Miracles

It was a week filled with miracles. We have been focusing on working with members even more and talking to EVERYONE. Elder Garrett and I gave it our all and the Lord provided. He always provides and He always will!

 

 

-We had Zone Conference which was very inspiring and exciting as always. President Forsberg talked about how God is a God of Miracles. He always has been and He always will be. It's just up to our faith to see them.

 

 

-We got an Adventist couple to come to church! That was for sure one of the biggest miracles I have seen in the mission. For those that don't know, the sabbath days for adventists are Saturdays. We had been teaching them since we met them in the street about 3 weeks ago, and we knew that getting them to church would be the hardest challenge. But as we taught them the Restoration and Plan of Salvation, simply and clearly, they were able to feel the spirit and gain a better understanding of God's plan and His Gospel. Juan(the husband) began to cry because we were able to answer questions that he had for 40 years. I was further able to recognize that as missionaries, we truly are called of God and have the authority to help people, resolve doubts that they may have, and change their lives with the power of the Holy Ghost. At first, Juan tried teaching us and he wouldn't stop talking. It was super hard to teach him at first, but as we did, the Holy Ghost was able to touch his heart and humble him. He stopped talking as much and began to listen more. We invited him and his wife to church and they came. Huge miracle. 

 

 

-Elder Garrett and I have been trusting the Book of Mormon a lot more recently and the power that it holds in conversion. Nadia told us that she believes that the Book of Mormon is true so we explained that the Book of Mormon is the key stone to our religion. If it's true then the church is true. We invited her to get baptized for like the 10th time and she accepted! I was shocked.  We have been working with her since my first transfer. I'm grateful for my comp and his great faith. She will be baptized this Friday!

 

 

- Another quick miracle: Some members took us out to TGI Friday's and I ate a huge burger! I definitely felt like I was in the states as that was my first time in a restaurant in more than a year!

 

 

Mormon 9:15 

"...God has not ceased to be a God of miracles." 

 

 

I love you all so much and I'm grateful for your support and prayers. Let me know how you're all doing!

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...
