This is it. My last week in the MTC, and I can’t believe it. I didn’t think that I would ever get into the field with all these zoom meetings. 



But here I am halfway through week 6/6! This week has been really good because we have been focusing on transitioning to the field. I am extremely thankful that I get to go to my actual assignment and live my dream ever since I was a little kid. Yesterday I finally received my flight itinerary. I leave this Monday at midnight! I’m flying from SLC and have a 4-hour layover in Atlanta, Georgia. From there, I fly to Panama City, Panama!! So it’ll be a total of 12 hours traveling all night and morning. It’ll be a long night but I’m so stoked.



To be honest I’m gonna miss being a missionary in Utah and feeling like a superhero. I remember always looking up to Elders who served in my home ward growing up. I always thought they were so cool, and I wanted to be just like them. It’s crazy that I’m a missionary now with kids looking up to me. Everywhere I go, kids are always pointing at me and saying hi to me haha. The highlight of my week was definitely on Saturday when BYU beat ASU. It was a crazy game and we came out on top. Online MTC can be pretty rough sometimes, but there are so many advantages, I love it. 



Here's a short and sweet scripture that I always think about. Mormon 8:22 - "For the eternal purposes of the Lord shall roll on until all his promises shall be fulfilled." This is what it's all about. This is the sole purpose of a missionary. I am beyond excited to do the Lord's work and help people get closer to reaching the Kingdom of God. 



¡Los amo todos y yo espero que tengan una semana fantástica!



Love, Elder Felt

Panamá Beats The US

Panamá beat the US in soccer, so everyone was going crazy—partying and drinking. We had a bunch of contacts with hombres borrachos in the streets. You know when a man's drunk when they start speaking to us in English, haha. Despite all the hombres borrachos and unmarried couples that we are teaching, the work is moving forward, and many miracles are happening here in Panamá! Elder Martínez and I have been working a ton with recent converts and part-member families. Doing so, we have seen lots of success. The Lord is certainly providing, and we are excited to see the fruits of our labors as we continue to work diligently in His Vineyard. Angel and Daniel, who are the younger brothers of Leo (who is now reactivating), came to church yesterday. They are set for baptism on the 29th of July. Here's a quote that I really like from a devotional I listened to from Elder and Sister Oaks: "Heavenly Father is more interested in our growth as a Disciple of Jesus Christ than He is in o...

Merry Christmas From San Blas

Image
Merry Christmas and Happy New year! I hope you are all enjoying this special and joyous time with your loved ones.      This season is by far my favorite time of year especially as a missionary. It's truly amazing being able to help others feel the Christmas spirit and remind them what it is all about- the birth, life, and atonement of our Savior, Jesus Christ.      About a week and a half ago, I received a call that I was being transferred. After the most incredible 7 months in David my time came to an end. It was hard to say goodbye to my dear friends but I'm looking forward to having new marvelous experiences in a new place. I will now be serving in the San Blas islands learning a new indigenous language called "Dulegaya."      Before coming out, the new San Blas elders and I spent a couple days preparing by buying food, our sandals, and our hammocks! And we also had a multi-zone Christmas Conference! The elders of Guna Yala(San Blas) sang...
