This cool wall we found that says Vista Alegre
Got ourselves some new shoes!
Vista Alegre- my new area
We also got ourselves some ice cream :)
Hna Vanini told me to title this one "We love Selfies!" haha
Our roommates Hna Langi and Hna Adamson- I love them both!
We got to go to McDonald's because we went to the city. It was sooo yummy! And also it wasn't rice with chicken!
Hola!
This week had a lot of different emotions!
I was pretty homesick (but hey, yesterday was only 15 more months exactly till I am home!) and I think it is because of the change to a new area and we are starting from nowhere because we opened this area. But what is awesome is that the Lord knows what we need. Our first day we decided to go contacting and try to find some people to teach. Well this area is not like Dos Mil. In Dos Mil, everyone is poor and really humble and really nice. It is a lot easier to find investigators there. In Vista Allegere, it is rich and prideful. So we actually had rejections (what?!). The first hour, every single house rejected us. First time ever for either of us. And I was feeling all sorry and stuff, and so was my comp. So we decided to pray right there in the street and follow the Spirit. The next couple of hours were amazing! We found a ton of new people to teach and a lady who sells really yummy duros haha.
I know that the Lord gives us those miracles after the trial of our faith. I have been feeling a lot better since then. We go where the Lord wants us to go and He will send us to those He has prepared. I love the Gospel! I love that I know my Saviour is always there for me! And He is there for you too!
One investigator is Hermana Reyna. She is an abuela who is really positive! We ran out of pass along cards one night and were heading back home, when my comp felt we needed to go to this house. I was like, "but we don't have any cards" and then immediately felt stupid. The Lord loves us so much, He blessed us with mouths. It was a good thing we found her. We taught her the Plan of Salvacion and she told us how important her family is to her. Can't wait to see what happens!
With the change we also moved into a teeny tiny house with two other hermanas. It is really cramped. We get to sleep in bunk beds and live out of our suitcases. I learned the hard way (took me like 5 times to finally learn the lesson) to close my suitcase after every time I open it. This new house has got way more ginormous freaking spiders and they really like garments I guess. They are always mixed in between them and I do not appreciate that haha!
Good news with the change is that the chicken and rice is WAYYY better than in Dos Mil. I have only felt the need to spit it out a few times! I also ate some really really nasty Cuna food in Dos Mil, so thank the heavens for that.
Oh and just in case you were interested, Panama is actually the best mission in the world. I mean it is in the Book of Mormon... Go read Alma 22:32 and then come tell me which mission is the coolest in the world (you would have to say Panama)
Love you all with all my heart!!
