Los 4 Fantásticos

Hey family and friends, ¿cómo estamos??

I gotta apologize for not sending out an email last week! These past 2 weeks have just been insanely busy, crazy, hard but so very fulfilling and most importantly fun. 

 

 

This entire week has been occupied by protests in Panama, especially here in Chiriqui due to the gasoline problem. The area of San Felix became dangerous super quickly so the elders came out to our area last pday and have been working with my comp and I here in David all week. And that explains the title of the email. We had a very successful week of finding, teaching, and even baptizing! With the energetic, powerful, and faithful elders of San Felix, we were able to find 18 new people, teach tons of families, and baptize our friends Keira De Gracia and a somewhat famous singer here in the interior of Panamá. Her name is Migdalia Lezcano and she even sang at her baptism! How cool is that?? Elder Medina said "esta semana estábamos los 4 fanáticos." In english, "we were the fantastic 4" hahaha. Yes it was an amazing week full of miracles and success in the Lord's work but we couldn't have done it without the elders of San Felix and we definitely couldn't have done it without the guidance, help, and power of God.

 

 

Truthfully, I thought it was going to be a rough week with everything that is going down in Chiriquí. On top of that, Satan was working real hard on Migdalia to not enter on the covenant path. But the Lord provided a way. He always provides a way especially in this Great and Marvelous Work. Remember that! Trust Heavenly Father and trust His timing. In this life, we are going to go through hard times and afflictions. There's no doubt, but I also have no doubt that the Lord does visit us during these times. Be patient. Like my loving and dear Mother says, "everything has a way of working out." I have always admired these loothing words; it is SO true. The blessings will come. President Russell M. Nelson said "we should be grateful for our trials' ' because trials help us to learn, grow, and change for the better. During these times of trial, focus on doing what your Heavenly Father wants you to do and He will bless you. Keep that in mind folks.

 

 

I love you all heaps and I hope you're all doing well

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...
