Dear friends and fam,
I am working on college essays so I'm not guna have the most time to write this but man its been a heck of a two weeks. So i'm back in arraijan in an area called Burunga and man i forgot that this zone is straight jungle ahhaa. Its been a crazy two weeks and it all just feels like a blur in my mission now. We have been doing soo much work haha and working the hardest i have in my whole mission. Last week we had two baptisms and this last sunday two more. We have been expecting an average of 5 every week but man the family we were supposed to baptize this week was having marriage problems and backed out saturday night!! day before their baptisms due to the marriage problems. They are soo cool, luisa is from Nicaragua and louis is Panamanian and they have 1 girl that's 9. They are getting a divorce as of now but man god sent us at the right time to them and we are working super hard with them so they don't do it. I will try to send pics too of the area and everything. Ok but man my comp is Elder Zalavarrieta from colombia and is the best comp i have ever had in my life haha. He is 25, and has had the craziest life in the world. Well we have soo much in common and it was an instant connection. We are literally best friends and man we work soo hard. He's soo motivated and has so much energy it's unreal. Little bit of anger-management but man i love the kid so much. So he was originally supposed to be going home in 2 changes but went home his second change in the mission. He was in love with a girl and was thinking about her all the time and talked to pres and decided it was best to go home to marry her. So he went home proposed and she said NO hahahaha. Sooo sad.. So he called pres after and begged for days to come back to the mission and eventually got back after like 8 months. So he gets back and like a month later he gets a called from president saying that his mom had a stroke and is in a coma and will probably die. Pres gave him the option of going home and HE SAID NO. He said that his mission here is more important in this moment and when he told me the story and i just about cried. His mom has been in a coma for like 5 months now and it straight motivates this guy to work soo hard. So ya lots of expectations this change and man its flying by in this area with him. Love the mission and i know without a single doubt that this is the work of the lord. My testimony has never been stronger and the miracles i see are un real. Chuso side note panama played its first game ever in the world cup today and lost and man the streets went from empty to after people walking around crying. haha super sad but good stuff. love u fam bye!
