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 world. I have this great blessing to share the knowledge, hope, and joy that I have that comes from this Gospel to families in Panama. There is not anything else that I would rather be doing than participating in this great work of the Lord. 



With that being said, Elder Budge and I were blessed to be able to see progress with a few of our friends! Here's a highlights:

- Alberto and Maria came to church and they are super excited for their baptism. It's best seeing their happy faces every time we visit throughout the week. On Sunday, Alberto said "So where are you guys baptizing me?" hahaha so we showed him the baptismal font and showed a video. 

- Flor Casto also came to church! We had been trying to get here for awhile and she finally came!

- Ingrid had her baptism and she was finally confirmed!

- We met a lot of less active members and families which led to 3 dinners last night and one of those members had a pet sloth

- This morning we went on a hike with the new zone and it was remarkable. It was nice feeling a bit chilly



Catch ya next week


 

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...
