It is a wonderful sunny day here in Clorinda, Formosa. The rain has stopped finally and my white shirts don't have a mildewish smell to them anymore. You just can't dry clothing very well with 100% humidity. My pants are now back to their original and different colors and not just mud brown. I have never seen my shoes in such a terribly muddy condition. I took the sunset picture right next to our pensión. The road was covered in water so it looked really pretty.
This past week, my comp and I worked and worked and worked. We found 32 new investigators. Out of the thirty, we are teaching a brother of a member and his family. They already have a baptismal date for the 28th of February because they had been going to church in the other branch. The missionaries there put that date with them even though they live in our area. We are now teaching them and they are awesome. Antonio and Sonya Britez are the coolest. Antonio got in a motorcycle accident a little while back. He got in the wreck because of alcohol. So he promised his wife he wouldn't drink anymore. Talk about being prepared for the gospel. They are a really wonderful couple. It is really good that we have them because one of my two Melchizedek Priesthood holders and his family are moving into the other branch this week. We will miss the Duarte family and their reliability.
Sunday was an interesting day. We have 25 people in church and I was in a district meeting for the first two hours of church. Our ex-Jehovah´s Witness investigator Juan Bautista (John Baptist) came and enjoyed himself. He will definitely be receiving his baptismal date. He knows he isn't doing the right thing living with a woman and not being married to her. They have been together for 13 years. She is Catholic and told us that she is idolatrous. Juan has shown her through the Bible all the things she needs to change. He is really fun to teach because he knows so much. He still calls Jehovah - God but we'll get there soon enough. He just needs to know that Joseph Smith was a Prophet and that the Book of Mormon is true.
Tonight I will be having our branch council. I have now acquired binders with manuals, calendars, and all sorts of stuff for my leaders. We will soon be planning machines!!! I hope that they can keep up. They are going to be learning a lot about planning things in advance. No more last minute garbage. By the time we are finished, they will know what they are going to eat on April 12th 2020, well, maybe not that far ahead. I hope this takes flight.
Today we played some paddle ball. We got all nice and sweaty and then got back into our proselyting clothes. I might as well have played in my proselyting clothes with how wet they were after I put them back on. Check out my crazy nasty farmers tan. SICK!
My comp hasn't abused any animals this week. Wait I think I lied. Elder Robertson did destroy a few hundred spiders or so. However, I don't know if that counts as animal abuse if nobody likes them.
That is all that has happened since last week. I hope that everyone is doing well.
Love you all.
Adios.
Elder Hunsaker
