Rain Floods & Transfers

Hola a todos, ¿Cómo estamos?

 

 

It was another week full of miracles and blessings here in Colón!

 

 

We received transfer news and after 1 transfer in Barriada Kuna, I'll be heading all the way out to the city of David which is in the Province of Chiquiri on the far east side of Panama bordering Costa Rica. My new comp is Elder Medina and I'll be meeting him tomorrow. I'm sad to leave behind the strong relationships that I had with the members and friends but I know that this is the Lord's plan and I'm excited to meet and serve the people of David.

 

 

Zone Conference was spiritual and powerful. President and Sister Garrett shared their last words and testimonies as they're getting ready to hand the baton off to the next Mission President and his wife. Crazy stuff is happening! The Conference was centered on cultivating and setting the culture of the Panama Mission- Cultura de Cristo. The APs gave a remarkable training about how to be a more happy and successful Missionary. I'm pumped to be able to apply it in my next area, the rest of my mission, and the rest of my life. It is when we're obedient to God's commandments and the ordinances and covenants of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that we are able to find happiness, peace, joy, and hope in our life. I invite you all to set the culture in your life and have Christ centered in it.

 

 

One of the miracles we experienced was this past weekend with our friend Britany! She is super humble and willing to learn more about the Church even though she is only 15 years old. On Saturday we had a lesson about the Gospel of Jesus Christ focusing on faith, baptism, and the proper authority. The next day we picked her up and walked to church! Her little sister even came and they both loved it! Later in the afternoon we passed by their house to read 3 Nephi 11 and the spirit was so strong. We invited her to follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized and she said yes! Her words exactly, "sí sería chevere." She will be getting baptized on July 2nd! What an example she is to her sisters and her aunt! I have learnt that the Lord blesses us with his children who are ready as we stay obedient and diligent to His great and marvelous work. 

 

 

That's all for this week fam! I hope you all have an amazing 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...
