The Best Two Years

Here it is, the final one. My mission has come to a stop, and it's so hard to believe. But now I can officially say that it has been the best 2 years. As I write my last email, ponder, and reflect, my heart is filled with many emotions and feelings.


My mission has been the greatest experience I have ever had. It's impossible to describe how much it has meant to me. The mission has shaped me into a lifelong disciple of Jesus Christ. I am forever thankful for my mission because now I have a stronger, immovable testimony and a greater appreciation for the restored church and gospel of Jesus Christ. Nothing else has brought me greater joy and satisfaction than helping people in Panama obtain this very knowledge and building God's kingdom on the earth as the Lord's servant.



One last miracle moment: Saturday was an unforgettable day. We had a Tarde Blanca en la Cabima, and 4 of our amiguitos were baptized: Juan David Arrocha, Jorge Elias Arrocha, Angel Muñoz, and Daniel Muñoz. With the Lord's divine help and constant guidance, we were able to reactivate Leo Muñoz. He then received the priesthood and baptized his two younger brothers! It was the coolest thing I have ever seen.



I admire Leo and his example for his younger brothers big time because he has set the pace and prepared the way for them, like my older brothers, Josh and Michael, have done for me.



I bear testimony that Jesus Christ lives. He is my King, my Savior, Redeemer, and big brother. Through Him and His atonement, we can be cleansed from sin, overcome our adversities in life, and receive peace and eternal joy!



I love you all so much, and I'm grateful for your support over the past two years! I will be giving my homecoming talk on August 13th. The invitation goes out to everyone!



Nos vemos pronto,



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...
