How is everyone doing?? I hope you
all had a fantastic week! This last week here in good 'ol central America
was the week of the family! I don't know if they do that in the states
but I am pretty sure no because I never remember doing that!
Anyways it was awesome! every night was a different activity in the Chapel!
Monday
(okay not every night) Was family home evening BUT the families needed
to invite a nonmember! We went with Familia Tejada and they also invite
their friends to listen and we always have a blast :)
Tuesday
was an open house and a group family home evening (noche de grupo) and
we had one investigator come sadly but it was so good!! Every single
presidency talked about their callings and the different classes that we
have and he had really good questions :)
Wednesday
was a fireside on emergency preparedness and it was really interesting!
We had a speaker from the Panamanian SIANPROC (i don't know how to
explain who they are... Experts in natural disasters??) They were
awesome! And well it was fitting with everything that has happened and
also with some of the floods that have happened in the city with all the
rain. Also Wednesday was changes and we didn't have changes! :) Hna
Thompson is still my awesome comp :)
Thursday
was another fireside on Family History and we had the Family Historian
teach it and she did a fantastic job! It was very entertaining and our
recent converts learned more about how to do family history! We also did a
service that day for Hna Patty! We painted her house and we did an
awesome job! It looked so purty afterwards!
Friday
was a Cultural night and almost like a talent show! It was great! It
was a stake activity and there were so many investigators that came!! We
even had some government officials come as special guests! There was a
band and it was just really well planned and beautiful :)
Saturday
we went to the temple as a ward! Me and my comp got to help 4 of our
recent converts in the baptistry! I must say it was weird helping out
and not actually doing the baptisms but it was so beautiful and to be
able to see the converts enter the temple for the first time was so
beautiful!!! Later that day Familia Tejada came to the temple
afterwards! It was fantastic! We got to give them a tour and they got to
see and learn and feel the spirit of the temple! It was so great! And
then later that night they even went to the ward activity where we
played sports and THERE WERE SO MANY BUGS! At one point we had to turn
off the lights but they just came back and they swarmed everything that
had light! I felt as though I was in a locus plight or something! It was
disgusting!!
Sunday during 3rd hour we had a
wonderful devotional from the area presidency where they had discussions
on families with their families! :) Later that day we got to visit a
new investigator whose older brother is super active and mom whose super
inactive but he just turned 9! So now he wants to be baptized and we
get to teach hime the lessons and his date is for the 25 of june! :)
Today we played some soccer and then it started pouring so naturally we kept playing and it was a blast! I love Panama!
I
love you all so much! Families are forever! What a beautiful message!
The gospel is true and because of it the spirit can better dwell in our
homes and our families will be unified! DO FAMILY HOME EVENINGS AND
NIGHTLY SCRIPTURE READING AND PRAYER! It is so important!
Have a great week! Les quiero mucho!
