Bautismo De Santi

Hey family and friends!



I will be staying another transfer in Irgandi and Ukupa and I am getting a new companion! Elder Roylance is coming over from a different island to be my comp. He's one of my good mission buddies and he's a beast! We are super stoked to go to WORK.



This week Santi was baptized in Ukupa and the only active priest that we have, baptized him! It was awesome. Those 2 young men have a bright future and I hope they decide to go on a mission!



We had a super touching experience with one of our recent coverts, Adelfina. We were teaching her husband the message of the Restoration and we asked Adelfina how she came to know that the Book of Mormon is true. She said that all she needed to do was hold the book in her hand and read a couple of verses, and then she was touched by the Holy Ghost. The Book of Mormon is THAT powerful. She actually explained to us that she felt peace and comfort in her heart but not really knowing what it exactly was.We testified to both her and her husband, Adelcio, that those feelings are the Holy Ghost testifying of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. Not everyone receives an answer at the same time or even in the same way but if we have faith, a sincere heart, and real intention, we can always receive a witness from God. Most of these people cannot even read, so my soul was filled with joy when I was reminded that the power of the Holy Ghost can be felt without reading the book entirely.



I know with all my heart that the Book of Mormon is true. I know that is another testament of Jesus Christ and I know that Joseph Smith translated it by the power of God. “A man would get nearer to God by abiding by its [the Book of Mormon] precepts, than by any other book”

Have a great week everyone! Also Happy Birthday to my beautiful mama

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...
