First of all... Can you believe that 9 months has past?? It really scares me to be honest. In just 2 days I will have officially completed half of my WHOLE mission. And it scares me to think that I just have another of what I have already done to go! It is going by WAYYYYYY too fast! But, I am so happy! I really just love being a missionary here in Paraguay.
So, this week was pretty good. But, let`s start off with the beginning of the week. You guys thought that our bad luck ended... NOPE. On Tuesday, after our district meeting, we went to visit Elsa. When we got to her house, she wasn`t home. But, her little brother was home and he said that we could wait until she got home cz she was on her way. So, we walk up to the house and when we get to the door, we see that there are two puppies. My companion is looking at them, you know, and saying like ``AWWWW´´. Everything`s good. We didn`t touch them or anything. Then, we turn to walk inside the house to wait and we hear the little kid say something like ``Yeah, the mom is bad.... Here she comes´´. The mama dog then comes out from around the corner of the house when we were at point to walk in and all so fast..... BITES MY COMPANION. Yeah. Totally bit her ankle. We run into the house and look at it. It`s like bleeding and stuff and there are two teeth marks. She was crying, cuz obviously it hurt... And it was just bad. Elsa got there after and felt so bad. She helped us clean the bite and stuff and my companion was just really mad and worried. But, we called the mission nurse and she told us what to do. We had to clean it out with soap at the house and then put antibiotic cream on it. Then, she told us that we had to return to see the dog in ten days to make sure it is all good. If it is, then things are great. If the dog is dead... My companion has to get the rabies shot. But, it is like a tiny tiny tiny chance that the dog has rabies. So, we will see! But, that is definitely the most crazy thing that happened this week. Her poor ankle hurt like all week and it was hard for her to walk... I felt so bad! Stupid dog.
Also, we had a ward night on Wednesday that we (the missionaries) were in charge of. It went well! We were first a bit worried that it was going to rain and ruin all our plans... But, it didn`t and we had a pretty good show up. We actually have a ward night every Wednesday night in our ward, but there is never anything planned. So, we decided to plan an activity and we played the pass-the-balloon-with-the-towel game! It was a hit. Everyone loved it.
Other news is that we had a zone conference on Friday with President McMullin. It, of course, was awesome and very inspiring. After all the conferences you always feel so excited and ready to go out and work, but you also feel horrible cuz you feel like you aren`t doing anything good... There is always something to work on! But, it really was a great conference. We also talked about how we need to be prepared for an emergency and filled emergency kits for our houses.

This week, Elsa and Ever made me a bit angry. I just don`t know what their deal is. Elsa, has a few doubts now and so we are going to work with her to help her out with that... And Ever. I don`t even know. The other day we passed by his house and he was home... But, he didn`t want to talk with us. Who knows why. He is probably just embarrassed or felt bad cuz he isn`t doing to good with the word of wisdom.... So, we will see with them. Some good news is that we were walking from Ever´s house on Friday (when he didn`t want to talk with us) and I remembered that there was a house of inactives that Hermana Pelicó told me we should visit. So, we passed by and the whole family wasn`t home, so we set an appointment to visit them another day of the week. But, the cool thing is that the son that was there talking to us, gave us the reference of his uncle. He said that he was a member. So, we passed by his house and he accepted! So, we found a member the other day. And we had a good lesson with him. His name is Cesar. He got baptzied about 2 years ago. And... He came to church with us yesterday! So, that was cool. We are working with him now to re-activate him in the church.
So, that is about all. I am excited that we are going to be in October (the best month of the year ;) and I am excited that we have general conference this week! Should be great! Have an awesome week!
