Week 16

¿Qué loque mo?
This week was a doozy! Man oh man is Panamá HOT! I felt like every step I took I was melting into the asphalt! haha Like those giants in Hercules the fire guy with every step he took just melting into the earth and what not! Yeah the heat definetely got to us this week haha Pobresita Hermana Salas was dying! We kept on working though and she was a trooper!
This week we were able to find some new people! Thursday when we were dying of heat and really needed to use the bathroom we knocked a door and the people here are so kind! All we had to do was ask if we could use their bathroom and she let us in with no problem! Her name is Yolanda and she was super chill! She let us rest a little because this day was waaayy too hot and she even gave us a frozen treat to help us cool down! Afterwards we shared with her a message and she was willing to listen again! It was great!
We also found out that one of our investigators (who has been an investigator for a while and is super solid practically a member just need to be baptized but can't becasue she isn't married...) is going to get married!! Her "esposo" is a less active member but didn't want to get married. The best part was that he agreed to finally marry her so she could be baptized after he received a blessing from the Elders! The Lord works in mysterious ways but Carol (thats her name :)) was super diligent! She went to church and continued to read her scriptures and prayed all the time and now the blessing are coming through! With her maybe her "esposo" will be reactivated so that her family can receive the full blessings of the priesthood and be sealed for time and all eternity!
On Saturday in the middle of our Companionship study we got a call from President saying that Hermana Salas will be having emergency transferes because there are 2 sisters going home due to illnesses. With that there also aren't very many new incoming sisters so he has to close an area and it is very possible that he will be closing ours and I will also be changed to a different area. Needless to say we have been very stressed out waiting for a call from President which still has not come.. I know that whatever happens will be for the best and all its just sad to think of this area being closed will so much potential! I will keep you all posted on that next week because we still have no idea! We are "en ponga" as they say here in Panamá!
I love you all so much and this church is true without a doubt in my mind! The Lord has a plan for each and every one of us that we just don't understand but if we head the promtpings of the spirit will be able get where we need to go and learn what it is we needed to learn. He loves us more than we can ever imagine and it is a real, true and pure love. Thank you for your prayers and for you thoughts!
Les Quiero!
