Buenas!!
This week started off with a fantastic Pday! This member in our ward let us come to her private resort and chill at her house and beach. We had tons of snacks and played a lot of volleyball! It was sooooo nice! Hermana Swift is the coolest! She is this white lady from Zimbobway (Not sure how to spell it, but that's how it sounds). She has the coolest Australian accent because she lived there for a bit too! You meet some of the most random people in Panama.
We went to teach the family Salazar, and while we were waiting for everyone to come, I got really tired of all the stupid flies flying around. They didn't have a fly swatter, but I still managed to kill 27 of them. I kinda felt like Spider-Man.
We had exchanges this week. I went to Aguadulce with Elder Moran. He's pretty dope. He is waiting for a visa to go to Brazil, as everyone who goes to Brazil does. Not much really happened. But it's a 4 man house so at night we played Monopoly! That was pretty dang fun!
Saturday we had a mission activity with the ward. It was basically just our sports activity. But we got to play a ton of soccer and volleyball which was fun!
Sunday we gave talks in church. Sang in church. Then we went to Anton and gave talks there. But it was good! I definitely wrote my talk last minute, but it turned out fine. We also met a white guy named Richard! He just casually pulled up to the group in Anton. He is from Oregon. He is a member and lives in Panama City. It was pretty fun to talk to him! Old people just have endless amounts of stories to tell.
The biggest highlight of this week is definitely Alexandra and Ide. Wow, they are so elect. We taught Alexandra the commandments, and her biggest hurdle was the commandment to not bear false witness or lie. She doesn't even have a problem with that. She just knows she's not perfect like the rest of us. We laughed pretty hard at that. As far as Ide, she was a reference from a different place in Panama. She wants to get baptized so badly. They both came to church this week! They loved it so much! It was really fun to see all the young women together, because our recent convert was showing them around and they all became friends super quickly. It was just a happy moment. And they are completely ready to be baptized on Saturday! So pray for them!
I had kind of a strange thought this week. I was thinking about the premortal life and worlds and things like that. The thought then popped into my mind "Of all the worlds and of all the time periods I could have been born in, I'm so happy and lucky to be in the one where my family and friends exist." We aren't here by chance! God knows us, and we are here for a reason! I love all of you! Keep praying for my people!
