AWWEE!!! Bueno I thinks that how you would spell the grita or shout of Panama :) You all need to look up BALLET FOKLORICO DE PANAMA! There you will hear the scream and the music Typica of Panama and my pictures at the bottom will make all the more sense!
This week was great! We had a Baptism! Moises got Baptized!! Oh he was so great and so excited! He is extremely quiet and timid and shy but understood everything we taught him and he never forgot and he knows it is true! It was so great to see him progress and get so much more confident!!! I love being a missionary! The gospel changes lives and to be able to see their progress is all the more special. It is such a blessing to be part of these peoples lives.
With Familia Tejada we had a series of lessons and one the hna (Member) asked why we don't use the BIble and only use the Book Of Mormon so we explained its purpose and the importance and really it was for her Husband who is our investigator but shy and evangelico. We then planned a lesson and they had invited friends as always for our Noches de Hogar and we taught the lesson with only scriptures from the bible on The Gospel Of Jesus Christ. The Spirit was so strong and then at the end we wrapped up with a verse from the BoM and the Hno said the prayer and then gave thanks for both the Bible AND The Book of Mormon! They are so going to be baptized!!!
Saturday before our Baptism in the Mornin we did a service for la Familia Rios who are our neighbors and members and afterwards they decided to dress us up and teach us a little bit more about panamanian culture! And so it is the lovely fotos and me will so much make up on but dont worry! We got all cleaned up and then left to go work! haha
We have a less active sister who we are working with whos sons are all super active and one is almost 9 and wants to be baptized! Hna Ortega or La Familia Ortega! I love them so much! They are so amazing and love us so much as well! I feel at home when I am with them and they understand it all it is just getting the Hna to realize how much it is blessing her family!
Seems like the whole world is getting sick here and twice we have walked into a house sat down for a lessons and one of their kids gets sick! Literally they throw up everywhere. hey just sit there and throw up in their laps! So that's fun! I guess when the rain comes so do the colds!
I love you all so much and hope you have a fantastic week! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO YOU ALL YOU MOTHERS! You will get it next week too :) Thank you all for your prayers!
Les quiero mucho!
