Hola Familia!
This last week has been
interesting. President gave us a few
things to do in the office, and we spent a lot of late nights and early
mornings getting it done. We had a new
missionary couple form St .George come on Saturday. They are the new mission doctors. It will be
nice, because I kind of took on the responsibility when the mission nurse left
a change ago. They are super cool! And
we never felt the 6.8 earthquake in Panama last week because it was at 1:30
a.m. and we were sound asleep.
We have been trying to
use our time a lot better, and try wasting less time in the office. We are
trying to get out to our area more. Although we are called to be the secretaries,
our first call is to be regular missionaries.
It is hard to set appointments because we don't know always what we will
have to do in the office and when we get out, but we are trying to get more
appointments set, and find more investigators to teach. We had a lady call the mission office this
week, saying that she is basically a member and the missionaries visited her
for a while. She said she has taught
about the church to people and told them to come, but she has never been
baptized, and she is going blind so it is hard for her to get to church. We are going to talk to her tomorrow, and it
will be a sure baptism!
The rainy season has
officially started here! We had a
tempest strike yesterday during church, so someone drove us to lunch, and we
didn't get out for about three hours! At
that time, we start our weekly plan, then go to dinner, so yesterday we didn't
get much done. We did get to teach C in church, so that was good! We are
still in the process of getting him married, so we will see what happens this
week with that process. We have had a
lot of investigators not progress that we have had to drop this week, so it has
been hard. But we are trying to open our
mouths more and talk to everyone about the gospel!
It is crazy that I have
already been out for a year! I feel like I just started a couple of months
ago. Now I am going downhill! There are a lot of things I want to accomplish
in this next year. They always say the second year goes by faster than the
first, so I better get working hard! I
actually haven't burnt my shirt quite yet. We went to a little food truck for
dinner right outside our house that night with the Zone Leaders, the AP's and a
missionary who went home in October but just got back last Thursday. They make bomb cheeseburgers and arepas!
Glad to hear that the
diets are going so well! Way to keep
true. It sounds like you are both having great success! I am trying to form a diet with Elder H as well. That guy is a health NUT! He loves
working out and he is huge and he is obsessed with eating healthy! So we will see how it goes!
Well, not much to report
this week.. We are going to the Cinta Costera today to rent longboards and
bikes with the zone, so we gotta get going!
I love you all!
