Another long-delayed post

Sorry for so long without an update, been sick alot again, because of the stupid weather,(I hate winter), and Kitty had another throat infecting and had to go back to the hospital. We are both feeling pretty good right now though. ( I was going to post this about a week ago, but I got sick again, and was for about a week. sorry. )

Let me see, we had the convention in English. It was great, we have the only English congregation in the country, maybe 35 people, but over 100 people attended the convention. It was givin inside a Kingdom Hall. It actually felt more like a meeting then a convention, so the atmosphere was super warm and friendly, and somehow more casual then you would expect. I knew like over 50% of the people there. Let's see, what else. Oh, I went to see the new spider man movie in 3d, which was awesome. We had lunch with the C.O. and his wife. Oh, and I went out preaching in Spanish the other day. It was super nice. I placed 6 magazines, gave 3 presentations in all Spanish, and got a new call :).
I should have  have my cedula(Paraguayan I.D.) in about three weeks, then Kitty is going to apply for the visa soon afterward so we can visit back home.  Hopefully soon I will have more to share. Bye!

How I am doing

Sorry for so long without another update. I have been sick off and on, mostly do to the weather, and so has Kitty. Actually, she just got out of the hospital with a severe throat infection, and is taking antibiotics. So let me see, what has happened. We went out to a nice Mexican Restaurant one night, had the Assembly in Spanish, and it was nice, although I didn't understand that much of it, The people were very friendly though. Most Latin Americans are. I also went to my brother and sister in law's house in Luque, and had a nice time. Let me see, what else? We went to see "The Avengers" in 3d, and it was really nice. Also, we had 3 black Fridays here, but we only went to 2 of them. I bought a new Monitor and a Nice electric oven. All we have here is gas otherwise. I am teaching history here to Kitty's class, and doing language practice, and  I like it alot. Also, I am teaching English to my first student now, twice a week, and It is great! I feel like I am doing something really nice. And he lives next-store. The family doesn't pay the best, but Some of the students I get will be able to pay alot more. I have been trying to get more time in field service, and sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. I am sick alot unfortunately, due to all the dust in the air and on the street, and me being allergic to dust mites. But I got twelve hours last month, so i guess that is pretty good. I am finally starting to fit in here I think. Learning more Spanish, and feeling less like a Gringo. Maybe I will make it here after all :)
