Apostle Of The Lord

Heyyyy what's up everybody! This week was a sweet one, and we saw quite a few miracles. To start off, I gotta point out that Elder Gary E. Stevenson came to our mission to speak to all the missionaries! - By far one of the coolest experiences I have ever had. Every missionary in the mission was there too which was awesome being able to see some of my buddies. Elder Taylor from the seventy was there too because he led over the Central America missions. Honestly, they are super funny and were cracking jokes haha. It was incredible listening to the words of an Apostle of God especially because he was talking specifically to us and how we can make this mission more successful. His words were SO powerful and the spirit was SO strong. It was super cool listening to some of the stories that he shared. One of those stories takes place in New York City in a taxi cab traveling from the Manhattan Temple to the airport. He figured that he had 45 min sitting in a car with a taxi driver so the first thing he thought of was teaching lesson 1: The restoration, which takes about 45 minutes to share. When they arrived at the airport, he bore his testimony that what he had said was true and they were both in tears. Testimonies are so simple, yet so strong! Not only can bearing a testimony strengthen the hope and faith of somebody else but it will also strengthen your own testimony of the church. I challenge you all to bear your testimony! You don't have to be a missionary to help gather Israel. You can help bring souls unto Christ in natural ways. 



One of the miracles that Elder Budge and I experienced was yesterday at church. This miracle started a few weeks ago when we were playing a little bit of soccer in the street with a couple kids. One of those boys is named Enrique and we have known him since I arrived here. Another boy named James is a member of the church but they didn't know each other, so we introduced them to each other. A few days later, we were walking and we saw them playing together! We told James that he should bring Enrique to church. Yesterday after the sacrament meeting ended, James and Enrique came running up to us! I was shocked, haha. Miracle. James is a stud. He's only 11 years old and he's inviting people to church. Everyone needs to be like James. 



Love you all and I'm grateful for your support. Let me know how you guys are all doing!



Siga firmes,

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

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...
