Elder Jakob Lutze: Semana 92 (The Little Mountains)

Buenas!!

Transfers are always a crazy time! We got to Albrook at 4 in the morning! But, it was really fun to see all the missionaries! I then met up with my new comp Elder Rojas, and we were off to our area!

Well we got to the house. It's literally a dungeon. One tiny window. I miss the sunlight in my house. But that's ok! I say that mostly because we are moving on Wednesday:)

The area is super fun! It's called Las Mañanitas for a reason! The Little Mountains! There are a ton of hills everywhere! It's awesome!!!

Church was super awesome too! Especially the class taught by a member who is a 'maliante' but not. A 'maliante' is basically a gang man. It was the funniest class of my life! But it was also very spiritual!

Then we went to choir practice. I must say, Panama singing is quite interesting.

Then we had a 3 hour meeting that was actually supposed to be 30 minutes. It was really good! Lots of people from the Stake were supposed to come, but only us missionaries showed up. But that's kind of how it goes here.

Highlight from the meeting was when the Stake President referred to the stake and said, "We are gonna fatten her up until her pants don't fit!"

My thought for the day has to do with changes. My last zone/area to this zone and area is a BIG change. And sometimes that can be a little stressful. But something I've come to learn is that we tend to overcomplicate things. So, in the wise words, from the movie "What about Bob?" ~ "Baby Steps." Keep things simple, and take one baby step at a time. God truly does delight in simplicity! So if we trust in Him, and do one thing at a time, He will help us figure out the big picture!

I love you all! I hope everyone is doing well! Please keep praying for me and my zone! Apologies if I haven't written to some of you in a while! Stay safe! Until Next Week!
