Happy Valentine’s Day tomorrow everyone haha
This week was pretty good in the work down here! We did something this week that I’ve never heard about before but it actually turned out pretty well. On Wednesday all of the missionaries in the zone went up to this area called Boquete. There we met with the Branch President and some of the other members in the ward and they gave us a list of names of less active members and part member families within the ward. I guess there´s actually quite a bit of members who live up there but there assistance at church has been like in the 30s and 40s. So we went up and broke up and went and found these families and invited them back to church and then we went and found other families to invite to church.
The Branch President did this when he was in his mission in Nicaragua and they had a ton of success. In one month the mission baptized 501 people! So now we´re just waiting it out to see how well it worked. I’m sure that if we see a lot of success come from it we´ll start doing it more in the mission. Yesterday in church Elder Goodfellow and I talked with all of the Young Men in the ward and their leaders and we want to go out with all of them in a couple of weeks and do something kind of like what we did in Boquete with them. We have a super strong young men’s group right now so we´re praying that we´ll see success from it.
On Saturday we did something that my comp has been wanting to do his whole mission but hasn´t been able to do it until now. Ha he´s always wanted to kill a chicken to eat so on Saturday one of the family´s in the ward let him do it. Ha it was pretty interesting he was super nervous about it at first haha. After he killed it they make him pluck all the feathers and then cut it up too. They use like everything! Ha I think the only part they threw away was the head. Ha it was crazy but after we left the lady cooked it and we ate it for dinner that night haha. It actually tasted pretty good too.
Well I hope you all have a good week this week! Thank you for all your prayers and support!
Elder Westwood
