Sometimes we have really hard weeks.

Hola Familia!
So this week.. was very hard. and very very hot. some members told us that this is the hottest summer theyve had in paraguay in 80 years! ha! and also I learned this week that asuncion is rated the hottest city in the entire world! yep thats where I am! and you know what happens when its this hot? nobody has water... its a problem.
honestly that has been the problem of this week. we have had water in our house 4 out of the 7 days this week but thats better than the asentimientos where like all the lean to kinda houses are havent had any for like a week! so nobody was very happy this week and no one really wanted to talk to us but we kept on working right through it! there was a lot of walking during siesta which is the hottest part of the day which is like 2 in the afternoon until 5 and siesta is naptime, and everyone has naps here, like people come home from work to sleep and you dont want to wake up people during naptime, that just makes them mad haha we are just praying for some rain to bring everyone back to life! its true though that we have to go through hard weeks so that we can experience the good weeks too!
we did have some awesome moments though! Elder hunsaker our zone leader was doing divisions with an elder thats brazilian and during their division they went and visited the family of Creosa, our brazilian family weve been working with and we havent been able to talk to the dad at all because he doesnt want to listen but elder sousa from brazil, sat and talked to the dad for about an hour in portuguese and shared his testimony about how the church has changed his family and then yesterday elder hunsaker got a portuguese book of mormon from elder sousa that he wrote his testimony in so now we are going to go take that to him and try and have a lesson!
also speaking of elder hunsaker, hes going home this week! and im sending presents with him for you family! with him going home we had quite a few parties with the ward members and got some super good food and got to celebrate with the elders and them!
anyways. we have transfers this week!!! and im sadly leaving my little juan de salazar! hermana lutz is staying and going to be training, but im going to Isla Bugado with my new companion Hermana Cowger! Hermana Lutz knows her and says she super nice and im pretty sure shes from Idaho!
so that was pretty much my week! sorry there was not a ton to it! but I will have a ton to tell you next week about my new area! love you all so much! have a good week!

love hermana meese
