Hermana Quincee Carter Paraguay Asuncion North: Monkeys with Fish Skin

Howdy from Luque! Marumburé is beautiful and so much fun! I loved Moroni and I miss it a lot, but I'm excited for what's in store for me in this area!

I am in another trio and it has been quite the adjustment but we are still working hard and having a good time. Maramburé is huge, like I can't stress that enough, it's hugggeee!! We are walking a lot, and sweating a whole lot more! Summer is starting to set in here, so the past week we've been in the high 90s-100s and all the locals say - just wait till January!! #pray4quincee!

The ward here is really big and super willing to help us en la obra so that's awesome! There are some really amazing people we are teaching here so I'm stoked about that as well! Big things in store... I can feel it

Said goodbyes to Hermana Roman and Castro and headed solo to the mission office
Marambure is only like 40 minutes away from Asuncion but its like a different world
There's so much red sand here
We have lunches with members almost everyday and it's soo good but soo bad #foodcoma
My new comps: Hermana Gebs is from Wyoming and Hermana Peralta is from Paraguay
We are teaching this great couple named Nuri and Richard and they've come to church twice!!
We had a ward activity in a campsite called Campo Moroni and it was super fun, and very hot a sweaty of course
Played soccer with all the men from our ward and I almost died
Christmas is this weekend, what the heck
A little girl here drew me and it was so cute
Had intercambios and I headed to Itagua with Hermana Cox- she's great
Feeling a little overwhelmed with how fast time is going by and all the responsibilities I have, but it's okay we still vibin'

I have spent a lot of time these past few weeks on my knees and it's amazing to see how God really does answer prayers. My patience has grown. My heart has changed. I have a long way to go, but the Lord is answering my prayers and helping me along the way. I have also been able to work on my own personal ability to understand and listen to the spirit.

1 Kings 19:11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake

12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

My world is a little chaotic right now. It feels like there are lots of things going on that are out of my control, but if I take a minute and focus on that still small voice, instead of the fires and winds, He will guide me and show me what I need to do.

Te amo,

Hermana Carter
