Ate An Iguana

Hey everybody! I hope you're all doing well and had a great week. This week was probably one of the craziest weeks in the mission yet! Here's a recap!

 

 

We had transfers and my comp Elder Medina got put into the office so I received a new comp, Elder Lewis. He's from Utah and he's like 6'6. He's a giant hahaha. He's a baller and his birthday is in august as well so we're pumped to be together. He came over from Volcan Friday and the next day we had to go to the bus station at 4am to help the 15 missionaries who are new to the interior unload and find the buses to travel to their areas.

 

 

Before transfer day, a family that we are teaching invited my comp and I to eat Iguana that they found and cooked up. Not gonna lie, it wasn't too bad. It was super chewy and tasted like chicken. But Imagining a big colorful Iguana in my head made it harder to enjoy and it didn't help either that we saw one cross the street right after.

 

 

On Saturday, Eira and William De Gracia got baptized and confirmed a member of the church Sunday! It was a beautiful baptism service filled with many members! Afterwards we celebrated with a Brindis which is a little party with food here in panama.

 

 

That's all I got for this week folks! I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity and blessing that I have to be a missionary during this time to help the children of God come unto Christ and bring less active members back into the fold. Remember to humble yourselves before God every day and rely on Him and the atonement of his son Jesus Christ. You will be strengthened and blessed as you do so and as you learn to trust Heavenly Father with all your heart. 

 

 

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

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...
