Opa, ¿Cómo vai vocé?
Well, changes. So I´m no longer in Yverá, and I´m not a zone leader anymore either! Instead, I´m training!! That was awesome, I´m super excited for that, I was a ZL for forever. But yeah, it was good that I was training, because I probably wouldn´t have met E. Adamson, cause he went wayyyyy out Lejos to Pedro Juan Caballero, a city out on the border of Brazil. Luckily I was training though, so now I get to go out and work with him everyday. That´s right baby, I´m opening an area in Pedro Juan, a little branch called Rama 2 (´Branch 2´), and I´m training the other New Yorker! I couldn´t believe it when I heard, the other Elders back in my old house, E. Gage and E. Hill, both knew of E. Adamson by some way or another, and they were teasing me that I was so old as a ZL that I was just gonna drop down and train him, and it totally came true. It´s amazing how small this world is, let me tell you! So now I´m just a District Leader, but we´re living with the ZLs out here while we look for a house to live in, one of whom is E. Reid, from the MTC, so that is awesome, I love that guy.
It´s funny how I have some weird traditions in the mission though. Both times, I trained the day before a major holiday and spent the whole day on a bus to get out to my area in the zona Lejos, and so my childrens´ first day in the field was a major holiday, Christmas the first time and Thanksgiving this time. And I´ll have spent both my Christmases in the mission while training. We´re right on the border of Brazil, so I´m dealing a lot with Portuguese again, luckily I had plenty of training in Saltos, and this time around I understand just about everything and am speaking a lot more. I really love the language, I want to be able to speak it fairly fluently by the time I get home.
The branch is in ruins, but don´t you worry, E. Adamson and I are going to get things back in shape in no time. On Sunday there was a total of 15 people in the building, including the 3 investigators and the 3 kids under 8 that came... so basically just like Saltos when I showed up out there. There are a couple amazing members though (they´d have to be to keep going in situations like that) who are helping us out quite a bit, and we have some awesome investigators right now that we´re working with who are super excited for everything. I´m really excited for the change up of the routine, and E. Adamson is a stud, he already basically speaks Spanish, he just runs into a lot of trouble with the Portuguese and the Guaraní, which we have to deal with quite a bit out here too. It´s such a melting pot here, the people just mix those three languages together, and it's amazing but I understand it all. I´ve really fallen in love with foreign languages, I´d love to keep learning more after the mission.
Well, I don´t have much time today, but it sounds like everyone is doing awesome, and I love you all a ton. Sis. Wade said she´d find out what happened to that paper, and I´ll see her on Wednesday so I´ll check up on it again. I don´t have a phone yet out here so I can´t call her easily and remind her. Thanks for all the support.
Love,
Elder Dennis
Tracie here - just a fun fact: the new missionary that Josh is training grew up in the Albany NY Stake. He and Haley went on a few dates when they were seniors in high school. We knew he got called to the same mission as Josh and were thinking that it would be pretty neat if Josh got to train him - pretty cool that it actually happened :)

Well, once again, I have to write everyone without the bit of information that everyone wants. We still haven’t heard as far as changes go, so we’re all still pretty anxious here in the mission. But it was weird, because the kids going home this change headed into the office this morning to do the whole good bye stuff with Pres. Wade, and they’ll be taking off tomorrow to be home in time for Thanksgiving. I hope the family is all happy and excited to be at Grandma’s house, I got a happy Thanksgiving card from her today, and all I can say is that I’m missing her amazing meals that she is famous for. I totally took that food for granted before, but let me tell you, the next Thanksgiving, we’re totally going to Grandma’s house again, because I’m not gonna miss out after two years of nothing haha. The people here don’t even know what Thanksgiving is… it’s so weird.
Last night, it was Elder Guest’s last night, because he went into the office this morning, so as a zone we got together and had a sleep over and monopoly party to send him off haha, it was pretty fun, plus I got to sleep in air conditioning, because we went over to their fancy house. His companion, Elder Rosales, from Ecuador, is with me and my companion until Wednesday, when the real changes will take place. So it’ll be weird being in a trio for a day. Changes should be coming later tonight, and I’m not gonna lie, I kind of want to leave. Actually I really want to leave my area. I love the members, and we’re starting to bring a couple inactive families back to church, but the work is so slow and we just don’t have any investigators who are really progressing. We busted our butts this change, but we haven’t seen much fruits for our labors. This area has just kind of killed my energy for the work, which I feel bad saying, because I love getting out and sharing this great message with the people, but it’s just like throwing pearls before swine, because everyone takes it for granted.
I hear that there’s lots of snow this year, is that just out west, or does Upstate have quite a bit as well? We are dying of heat down here, it hits the 100’s just about every day, like 38 C. It’s impressive, because it’s just like the heat at home, nice and humid! It sucks to have to wear a shirt and tie out to work every day, and the house is just an oven, I have to sleep with the fan right up against my bed, without any sheets to even be able to relax. Two seconds without a fan blowing on you and your whole body just begins to sweat profusely.
I’m so jealous I’m not around to be checking out all these cars and helping Dad make a decision, but that TSX is a pretty sweet car, I remember that from all the way back when I was home. And my poor Honda! That thing has been through so much, and yet it always seems like the Mercury takes a lot too, but I’ve never heard of us fixing that body up hahaha. That thing is a tank though, I bet the little Honda didn’t do hardly anything to it.
But this Adamson kid is pretty popular! He dated my sister, is the neighbor of Elder Hill’s uncle, and the friend of Elder Gage’s non-member girlfriend who is going to school in Boston… so basically the whole house knows the kid some way or another. I’m pretty interested in meeting him. Right now he’s traveling on his way down here. That poor kid, if only he knew what he was getting himself into hahaha. Just kidding, I love it down here.
I’ll call up Sister Wade right after this to make sure that little paper gets sent, sorry to keep ya’ll waiting. I get to talk to you guys in a month. Love ya,

Hey family,
Alright Haley, I can’t help it if I live half-way around the world and Mom loves me enough to send me Christmas goodies hahaha. So stop your whining. In normal circumstances, I would totally agree with you, but this is an emergency, okay! But you wanna know what’s driving me out of my mind? Here in Paraguay, they don’t have the Thanksgiving Day, let alone in November, so they just pull out all of the Christmas stuff after Halloween! It’s so annoying! But I have never heard anything about customs fees here in Paraguay, so I’m pretty sure it doesn’t exist, and some missionaries get like 10 packages a day. Not even exaggerating... So I’m sure the mission would have mentioned something if the mission had to pay anything to get them out of customs. I would hate to be in Argentina if that's the case.
I talked to Sister Wade, and she was going to take care of everything and I signed my part of the paper, and she was going to have Pres. Wade sign it and then fax it in, so I’ll give her a call after this to ask what’s up with that. Everything should be good to go, I probably just have to remind her to get that sent off. Elder Hill’s mom mentioned that you sent that photo to her, so once again the mothers have creeped out the missionaries. Technology is not a good thing in parents’ hands. Changes are tough to call, especially a week in advance. Sometimes you wake up with the feeling of what’s going to happen the day of, that’s what usually happens to me. There’s a good possibility that I stay with Elder Comte this change as well, but I could also easily see myself going to a different zone. Anyway I look at it, I can’t see myself ‘dying’ here in Yvera, and I’m pretty sure I’ll be staying a zone leader this change. As for the last one, eight changes as a zone leader is a long time, so that last one I might drop down just to train, but that’s too far out to call right now. It all depends on how the leadership of the mission is when that change comes around.
I could totally see you as the seminary teacher mom, you always got up early. That’s still the one thing that bothers me more than anything, you early birds. I can’t stand peppiness the first thing in the morning. But this week was pretty awesome, it was pretty eventful, let me tell you. Pres. Wade went out with us to work for about 3 hours on Tuesday, and that was awesome. We just did a bunch of contacts and taught some lessons, it was great to learn from him. He doesn’t change out in the street with the people from when he’s talking to us, and he’s such a great guy, he brought little candies for all the little kids and people we taught and gave away a tie to less active member who we’re trying to get out to church again. Then on Thursday, Pres. and Sister Wade came to inspect the houses of the zone and to have the interviews with President that we get once a change, so they were mixing things up on us, normally we just get together at the Stake Center and have interviews their. So we spent all of Wednesday night and Thursday morning cleaning our house like crazy, so it’s a lot nicer now hahaha. I went out with Pres. and Sister Wade Thursday to show them where all the houses of the zone were, and my comp did a split with a youth in the ward. It was awesome to have some more one on one time with the two of them, they are such great people!
But then Thursday night, the power went out for like twenty minutes, and we found out later that it was ALL of Paraguay and half of Brazil! But wow, it was scary, it cut off at like 9.10, and we were walking home, and then all the lights go out. And let me tell you, Paraguay is not a safe place to have the lights go out. At first it was alright because the full moon was out, but after like 4 minutes, it was as if the lights went out again! But it was just the moon going behind the clouds. THEN it was scary, we had to go by the light of the cell phone, and everyone on the streets was scared, because they know how dangerous Paraguay is, and they were always staying away from other cell phone lights. We got to the house just fine, and Elder Gage and Elder Hill showed up about the same time, and we called everyone in the zone to make sure they were okay, and luckily nothing happened, and the lights came on like 10 minutes later. Whew, that was fun.
But yeah, that was the exciting week. Hopefully we have a wedding and a baptism this week, so pray for us. Love ya lots,

Hey there,
I always have such a hard time trying to figure out what salutation to use… I think its the hardest part of my letter hahaha. This week the primary had the special program in Sacrament meeting as well, and oh man, I wish you guys could just see this stuff. It’s so horrible its hilarious. Just try to imagine what it could possibly be like down here... they don’t even have someone who can play the piano to attempt to keep the kids on key... yeah, it’s pretty bad. I’m glad Cole did good this year though, that little guy is a stud, he’s going to be the best of us Dennis kids.
I wish I could go visit the temple whenever I wanted. The once every six months is definitely not often enough for me. I love seeing pictures of the Boston temple now. I’ve only ever seen it once in person, but I love that temple just because it was the first time I got to visit a temple other than to do baptisms. The temple truly is just the whole vision and meaning of why we’re here doing what we do, just to give these people that eternal family. Its something that hardly anyone truly understands down here, the importance and significance that the temple truly can have on their lives. Just knowing that I’ll be with the little man for forever is awe inspiring to me. Oh yeah, being with the rest of you will be cool too... hahaha just kidding, I love all of yins.
Speaking of counting down days though, tomorrow starts the hundred day countdown til yours truly will get to step foot on American soil again hahaha. Don’t worry though, I’m not counting, I was just informed today by one of the guys in my group. But today was pretty awesome, we had a Council Meeting with President Wade and then we went as the ZLs to visit the Museum of South American Soccer Association. I sent you a photo of the outside. Things are still going pretty tough here in Yvera, but I love my companion, and we’re doing our best to try and get things going, but the blessings for our efforts are taking a little while to get here haha. But todays meeting helped me out a little bit with some ideas as to what we can do to pick things up a bit. It’s weird though, I realized today that I’m the oldest ZL in the mission. In fact, at the end of this change I’ll have the same amount of time as a ZL as I did as a non ZL. Wow. The mission is flying by!
But as far as a Christmas package... how about an iPhone? When I get home? hahaha. Honestly I don’t have any requests, I don’t even really need a package... if its anything other than food it’ll just be more weight in my suitcases or will just be left here in Paraguay a month later. And before you get excited, don’t buy me garments or anything to have for me when I get home. Mine are all in pretty good shape still, and I think I’m going to want to get a different kind when I get home. Haha I can just see you getting antsy and we’d end up with a bunch of extra stuff on our hands.
But hey, I love you all, thanks for all of the support!
Love,

Hey there,
So Halloween was spent working really hard and putting it all out on the line to get people ready to go to church. Halloween as we know it in the states doesn’t exist down here, but most people have an idea of what we do, because of movies and stuff. Here they just go out and party in masks or something like that, and its fun, but we don’t see that side of life down here, so it didn’t really effect us. I don’t know, as a missionary holidays just don’t exist. Birthdays, Halloween, Easter, Thanksgiving... they’re all just normal days down here. The only thing that can kind of be thought of as a holiday is Christmas, because you don’t really do anything, just visit cool members or something. But there’s no family or american food or any of standard things that denote ‘Christmas’ for us. But hardly anyone went to church by the way... things are going tough right now.
One thing I’ve really come to appreciate on my mission is family, because like they say, you don’t really know how important something is to you until its gone. Luckily I’ll be getting you guys back haha, but it’s really hit me these past couple weeks just the weight of this message we are trying to just give away to these people, and they just turn it down. We’re trying to give them an eternal family, the blessings of being sealed together for the eternities. I watched the church movie ‘Between Heaven and Earth’ by the church, and it talks about temples, and what other religious leaders and scholars have to say about it last night, and it was pretty powerful. But if you could see how these people just pass day after day and don’t even have direction in life. We pass old old old people in the streets and its just like, why don’t you just die already? What do you really have to live for? They just wake up, work, drink beer, and sleep again. That is the Paraguayan life. It’s so awesome when you can see meaning come into their lives though. Thats what makes it all worth it, that’s why we got out everyday in 100 degree weather and get rejected, ridiculed, mocked and yelled at. Cause in the end, it’s all worth it.
Sounds like the family is having fun with Grandpa Bob out there though, so that's cool. I love that guy. You people and your history sights though, I never would’ve guessed hahaha. And you’re planning your funerals already... no comment. But I enjoyed the photos of the costumes! Robyn busting out the Princess Peach, and the little Indiana Jones looked awesome, I wish I could have been there. Can you believe it was over TWO years ago that I dressed up as the scare crow in the Trunk or Treat thing at the church and scared all the little kids while they reached in to the trunk for the candy? That was the last Halloween memory I have. I don’t even have a clue as to what happened last year, I don’t remember it at all. It sucks that I won’t be home til all the holidays pass. But whatevs, I only have 15 weeks left here in Paraguay. When you put it that way it feels like nothing, fetch, I gotta get working!
But I’m proud of you guys having Paige move in.. to my room.... nah just kidding, that really is awesome. Not gonna lie mom, I don’t want to make you feel bad, but that never felt like my room. I know you tried your best, but it was never the same to me. Tell Paige I think she’s a stud for everything she’s doing to follow the truth, I respect that more than anything anyone can do in this life. She’s kind of like that ‘mystery girl’ to me too, and I’m kind of disappointed I won’t even meet her when I get home, I feel like she’s part of the family already. I haven’t even seen a picture of her or anything, I’ve just heard you talk about her, but it sounds like she fits right in to our crazy family. I love you all more than you know. And I miss my electric guitar...
Love ya,
