wow so last week as i have previously told my mom was just an average week in panama of a lot of rain and rice. Man you all wouldnt believe how much rice i eat, its unbelievable. And honestly i dont think i have really expressed how much rice we really do eat down here. Fried rice, rice pudding, white rice, rice with chicken, rice and chicken. just had to get that out of the way quick. ok well in terms of the week we had probably the best conference with the mission president that i have ever had in my mission. He is sooo inspiring and we set a bunch of goals and like always he talked a lot about obedience and diligence. Its a very strict mission, like as in we literally cant do anything, but he related it to our love for Jesus. That we need to Love jesus more than music, movies, clothes, other worldly stuff. HE also told amazing stories from the bible and especially about Peter and understanding his purpose as an apostle. He hadnt really understood alll his time with jesus until he went out fishing after jesus was resurrected and they were eating and jesus asked peter THREE times if he loves him. That has a ton of symbolism and really changed peters view on mission work. After Jesus foretold that peter was going to die the same way he did. Peter was so motivated that he knew he was going to be crucified at the end and continued to work and teach people about the savior. I think we really have to understand our purpose as missionaries and that the sacrifices are nothing compared to the long run. I know that I am on the lord time for these years and im going to continue to help people come to the knowledge of our redeemer. The mission is really hard but this past week the message of peter and loving jesus more than the worldly stuff has been glued in my mind. Well besides that the wek was pretty normal. Oh ya we also had stake conference in san miguelito which was dope and cool to see all the 11 wards of the stake together. Comps bday today too so we guna go try and celebrate by buying a cake so ya good times. Well love u all!
