Vista Alegre Hace Historia

Hey family and friends! It's been a little while since the last time I reached out. It has been an eventful couple of weeks and my Elder Berumen Montoya and I have been super busy! There is nothing better than staying busy on the Lord's errand.



Last week our ward Vista Alegre made history! The new chapel building finally opened up and heaps of members came! 487 was the church attendance(including 20 amigos)! Usually wards in Panama have an average of 80 people attending church. It was a glorious day.



After church Pakiler was the first person to be baptized in the new chapel! His entire family who have been less active for quite some time even came! Now they have come to church for 2 straight weeks and look happier than ever! I love la familia Davis so much and I'm stoked for their desire to seguir delante en el evangelio and eventually enter the temple as a family. 



Navil and Aristides Pinto were baptized this past weekend! They wanted to follow the example of their uncle and grandma who are recent converts. 



"And whoso believeth in me, and is baptized, the same shall be saved; and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom of God." 

3 Nephi 11:33



I love being a servant of the Lord in Panamá and I love this Gospel. I know that the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is God's Kingdom on earth. 



Les quiero muchísimo



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

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...
