She started screaming bloody murder and i realized she snapped her leg in half and we could see the bone. I am pretty sure i wrote this to you in a letter so i will let you read it and finish it more in detail when you get it! haha so anyways last week when we went shopping i found... SNICKERS AND TWIX here!! oh man i will tell you what that was eye candy literally!! I was so excited and had to buy a few of course!! i ate them nice and slow like i was on a commercial or something trying to make it look and taste as good as possible!! haha So about the baptism, we found him and his name is Ever. He has a girlfriend whose is a member and they live in our ward. So we taught him once and then gave the reference to Elder Hall and Guizada because its in their area. He was golden!!!! he read everyday in the BOM until he got baptized, he made it half way through mosiah. He ended up getting baptized but of course him and his girlfriend had to get married first because they were breaking the law of chastity. The wedding was in the church and turned out really nice. We decorated it a little but it was simple and everyone liked it. The food they had was nothing like a wedding reception we would have in the states! it was all like super fat meat and greasy things. Nothing sweet or sugary or delicious thats for sure!! Only the cake at the end and even that was dry. They just dont really know anything sweet or rich like we have in the USA. So we made our usual weekly stop at burgerking to get shakes and i realized that they charge people to play in their playplace!! haha and better yet you can have them cader a birthday party there!! like a super all out nice party for children!! its super expensive but thats the difference between mcdonalds and burgerking here!! they are like 5 star resturants.!! haha oh ya i took out 25 more dollars of my account. Just for safety. But i dont plan on using it at all and i dont plan on taking out anymore for a long time. I am going to be super frugal This month!! i have my budget set out and i am going to make sure that i stick too it! we just got done with shopping and i bought everything that i needed to buy and a little more for less than my alotted amount i gave myself! ha yay me!! i learned from the best! MOM!! so this week we had a MASSIVE storm come through. It was really random because we were studying and it was super sunny and hot and then BAM!! rain and wind and thunder hit like CRAZY!! i loved it of course... simply because we were still in the house! haha once we left it sucked because its just a muddy river everywhere but we still make it fun! haha it lasted for like two days and there were trees that got ripped outta the ground and broke in half and it was sweet!! days like that though i wanna just sit inside and watch it storm. We made more brownies this week, its like a main staple of american desert food here because its cheap and fast. We forget ot buy real butter though so we had to use margarine, ya i soon realized my they say use real butter!! haha they were still better than the cakes here though... i just used alot of milk and it was fine!! So i had another dream this week that i got home and we were driving to the lake and dad stopped at this car lot and bought a brand new huge decked out tundra and i was like what are we doing and you told me that we were rich now and he had been waiting for this custom tundra for months!! haha we left the camry there with everything inside and took the new truck and BOAT that dad bought out to sandhollow. I just remember mom having a FAT roll of hundreds in her hand!! haha it was funny! So it sounds like kelsey had a good time for her birthday. Thank you SOOO much mom for everything you did!! i really appreciate it and i know she did too!! So as far as halloween goes here.... well ya it just doesnt exist whatsoever!! people acknowledge that its a suppose to be halloween but they dont do anything and there is NO excitement or change in the daily routine whatsoever. So that was pretty lame. We wore or patches and pirate stuff. I will send those pictures next week. I am trying to space out all my pictures i take so you can get some every week. I only have one request. I would really really like and benefit from having my LINE OF AUTHORITY. If you could help me with that dad i would be so grateful!! Thanks. So yesterday was the biggest soccer game in paraguay. Cero vs Olimpia. They are rivals and it is just huge!! I guess people kill people after the games when their teams lose!! haha its crazy because everyone is totally wasted drunk thats why there is fights and crashes and death! So yesterday was pretty much worthless for the work because they were all drinking and watching the game. Which was at 4 in the afternoon so it wiped out the whole day!! Today we got up early and went to ITAIPU. Which is the worlds largest dam. It was really really cool and just massive!! Its in brazil so i crossed the boarder for like twenty minutes as we rode in the bus that does the tour of it all. It was realy cool and you will be getting pictures of it in this email!! haha you can look it up on the internet too because its huge. It took almost 30 years to build!! I guess before they made it thought the waterfalls that used to be there were considered one of the seven wonders of the world. So they ruined that. haha but this is the dam that powers ALL of paraguay and brazil! its crazy the amount of power it can generate. That was fun!! Well sorry not alot happened this week but i sure do love you all and miss you alot!! i think about everyone constantly and cant wait to talk to you soon!! Until Next week!! I love you
Elder Hunt

And i will call the office and ahave them bring me all of my packages when the president comes. We stay here and meet in the stake center and the pres and his wife comes to us. Oh ya so i got a bunch of dear elders this week... One was from claudia. She asked what i wanted for christmas and to be honest i dont know so just have kelsey tell her to suprise me or just load it up with junk food or whatever they want!! Thanks i love you!!
