Panama Jungle

Image
These past 2 weeks were crazy and absolutely flew by! They were certainly filled with many miracles and special experiences. Here's a quick recap!      -Exchanges with the Arizona Boys, Elder Tilgman and Elder Allen! They came out with me and they are killer missionaries y echan mucho fuego     -Trio life again because elder Crandalls comp got bit by a dog as well and had to get sent home for a couple weeks!     -Went on a hike and visited a waterfall with the district in Boquete. There's nothing better than exploring a jungle in the middle of Panama and teaching the Restored Gospel. Man, the mission truly is the best 2 years!!     -Manuela got baptized! She is the older sister of Francisco who got baptized about 2 months ago. It was a special and joyous moment for both of them, and I am so grateful and blessed to be apart of it     Spiritual Thought: "And I give unto you a commandment that ye shall do these things. And if ye shall ...

Hola buenos días familia y amigos. ¿Cómo va todo?     It was a solid week working in the Lord's work; finding, teaching, and even baptizing! Here's what happened this week!     -Went up to Volcán which is a town in the mountains closer to the border of Costa Rica for a little exchange with the Elders! It's pretty chilly up there! What a blessing it was to escape the panama heat haha     -Had MLC in Panama City! It was probably my favorite one yet as we talked heavily on goals and our vision for the mission. We had a big council with President about what the Lord wants.      -Before hopping on the bus back to David, I ran into the 2 brothers, Abraham & Aaron, who got baptized in my first area!! They're so much taller now! It was such a joyous moment.      -Yesterday Itzy got baptized!! Her mom, sister, and niece aren't members and they also came to church before the baptism! Ever since we met them 2 months ago, I have seen t...

Hey everyone! It was a pretty sweet week out here in the country of Chiriquí up near Costa Rica! Here are some cool experiences...     -Went on exchanges in San Felix with Elder Hansen who was one of the 25 elders that came out to Panamá with me! San Felix is a little town in the mountains filled with villages, huts, and indigenous tribes. Panama is sick because every province is just a completely different culture. Here in Chiriquí live the Nube people who speak a different language and the women wear traditional, colorful dresses. Anyways, we hiked up a mountain to visit a few member families! Oh man, it was tough! It was totally worth it though because the view was absolutely beautiful and they were all so happy to see 2 tall gringos haha. I thought it was so cool that there are members that live way up there!      -Yesterday's testimony meeting was amazing. 2 converts(William De Gracia & Francisco Miranda) bore their testimony and wow, it was a really co...
