Hermana Quincee Carter Paraguay Asuncion North: What a Great Week To Be A Missionary

Hola Everybody-

Lots of lessons and lots of pictures so let's get to it.

Ricardoooooo!!

Ricardo is "de oro"!! Every lesson with him, I swear, I learn sooo much. He is flying through the Book of Mormon and told us he has a testimony of its truth. Our most recent lesson with him we were talking about the doctrine of Christ- faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism, reception of the holy ghost, and persevering until the end. The spirit was so strong and at the end of the lesson after we had borne our testimonies Ricardo said he wanted to be baptized. I could fill pages trying to describe the experience, the feelings and the spirit I felt that day, and it still wouldn't capture it. So for now I'll just say wow! Wow Ricardo!

I am so happy and content here! We had lots of other amazing tender mercies this week and I just feel so blessed to be a missionary!

Hermano Rojas is an awesome member in our ward who knows everyone. This week he took us around his neighborhood and introduced us to his friends. Thanks Hermano Rojas for helping us find 8 new people to teach!
We had another in-person district meeting. It was fun meeting the new people in our district after cambios
My companionship and the bishop helped organize a temple trip for the youth in the ward. This was the first time in 2 years lots of them got to go back to the temple.
Yesterday was fasting testimony meeting and it was the best thing to watch all the kids who went to the temple line up to bare their testimonies of the temple.
This week Hermana Soria hit 20 months in the mission which is absolutely insane!(She got permission to extend her mission and stay out longer.) She only has two weeks left till she heads home. She was originally serving in Honduras, but because of the mission had to come back to serve in her home country.
The people here are amazing
We are working with a less active family and after a few lessons the 9 year old daughter said she wants to be baptized. It was so awesome to see them at church!
Both my sisters had birthdays, Camden June 1st and Taitum June 4th, so shout out to them! love ya!
Little Hermana Gill got bit by a dog. Luckily it wasn't too bad and the dog had all the shots. I'm definitely in a different country.
Eugenia had the opportunity to go to the temple and do baptisms for her ancestors! So happy for her.
Our neighbors were playing 80s alternative and it was pretty groovy. Sunday Bloody Sunday. Tainted Love. Hungry Like the Wolf. Grooovvvyyyy!!!!
Hit 2 minutes holding my breath

One topic that I was studying this week that I just wanted to share briefly is that nothing you have done can separate you from the love of Christ. If you feel like you can't be redeemed I just would like to say lovingly, you are wrong. Christ loves everyone. He is waiting anxiously to hear from you, to pore his love over you.

Romans 38:39- For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Te Amo,

Hermana Carter
