This week was such an awesome week in the work here in Panamá!
Since it was the last full week of the change we set some high goals to really push ourselves and to get some more things going in the area for next change. Up until last week we only had a few really positive investigators and we wanted to change that so that’s what we did. It’s amazing to see just how many people the Lord has prepared to hear the message of the gospel. We had some super spiritual experiences and are experiences that neither of us will forget!
It was kind of funny though. I’m not exactly sure how long the missionaries have been living in the house we’re in right now; if I was going to guess I’d say for a long time. The reason I say that is because most of the people that we found which were the most positive lived like on the same street as our house or just around the corner ha and almost all of them had never talked to the missionaries before.
We found this family of where this mom knows like perfect English, ha she actually has a super good accent too, and it’s probably the best English accent I’ve heard since I’ve been in Panamá. At first we taught the son and when we went back a few days later we were talking with the mom because he wasn’t there and she told us that he told her that he wanted us to start teaching him in English. Apparently he knows English pretty well, well he can understand it but he can’t speak it very well so we’re going to start teaching him in English and try and help him learn the language a little better.
This week we also had to go work with some of the sisters in our district since my comp is District Leader. We went up into the mountains and we came to this little village where a bunch of Indians live. One of the families we taught was a family of 9 people and they all lived in this little one room house which was probably 10´x10´. It was so crazy but they were so cool!
This week was awesome and hopefully we’ll be able to keep it up next change as well! Although we’re pretty sure my comp will have changes so hopefully my new comp and I can keep it up!
Thank you all for everything!
