Week 5- Spanish, and luggage and letters... OH MY!

Hola Mis Amigos!
Lo siento sobre el semana pasado! Es muy dificil para estuvo pensando de cosas necesito escribir! Okay thats all hahaha. This week has been awesome! Last week I got my travel plans and this week is my last week! IM GOING TO PANAMA!!!!  its actually happening! I'm going to be a real life missionary! It is all just so super crazy and I'm totally freaking out but I'm also so totally excited!! There are six of us traveling together so that will be super fun! There are four Elders and one other Sister so I will be safe and secure :) I am so excited to be able to do my job! I am also incredibly sad that I will be leaving mi compañera.... Shes the greatest I can´t wait to see all the good she does! I'm super psyched for real food again too! Even if its not the best at least it'll have some nutritional value! 
Okay now on to the spiritual part. I have a super cool story. So every Monday we had a member lesson for TRC. This last week it was over Skype (holy smokes it is so hard... Skype is kinda awful...) We were teaching this older man about having faith in Jesucristo. How important we have faith and how that faith can bless our lives. I didn't feel super prepared for this lesson but we started off on our lesson plan and then Hermana Nielsen started to take it in a different direction and i felt that it was what the spirit wanted. We went completely away from the lesson plan but still was rooted in faith in Jesucristo, but it wasn't about how it blesses us but how it strengthens us. We talked about how if we can do anything with faith in the Lord. This guy was super Knowledgeable in the gospel. We may not have been conveying everything super well but the spirit was super strong, even over skype. Afterwards our teacher got back on with him and asked how it went. He asked if he thought it was boring because it was a topic he knew so well. After he asked him this Fransisco (the guy we were talking to) paused, and he started to cry. He said that he had been having a lot of problems and challenges and had been praying for answers and counsel. We had answered his prayer. This is my purpose as a missionary. I am here to answer peoples prayers. I need to be able to be that answer. I need to study hard. Work hard. Harder than everyone else. Love like I've never loved before and Smile. 
I love you all so much! Thank you all for your love and support! I'll talk to you all in a week and a half in PANAMA! 
Con muchismo amor
