Back to Normal (week 63)

Hey friends and fam!
     Wow week was alrite hahah but the bad news is it started.. Yup the rain season started last week and when it starts i don't think it ever ends. At this time last year it started too. it starts off with the most amount of water u have ever seen in ur life. Like were talkin river in the streets and u somehow can be inside a house and still get wet it makes no sense. So ya i will be in it until i get home, kinda sad but that's just how it is out here i panama. Other than that not much happened this week. Baptisms we had this week got pushed off till next week cus the fam went out of town and that was pretty sad. But we should be having em next week. Man also our english class took off, got tons of peeps in there and we make the class a ton of fun. Every saturday from 6-730. Ya so that's all i got for now area is chill and comp is chill. Changes next week so we will see what happens. Only changes six more times and shoooom. forgot my camera so yup another week without pics lo siento

I saw whales (week 62)

Hey friends and fam!

Wow well all is well out here in santa librada San miguelito. Sounds like everyone is doing big things back home…man, miss y’all tons.  Well as for me it was a pretty awesome week.  The area has grown on me a ton and although it is small, we somehow manage to find the best people for the gospel in the world. The members here are awesome and i will never forget the way this ward has treated us and how awesome and inviting they all have been. I will make sure to send pics with me and some members before i leave here. Wow SO we have been working hard here.  Even though we opened the area, we learned it pretty well (mostly because it’s small) and have been teaching tons of people. This weekend we had two baptisms, hermana rivas and jasson. They were both awesome and i am so lucky i had the opportunity to find them and teach them about the gospel.  Hma rivas is the first member in her family but jasson is what we call  (mango bajito)_ his family was inactive and we found them and reactivated them and baptised him.  So it was awesome and the other highlight is definitaly that we found an AWESOME kuna family.  I freaking love them so much and the fam rodriguez aready has a special place in my heart.  We found them tuesday and we already brought three of them to church and they have baptisms dates for this next sunday.  It was just a goal and maybe a little early but i will see if they are ready this week.  Well that’s all i got folks.  i forgot my adaptor but we have to send the baptism registros so i will go back to the crib and get it and send pics. Love u all!!!

Spring Break (week 61)



Hey friends and fam! 

    The week was good and wow i never can believe how fast time goes by its sooo crazy.  Like how is it Monday again?  I think the difference too is having your free-day on Monday, cus after today everything is just a blur.  Happy Easter everyone…well it was yesterday.. but its not like we celebrate it anyway down here in this mission hahaha…just a normal day.  But wow was i excited for conference this last weekend..wow i dont think i ever watched a full session from conference before my mission.. now i anticipate it months in advance hahah so ya this mission has made me wierd.  But it was an awesome conference with a ton of new change.. no more home teachers and elders and high priests combind.  Pretty cool stuff but i especially liked the talk by Uchdorf about beholding him.  I also like the second talk in the first session of Saturday about how we are all children of god.  We should all feel special even at the worst of times…it was great.  So this week we were supposed to have a baptism of this kid we found by a miracle whose family is inactive and he’s not a member. But at the last second he came down with some wierd eye problem so he had to go to the hospital.  I was super sad but this friday we are going to baptise him and sister rivas, a lady of like 50 years of age. Well comp is good haha he’s a crackup.. like the things that come out of this guys mouth.. its too good.  But yea that’s all i got this week.  The area is good and honestly the people here are sooo awesome.  In this area we have found a ton of immagrants from Venezuela because they have sooo many problems there.  But they are the best people ever and come here with like nothing.  So we found a dope family from Venezuela that should be getting baptised shortly so pray for us hahaha. Well, love you all have a good week!   Btw, President Nelson seems like the absolute man and some wounds I felt from monsons death are now healed hahhaha! 

Love, Elder Call

Happy Easter (week 60)

Hey friends an fam! 
wow been quite a week hahaha lots of ups an downs but mostly ups like always in the mission. Work has been a lil slow so far in the area. Opening areas is never easy but the challenge we are facing is that all the lessons we set up, we go back and they arent there etc. So ya been ard but we are working super hard and have found a lot of positive people. Found a family this week that is literally ready to be baptized rn but they arent married.. and the want the kids to be baptized with them.. Well i have married a couple before and its quite the process but im prayng they go through next month. Found some awesome other people but its definitaly been a hard area. Love the people here tho especially haha. san migalito is a lil hood but super cool and people love us here. So funny seeing all the gangsters come up and say whats up or as they say it "que sopa" or "Que lo Que loco." But its been a good time, comp is wierd but we are doing good and hes totally fine with working so we doing good hahaha. Yup also started english class last Saturday night, class so far has been a failure cus not a lot of people come but i think this next one we will get more of a turnout. Wow the people that did come it was soo funny hearing their english.. like we say ow here "enpanga". well thats all i got lov yall have a good week! -dont have time for pics this week sorry
