So I forgot some information last
week as well. Elder Aquino is back!
Elder Aquino was one of the coolest
dudes I knew in the MTC and was really excited that he was coming to my mission
and wasn’t going to Uruguay with everybody else. I went to PJC, and he went to Salado and all
was good. Then I came into Asuncion 6
months later when I changed from Elder Anderson to Elder Menchaca and found out
he had gone home. It sucked. Anyway, last week Elder Turley’s wild change
got crazier as he ended up with his 4th comp of the last 6 weeks. In comparison, I have had 6 in my whole
mission. His local comp had to go home,
and he said he was getting a new comp named Elder Aquino. I was excited, and then at the baptism on Saturday
we saw him, and yup it’s the Elder Aquino I knew. It’s been awesome having him back. The kid is hilarious.
On Monday we went and played
soccer. No big deal -- we play soccer
every week, right? Nope, we played on a full-sized
field and 11 on 11. It was brutal. I can’t run to save my life. My coast to coast runs are only dreams at
this point. The moment I get the ball
and start a counter attack my body is looking for the pass so I can stop
running. It’s brutal. I just threw in the towel on many plays and
passed the ball away. And tracking on
back on defense was horrible. I ran full
speed and everything felt off. First I
was slow and second it just felt wrong.
That’s one of the first things I’m doing when I get back, get my speed
back. A slow, fat Frost is no good for
anybody. I can’t catch quick, ha ha. Anyway, after that we went to BK (Burger
King), ate, did cyber and then off to a FHE.
Some lady selling stuff wouldn’t
leave us alone. So McClelland bought two
cheap looking shell bracelets. We did a lesson with the Acosta family about the
kingdom of God and used the parables of the pearl seller and the guy that found
treasure. Then I shared a story about
searching for seashells as a kid and that led into the bracelets, which we gave
to the daughters. Dang, I’m good, ha ha. But it was a good lesson and they enjoyed it.
On Tuesday we had to go through our
area books because they are a disaster.
So that sucked. But we did get to
do a practice, and it was awesome. I got
to be bad cop again and I landed Elder Turley and Aquino, so I got to mess with
them. I was a guy who didn’t believe in
God because his daughter was murdered. They
answered that well. So for a curveball, I
told them I killed her killers and had their bodies in the back. It was hilarious. They taught well though, and it was a good
practice, even if not practical, ha ha.
I also bought an LA Kings hat. You win a Stanley cup or two and all of a
sudden they are everywhere, even Paraguay.
Crazy. I miss hockey. And skating.
And ice. And cold, ha ha. Dang Paraguay heat.
It was soooo hot this week. You can’t sit without sweating through your
shirt. I can’t wait for the cold, dry Montana
weather. I’m serious.
We also ate Pizza Hut this week, which
was good. And we had a funny moment when
we got in trouble for drinking our contraband 2 liters. But their pitchers are way overpriced, ha ha.
Also, there was a dog that wandered
in during church and just stayed, and nobody cared. Only in Paraguay, ha ha.
This week are changes, and we have
no idea what is going to happen. But
everyone predicts it’s going to be a strange set of changes. We will see.
Love you guys, and hope you have a
good week. See you soon.
Elder Frost
