Vista Alegre #14 “I had a daughter”

Hello Family!

This week was exciting!

On Tuesday I went to the city to get my "chichi" (which, don't freak out, is baby in Panama - some others may know a different translation)
(Baby = greenie)

My new companion, Hermana Canedo is awesome! Mexican, loooves her food and is gonna make me fat (her words, not mine haha). She has a really strong personality, but is really loving and friendly to everyone. She has already learned so much and is learning to be a great teacher. She's really good with sharing her ideas with me and her goals, including the awesome unrealistic ones from the MTC (her first question after planning was "why can't we teach 32 lessons a day?" :) ). She is super enthusiastic and super ready to work hard. I think we will get along just greatt!

And as for me I know a lot more than I thought I knew. It is really cool to see how I really do have the Spirit and I really can use it, especially with the gift of tongues. I only have 5 months of learning the language, but I can have conversations about the Gospel in Spanish. It really goes to show how this is the true Church.

As for la obra, we found the coolest 11 yr old named Enoch. He is a kid genuis. Like I'm serious. He's smarter than me. He's also graduating Highschool in 4 days. But he is suuper positive! I have high hopes for the lil dude! (actually he is pretty chubby haha).
We are still working with the familia Gomez, but they went to the beach this week, so didn't come to Church which kinda stinks. I am hoping we can put a date for their baptism this week!

Everyone a little reminder how much I freaking love you. Like a whole lot. And God loves you even more (not entirely conviced that's possible, but ya know). I will always be here for you even though I am in Panama!
Scripture of the Week (not a thing, but here ya go)
DyC 18:10
Love you all soooo much!
