WEEK 45- Man is this week counting thing getting hard!

Buenas!

First off I would like to start off by saying thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes!! It was so beautiful! I got on and was completely overwhelmed! It was honestly the best! Your warm wished and support is always welcome and I am so grateful to come from such a fantastic ward! Go Fourth!

These past 2 weeks have been great :) The week before and this last week we have been working ver hard to try and find new people to teach. My area right now is a lot nicer and becuase of that the people for the most part are working all day everyday Yesterday we had a super cool activity in our area where our zone came to our area for and hour and the goal was just to have short lessons to find people and references for us to go back and teach and it was such a success! Both Boyd and I are extremely excited to see what people the Lord has prepared for us! 

On Wednesday there was a world wide missionary Broadcast! We got to hear from the apostles and other general authorities to see what things we can do better that would be more effective in la obra misional! It was really so great to learn of more things and to be able to have things so specific from our modern day prophet seers and revelators :) 

On Saturday Boyd and I held a special fast for Familia Vargas so that Hno Vargas can get a later shift for work so that family can go to church. We were able to hold the fast with them and also go to the temple! Oh my goodness how I love the temple! It was so beautiful to feel of that spirit and to be able to feel such peace and receive revelation :) It was even a more special occasion to be able to go fasting for one of my families :) I just love the Temple and man has it been a long time since i have been able to go! I even got to see two members from my old area there! It was just the greatest :)

Thank you all again for all your love and support! I love you all so much I am so grateful to be a missionary serving here in Panama! I have learned so much and continue to learn something everyday! The people I have met have all taught me something special! This is the true church and the Lords work!! 

Les quiero mucho!

WEEK 43- Prospero Año y bueno mas fuegos artificiales

BUENAS!

Hey como estan todos? BIen me alegre :)

I hope you all had a fantastic New years and that all are ready for school and work again! Here New years was just like Christmas but with even more food and even more Fireworks! Literally there were fireworks everywhere for a good hour and all were going around greeting their neighbors and all dressed up in their best dresses it was really fun and a neat experience to have:)

We had changes this last week bueno everyone else had changes this last week and Me and Boyd are staying together woohoo! hahaha We did get another pair of hermanas in our ward Making us 6 missionaries! It is really neat and means that the Lord has so much in store for this area and I am even more excited to see the miracles that we are going to see this change. 

My testimony has been greatly strengthened this week on communication. Me and Boyd weren't communication very well. We are very different people and we have very different ways of approaching people and teaching and analyzing situations. It made it very difficult and harder to work. We weren't unified. This change we made a goal to plan better and be better obedient. We approach everything until we agree because when we agree we know that it is also with the spirit. We learned more of who we were before the mission what our lives were like and explained why we are the way are. Hna Boyd is honestly such an amazing missionary. I love her so much and her Joy in this gospel is so full and her work is even better! I am so grateful I have had to learn from her and grow with her. I continue to learn from her everyday :)

This week was full of lessons falling through and lots of walking in the Hot sun but that is the work of the Lord. Its not easy but I need to remember the blessing and miracles He has in store for me as long as I am faithful and work my hardest this trial with bring forth many fruits of my labors. 

I hope you all have a fantastic week and can also the good that comes out of the trials you may or may not be having. That though things may be rough there will always be a light at the end of the Tunnel :)

I love you all so much! Thank you for all your love and support! 

Les quiero mucho!
