14 May 2012


Well first off Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom´s who will be getting this! I hope you all had a great day!

This week was great down here! A little bit of snow actually fell here this weekend.... ha Just kidding but we had a Baptism! We´ve been teaching this girl Jenifer and her grandmother Ludia for the past couple of weeks and on Saturday Jenifer got baptized! It was so awesome to see her do this covenant with the Lord and she was super excited about getting baptized! Then yesterday she received the Holy Ghost and you could tell that her whole countenance just changed it was awesome. She´s super happy and I pray that she´ll continue in this path she´s entered.

Yesterday we also had a really cool surprise while we were at church. One of the families that we´ve been teaching lately came to church! We´ve only taught them a few times but every time we go they are super positive! But a lot of times they have to work on Sunday’s so they aren´t always able to come to church. They were supposed to be working yesterday but for some reason they didn´t have to work yesterday and they came to church and loved it! it was so awesome!

This week we had to go in to Panama City so that my Comp could renew his visa and while we were there we ran into a couple of Americans. it was weird to be talking with them in English and I found out that one of the couples we met have lived here for over a year and neither of them have picked up on Spanish still. Another family we met didn´t know a lick of Spanish and were having some problems because the people here don´t know English so they asked me if I could go translate for them ha it was so cool being able to do that! It was a pretty awesome experience because it showed me how much God blesses us with the Gift of Tongues to be able to learn the language so fast.

This weekend we have another baptism planned which we´re praying will go through so it should another great week!

Thank you all for everything I hope you all have a great week!
