Nos Vemos Guna Yala

Hey everyone, it's been a few weeks! I hope all is well and that you all enjoyed General Conference. What a spiritual experience it was receiving revelation and finding peace from the words of our prophet. I testify that his words are truly from our loving Father in Heaven.



After three unbelievable months serving in the magical and beautiful islands of Guna Yala, I returned back to the mainland of Panamá this past week. I am going to miss those indigenous people tremendously; they will always hold a special place in my heart. Luckily, there are tons of Kunas that live in my new area so I can still contact and teach a bit in their language! I will never forget the experiences, trials, and accomplishments, and everything that I learned from my time serving in Guna Yala. The experiences I had there changed me and helped me grow into a better person and servant of the Lord.



Elder Roylance and I finished our time serving together on a high note as our 3 amigos William, Yordiel, and Kevin were baptized! We couldn't have had the success that we had without the Lord who was helping and guiding us along the way. 



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...
