The Lord Will Provide!

Image
What's up guys! How is everything going! This week was pretty solid! We received the absolute best news that Elder Stevenson is coming down to Panama on March 19th to speak to the missionaries! I'm beyond stoked to be able to hear from an Apostle of the Lord to receive revelation on missionary work and to get spiritually swole! This week Elder Budge and I were on that Plan of Salvation grind which is my favorite lesson to teach. It brings me great joy knowing that our words about families and eternal life are very comforting to the people we teach, especially when the spirit is so strong! We had the chance to teach a family of like 8 people about this plan that God has for us! Afterwards they were begging for us to do magic tricks haha. They told us that next time we come over they will have arroz con leche for us so you already know that i'm excited. The Lord will alway provide folks. This week the zone had an activity called "El Gran Viaje.'' All of the compa...

6 Months!

¡Que lo Que! How is everybody doing??  Another super good week out here in El Progreso! I hit 6 months this week as a missionary and 4 1/2 months here in the field! Time is starting to pick up and fly by, it's crazy.  This week we saw lots of miracles! Lots of those miracles were small but they sure do make a huge difference. Some of those miracles included a few seconds of breeze and a tiny bit of shade under those clouds, free rides from random people up a hill, or even getting duros(popsicles) from the natives here. These moments made the week easier to get by! Elder Budge and I ran to the beach for our morning workouts, and we also found a super pretty spot In Puerto Camito after our lesson with Roman! We taught him the commandment of keeping the Sabbath Day Holy using the bible. He loves the bible so we did what he wanted and laid straight doctrine down. The words were pretty strong and it definitely hit him haha. After District Council, we brought half the zone to come g...

V-Day

Happy Superbowl weekend, Valentines day, and Happy late Birthday to my momma! I have always loved this time of year ever since I was a little because February holds the Superbowl which is the most viewed sport's game in the whole world; my family gets to celebrate it with my mom's birthday too! So if you haven't wished her a happy birthday yet, you should do it, and it's not too late! I'm beyond thankful for her and everything that she does for me. She and my dad are the reason why my siblings and I are so close, and how we have our hobbies and accomplishments because no matter what, we always had her support. She is kind, selfless, thoughtful, strong, spiritual, and beautiful. She has taught me the importance of family and now I get to share how families can be blessed like mine has been through the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Heavenly Fathers plan for us. Of course I miss my family and also a little bit of football, but I wouldn't want to change it for the worl...

Week 1 With My New Brother

¡Que Xopa!  This week was super solid. My new comp, Elder Budge, is a stud and he just wants to work so you already know I am super happy. We have a ton in common, it's crazy, so I am stoked for this transfer with him. He's already one of my best friends! We focused heavily on the members this week to get to know them more. We had a couple lessons with members that were super successful- 2 with priests who are preparing to serve a mission! Their names are Harold and Demetrio and they are gonna be killer missionaries.  Alberto y Maria: We have had 2 lessons with them this week after we had our first with them on Sunday. We taught the Restoration and also the importance of marriage. They are not married but they want to get married and baptized! So right now, thats our project. We gotta figure out how to get people married here in Panama. With your prayers and the help of the members in our branch, we can get it done! They also came to church yesterday so that was the biggest mi...
