The Lord Will Provide!

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 companionship is invited by their investigators and less active members to the stake center to participate! It was a huge activity explaining the plan of salvation in a more fun way and in a way that everyone would understand! None of our investigators showed up but we did have some less active members attend which is even better!



We continue to see the Lord's hand as we have seen the gospel already blessing and changing the lives of Alberto, Maria, and Roman! They are huge examples to me, their friends, and their families!



The best part of the week is when we found a less active family from San Blas which is a group of islands in Panama! They speak a language called Guna Yala and they make sick art designs called mola. As of right now, she is making 2 of my ties into mola ties! I'll send pics of them next week!



Nos vemos,

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...
