Well this was another great week in Panamá just doing the Lord’s work!
This week we worked super hard again and had a lot of success come from it. I learned a ton this week from Elder Oliva which was great ha he’s an awesome elder and works hard which is awesome! Ha I think the thing that he’s helped me the most on is my Spanish, my last two changes I was with American companions and as a result my Spanish kind of dropped a little because we always talked in English ha I kinda regret that. But Elder Oliva doesn’t know very much English so it’s been fun helping him with that and him helping me with Spanish.
We found a ton of way positive people to teach this week too which was awesome. We found a lady who lived in another area of Panamá and was taking the lessons from the missionaries and even had a baptismal date but then she moved here and didn’t follow up with the missionaries here. But we found her and hopefully she’ll get baptized here soon! We just have to teach here a little more and see how things go. We also found a couple of families and while we were teaching them they had a ton of questions which they said that nobody could answer before with answers that seemed right to them but as we answered their questions it was like things fell right in to place. I love when that happens haha!
Yesterday we had stake conference which was sweet. Well actually, I think all stakes in Central America had stake conference yesterday. The church did a broadcast from Salt Lake City to all of the Central America countries. It was so sweet! President Packer presided and also other members of the quorum of the 70 spoke to us. They talked a lot about how fast the church is growing in Central America and how the members need to work on helping keep each other active. There are actually a ton of members here but unfortunately there are a lot that are inactive which is sad. But hopefully we’ll see a change in that here in the upcoming months!
Yesterday for my birthday one of the sister missionaries that’s in our ward made me a cake it was so good haha! It was kinda weird being away from home for my birthday but it was worth it because of the work I’m in right now! I love it!
Thank you all for everything!
