Be gone long one 🐍

Buenos diassss!! Dont worry i didn't forget about you guys! Our pday got changed because of transfers!

🚨TRANSFER NEWS🚨
IM GOING TO GUALACA! Its a super small area in Chiriqui and I am going to be comps with Hermana Walker who I was in mtc with! Somehow got another gringa, not sure how that's possible hahah, but I could not be more excited! And I heard the house is really nice but also possible haunted 🤷‍♀️

ok now onto the week! This week was honestly so so solid! Let me start off with my favorite thing that happened this week! We have a friend named Yarelis and she came to church last week with her kids and was a little nervous but loved it! She is going through some seriously hard times right now, and she knows that only through God she can be ok! Her work schedule changed so we weren't able to visit her a lot this week but we went on saturday to visit her and the kids and she told us she was really sad to not go to church this sunday but that next sunday when she has work off! We talked so much about the peace that the gospel can bring her and we read in the book of mormon with her. She talked about how whenever we share verses from the book of mormon she loves it, so we asked her if she wanted one! The way her face lit up as she questioned if we were serious and thanked us repeatedly. UGHHH you guys shes the cutest! I explained to her how it is set up and she was so excited to start reading it! Shes so chosen and I would do anything for her! We stopped by on sunday with some treats for her and the kids and she's just the cutest! She read the book of mormon and had so many great questions that I got to help her understand! The book of mormon is my FAVORITE thing to talk about! 

ok also we found this family, the dad was baptized as a kid but he's inactive, so we are working with them! They have 4 kids and the wife that want to be baptized and they're actually married! Que milagro! Teaching them feels like what I always thought it would feel like as a missionary! Teaching a full family is my favorite!! They didn't come to church this week so hopefully my comp can work super hard with them to get them there next week! 

ALSO! Ricardo was baptized on sunday!! You guys he is such a solid guy, his wife is a super solid member and he has been coming to church for a super long time but has never had the desire to be baptized, but he was on sunday and it was so cutie! His wife is so excited and now they get to be a family forever! I am so so excited for them! 

📚Spark notes📚 (because not all of these are highlights haha) 
🌶 stepped in dog poop 3 times in the span of 30 minutes
🌶did some service in the most cat pee smelling house and walked out of there covered in cat hair

🌶our very positive friend on date #ghosting us and then sliding back in 🤷‍♀️
🌶was on the bus and got to watch a cop chase a guy for probably 200 yards, then wrestle him to the ground for a good 30 seconds haha
🌶hit 4 months on sunday!
🌶water bottle popped open in my bag and soaked everything 
🌶making loaded patacones one night for dinner 
🌶the sauce we bought for them☝️ was supposedly medium but burned our faces off
🌶one of our super positive friends fed us breakfast! Then proceeded to not come to church but oh well!
🌶having to leave our area to walk to a neighborhood that's in our area 🤨
🌶had a member lunch and she played country music and I kid you not every song was from my country playlist 🥹 may have shed a few tears

☀️spiritual thought☀️
This week had some very hard times, one of our families that I have been working with since last transfer told us they dont want to take the lessons anymore becuase theyre "not convinced of our book" but also so many miracles! We got some super super solid references that I know God has been preparing for us! When one door slams shut another one opens!! God has a plan for each and every one of us and it is perfect! Just have some trust in him! We were talking about the bible with the mom of some recent converts and she talked about proverbs and it reminded me of provers 3:5-6

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

I have seen as God has directed our paths this week, and I know he is doing the same for everyone who has trust in him. Give it all to Him and everything will work out better than expected! 

Love you all! Eat some in n out for 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...
