Hey!
This Thursday I completed one year in the mission. I cannot believe it, I still feel new out here because every single day something new happens. Can't believe it.
Okay also let me brag a little bit about how cool my mission is, that is, the mision Panama, Ciudad de Panama...
We made a goal to get 200 baptisms in June, and this week we will be having the baptism of Brittany, one of the really smart girls! As a misison we are at 340 baptisms for June, we killllled the record for the most baptims ever in the Panama Mission!!! Allllso in the islands of San Blas the craziest things are happening! The elders there went to talk to the head cheif of the islands to see if we could start preaching in other islands, but he was out fishing, so they were waiting for him in his families hut and started preaching the gospel to his family, As the cheif was fishing, a butterfly came and landed on his hand, which in the Cuna culture means that God has sent you messengers to preach the gospel. So the cheif dropped everything and ran back to his hut. When he saw the Elders, he told them he knew it was of God and would believe everything they said and that all the his family and all his tribes!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??!?!?!??!?!!! It's like it was written in the Book of Mormon YEARS ago when Ammon taught Lamoni and Aaron taught the king of the Lamanites. So we are baptizing islands over here right now! We are all soooo pumped!!!
As for my area, we are super starting to progress! We had a toooon of people at church and have so many who are preparing to be baptized! This week, we just worked a whole lot haha, but I am really starting to see the blessings of sacrafice! I am so grateful to be a missionary and to be here especially in Panama! I love you all soooo much!
Love, Hna Hallsted
