Blacker, Chandler

Well hello there!  How was your week? Not surprisingly, I couldn't remember what I did this week.  To help me remember, I took a look at the photos that I had taken during the week and found out that I only had pics of the broken laptop.  What a shame.  I have been working for more than a month on fixing this thing and the only thing I have achieved has been annoying the IT workers at Dell and at the Church until they have essentially told me to shove off.  Yayyyyyy.  That was funnnnn. Other than that, I had a pretty good week.  I took a lot of people to do the whole visa thing all over again and waiting in the Paraguayan version of the DMV brought me a lot of joy.  Just so you know, the Paraguayan DMV is a little different than the states.  It works a little bit more like the one shown in Zootopia. I also waited in lines at the airport.  (It is really hard to make this email sound interesting) Something actually exciting that ...

Holaaaaaaa I hope y'all are well!  This week was super boring!  We did nothing!  ....Okay well that's not true but it's all I can remember.  In reality I did a lot this week...probably. Here's a few highlights that I can remember... -A living Apostle of the Living Lord came to say hi to me (There were certainly some other not-quite-so-important reasons) -We're planning 4 conferences that will all happen in only two days Everything else I did seems rather insignificant by comparison.  I mean, I sent out references, started recording facebook shorts about the gospel from various missionaries in the mission, and went to two birthday parties on the same day (one of which had way better food than the other), but most of that is pretty normal.  If all my emails were just describing the process of how I figured out that José Martinez actually lives in Ciudad del Este and NOT Madrid Spain,  I think you would all get bored pretty quick. The Gong conference...

Wowzers.  I have had quite the week.  I have no idea where to start.  So much happened that I can't remember any of it.  I'm just going to start typing and we'll see what comes out. So this week we had transfers.  Transfer week is always the most busy ever.  This is the week that I prepare to not sleep a wink.  It always starts when the missionaries that are headed back home arrive to the office.  They all got here a week ago on Saturday.  We took them to the temple, and to go get souvenirs, leaving me with basically no pday last week, and therefore little time to prepare for this week.  I also recorded their last testimonies and made a video for them before they left the mission. Sunday we had stake conference.  Right now I am in the same stake that I was in when I started the mission here in Paraguay, so I saw all the members from my old ward.  It was pretty funny because I was here for stake conference when they did it about...
