Buenas!!
Last week of the transfer flew by! It was a good end of the transfer tho!
We had exchanges on Monday which was super fun! I went with Elder Mendez. He is super awesome!
I aided a criminal... I helped a blind lady onto the metro train, and then helped her sit down. But 2 minutes later a police officer walked on and escorted her off. I'm curious what she did.
We had our interviews and Consejo de Distrito on Tuesday which was good!
We did a really fun service project as a district! Pancakes included! But I'm sure every service project that has Pancakes involved is a good service project!
We had another good exchange with some other Elders. While waiting to end the exchange Elder Parkinson and I kept going up and down the escalators to contact people. It was so funny!
SOLINKA GOT BAPTIZED!! FINALLY!! I'm super happy for her :)) And she just had the biggest smile on her face all day! It was super special! We went to her house later to eat cake with her family, so big success for sure.
Kelly also came to church! She's gonna get baptized next week! But the cool part was that her aunt, who is a member, but hasn't gone to church in 20 years, came to church on Sunday!! It was a huge miracle! Ministering works people!
Today we went to a Brazilian steak house! It was SO STINKIN GOOD. I haven't had good meat like that in 2 years. I just about cried.
Well here it is, my last transfer is coming up. Time just goes by too quickly. But I'm excited for my last transfer! It's going to be quite different.
I'm leaving Mañanitas which is sad, I'll definitely miss all my friends here. But, I've been given a new assignment that I'm excited for!
I'm going to be a traveling AP! Basically for my last transfer I'm going to be traveling around all of Panamá! Each day my companion and I will be with a new companionship, in a new area, doing exchanges! So basically I'm homeless. Six weeks of traveling, exchanges, and giving it my all. It's gonna be really exhausting, but I don't think there is any better way to end my mission than giving everything I have to a country and people I love! One last adventure!
As for my thought, I can't quite compare myself to Alma. But, I will say that I feel a little bit how he felt.
9 I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy.
10 And behold, when I see many of my brethren truly penitent, and coming to the Lord their God, then is my soul filled with joy; then do I remember what the Lord has done for me, yea, even that he hath heard my prayer; yea, then do I remember his merciful arm which he extended towards me.
I'm so grateful to God for His love and mercy that he has shown me, and continues to show me. And I'm so grateful for the chance He has given me to be an instrument in His hands to bring people to Christ. This is true joy.
I love you all lots! Please pray lots for me, my people, and my mission!
Until Next Week!
