November 19, 2007

Hello!

How is everyone! I´ll bet you are all busy just like me! Before I forget, have a Great Thanksgiving, and score some touchdowns for me in the Turkey Bowl!

Well another week has come and gone in crazy Villa Celina! Things are progressing well. We have a lot of non-members in church but it's difficult for them to progress for one reason or another.

The Spanish is improving a lot due to the help of my crazy Paraguayan companion. He is teaching me Guanani (language of Paraguay) but its very different. His English is improving, too. Still searching and teaching. Not too much happened that I can write about, but it was a very successful week!

The Elders from Villa Madero had a Baptism which was a bit interesting... but all was well in the end. Anything exciting happen with any of you? (Ian or Sean) =)

The Villa down here is CRAZY during Sundays. 6 days of straight work and then on Sundays, Everyone is fall over drunk, down to the age if 12. It's very sad sometimes to watch the effect that the alcohol has on the people, especially the families and the poor mothers and children. About three times we saw people that we thought were dead but were just passed out from alcohol. It doesn't help that it's cheaper than water.

We don't really do too much on Sundays. I'm so grateful for the Word of Wisdom or the palabra de sabiduría. The difference between those who are blessed because of their obedience to it and those who don't observe it or know about it is literally Black and white.

WELL, anyways, I'm very happy and things are going very well. I hope all is well for all of you and know that I pray for you all!! Thanks for your support!

Con amor y gratitud,

Elder Kelly
