Blue Hair and Fergie

Buenas!! Can't believe its already pday! That's crazy this week has actually flown! But to start off with the title haha, we met this mom and her daughter and they actually seemed really interested! Except we couldn't remember their names, except the mom had blue hair and the daughters name sounded like Fergie to us gringas sooo we just started calling them blue hair and Fergie haha! Also to make matters worse we met these three sisters and they had some crazy names! So when we first created them in our app we put their names as "old", mid", and "young" hahah! Later found out their names are Raiza, Raicielis, and yarkis, so you cant blame us haha! 

Anyway more onto the week! We had a crazy miracle and a member who is super new to the ward texted us saying that her husband isn't a member but wants to take the lessons! SCORE! then she asked if we could come over at 8am because of his work... we usually dont leave the house until 11am so after talking with our zone leaders and president we got permission to go! So the next morning we went and taught him and he pretty much already knows everything because she is a super active member! So we were able to set a baptism date with him for september 6! He's so ready and we're so excited!! Que milagro! 

Also the big news of the week was that Shery and Iglenia got BAPTIZED!! you guys these guys literally fell into our hands when their dad/husband, who was baptized when he was young, waved us down to their house! We have only been teaching them for 2.5 weeks but they were so so ready and so so excited! Their baptisms were so cutie and it was such a great experience to have a baptism that was 100% from us! We found, taught, and got them baptized so it was awesome to see the whole progress! They're so excited to be a part of the ward and the daughter already has so many friends in the ward! Loved Sunday so much!

Anyway, other than that nothing too exciting happened so heres some highlights! 

⭐️was going to go up and start talking to this guy until I realized he was peeing on the side of the road! 
⭐️"es hombre o mujer?" Little girl asked if this gay guy was a man or women haha
⭐️blue haired girl was a in a towel the whole time we taught her hahah, and surprisingly not the first time I've done that
⭐️plotting how to kill the dogs that keep barking at 5am
⭐️later plotting how to kill our neighbors who started blasting music right at 10:30pm (our bedtime)
⭐️later night empanada and salchipapa deliveries
⭐️one of our friends dropped some major chisme (gossip) hahah and he was asking for advice
⭐️some inactive member told us that gringas always smell good??
⭐️family called us over and they were absolutely wasted so on our schedule we put "drunk family" we were really bad with names this week ahah
⭐️random reference texted us wanting to marry one of us ðŸ˜˜
⭐️had a dream I was called to be a missionary in space and i think I found my new dream mission haha 
⭐️made patacones and they were delicious!! 
⭐️peanut butter duros😋

Spiritual thought! 
I listened to the talk "Let His radiance shine through you" from the Byu women's conference and something that I loved is when she said "faith isn't faith until its tried". 
I think a lot of times we think that we  need to have faith based on all of the good things that have happened in our lives, and our faith can grow because of good things. But in reality it is not true faith until we have to put it to use. Faith is something that we all need, but we don't really have it until we go through something hard and only are able to rely on that, there's nothing else, just our faith in God and Jesus Christ. That is when we get true faith. So when we go through something hard, use your faith, rely on Him, your faith will grow, and it will become true faith. 

Love you! Email me!

Dege ten no aidi

Hola! To fill you in on the title lol, the indigenous people here in panama are the kuna, think the mayan or aztec in mexico. Anyway the kuna have their own language and the women always dress a way and its so cool! Except we can't really teach them because we dont speak the same language haha. But our recent convert bernardo who is 67 speaks kuna! SO COOL! so one day i asked him to teach me some phrases and i was writing them down how they sound haha, so "dege ten no aidi" means "hello how are you?" But I'm sure its not spelt anything like that hahah, lots of giggles that night as i tried to spell it out.  In all reality though this week has definitely been the hardest so far on the mission, wayyy harder than the first week which i honestly didn't think was possible. My mission and especially my district is very very very focused on numbers and the amount of people we get baptized. This started really frustrated me this week because it felt like we were...

¡Hola! You guys this week was actually so peak! After I recovered from being sick it was on the up and up!  We got to teach again in spanish and this time it went so well! The first time we did it was muy mal but this time it was so good! We taught the cutest old lady and she was so patient with our spanish. We all totally felt the spirit and it got me so so excited to be a missionary out in the field!  We also got some super crazy rain Saturday night! We were studying, luckily under the canopy, and all the sudden it goes from nothing to dumping. So of course we took a break and ran around in the rain, but it was so much fun! I lovee the rain and it was def a core memory from the ccm. ALSO! I hit one month as a missionary on Saturday! It's so surreal because I feel like i just started but we're already a month through! And I leave for Panama next week! We have officially gotten unc at the ccm.  Also the lady in charge of special musical numbers came up to us and the other...
