I like it here

Hey Family,
I'm doing good this week. We did service on Saturday. We painted Nancy's house. (She is the one that lives in the smallest house in the world with 4 kids and one on the way.) Luckily, dad made me work with him at home so I knew what I was doing. Elder valencia didn't have a clue. he looked like he lived in Peru. Ha ha Me and my comp did most of the work. We get to paint another house coming up, too. This one we have to do a good job because it is a little nicer home. I give my best always. I just have to make up for Valencia and his lack of skill. Oh well, we are in this together. We had a baptism on Sunday for Nancy's son. It isn't a convert baptism. He just turned 8. But we went because Nancy is a recent convert and asked my comp to babtize him. We have had a lot of member help lately. With that, we see more success. They seem to connect with the people a little better then we can. So if the missionaries ask if you can help with anything food, referrals, service stuff please help them. It makes an incredible difference. We met a boy named Juan (member refferal). He is golden. He wasn't looking for anything, but he is sincere and likes to learn. He came to church and really liked it. He asked us to talk to his mom to see if it was ok that we keep coming over to teach him. She said yes and we are going to do that today. (See what good comes from the members? :) I'm getting really close with the people here. I can't always understand everything, but I can joke with them. I'm starting to get relaxed around them, but still be a missionary. I didn't like looking like a stiff at first. Some of the investigators really like me and like to joke around with me. I love helping them. I love this work so much. I'm sorry that this isn't much longer. I don't have tons of time today. I love you all so much. Keep reading please. I just ask you to finish the Book of Mormon over the next 22 months. I'm doing it in a month so don't tell me that it isn't possible haha. I love you all so much, be safe. Sorr this email isn't really detailed. Ps. No word on my visa. I really don't care. I like it here. I'll let you know when I know something. The church is true. I know that through following Christ we can be strenghthened, blessed, and gain a testimony of this gospel. The atonement is real. I feel it. I feel Christ in my life strenghtening me. I know you can feel it too. Please strive to come clsoer to him. He is the way. He is the light in the darkness. I love you all lots.
Love your son and brother,
Elder Paskett
Ps send me pictures. I like to see what you are doing. Just a few here and there of anything and everything.
