Wow, another week gone by. They just fly! How is everyone? Enjoying the fall season and all the holidays? You better be!
Here, there are a few Christmas lights around and a few fake trees here and there but it's too hot to feel like the holiday season. But, either way, I am happy to be here in Paraguay!
This past week Rosmeri got baptized!! Her story is just amazing and I am so glad that she finally made the wonderful covenant of baptism with our Heavenly Father! It was just the best seeing her enter the water and enter into the path of righteousness! We had the opportunity to see her every day this past week. What a wonderful blessing it is to be here. To be a tool in the Lord's hand. To bring his children unto him. I know I am certainly not converting anyone with my words (or lack thereof) but by opening my mouth, I can be a help for the Lord. I know that we all can. As a full-time missionary or not, we can all be a help in building up God's kingdom here on the earth! I encourage you all to look for one thing you can do this week to be a tool in the Lord's hands!

Hmm, nothing really too exciting this week other than the baptism of Rosmeri! Life is good here in Paraguay. The people are just the best. So nice! I love them!! We are teaching an investigator right now, Deisy Ramos. She is 23 and she has so much desire to know the truth. It has been such a wonderful blessing to see her learn the Gospel of Jesus Christ and see her progression. With Rosmeri, she always knew this was the true church, but with Deisy, we have seen her slowly become more and more enlightened by the knowledge of this gospel. It has been the most wonderful experience getting to know her, her needs, seeing her grow, and hoping and working for a baptism in the future! She is amazing.
Well, I just want to share, or tell you guys to read 2 Nephi 4. And sometimes we may feel like that, but I know the Savior's atonement can help us in any and every circumstance! Trust in the Lord! Alma 36 is really powerful too. I know these are the words of God to US. For us. Read them and apply them! Through applying the scriptures in our lives, we can be happier, live happier and more in peace!
Well, I hope this week is wonderful and dandy! Talk to you next week!
Love, Hermana Liesel Wiscombe
