Hello Fam!
This week was another good mix of really great and really bad!
The bad first, my companion is really sick! We don't know what's wrong, but it's like she is fine for an hour and all of the sudden has a fever and throwing up. Stinks cuz it is her last week this week!
The good, or really the great, is that we had a gira misional with elder Ochoa, the District President of Centro America, and it was amazing! We also had leaddership meeting or whatever it is in English (it's called consejos in spaish) so I got to hear from him twice!
We talked about faith unto repentance, and how vital it is in the missionary work. I was thinking a lot about that, and figured there is faith to make miracles happen, faith to heal, faith to move mountains, and everyone knows these things. But how often do we talk about faith to repent? And isn't that just another miracle as well? I'll tell you what, when Christ was here he "realizo" (can't remember the word in inglesh) miracles, established his church, and forgave sins. How incredible that He can forgive us of our sins! And if we truly of faith in Jesus Christ, if we really believe in Him, then we understand how He died for us just so we can repent and be clean. What a great blessing it is that we can repent and be made whole!
Now the most AMAZING thing that happened is that in the mission Panama, we put a goal to get 1000 baptisms in 3 months. AND WE DID IT!!! As of today they say we've are 1028 baptisms. And there are suppose to be 7 more baptisms this next week in the days of October! We are suuuuper excited about that, it's the 2nd most baptisms there have ever been in Panama since 1970something! We are now the highest baptizing mission in Centro America!!!! I am sooooo blessed to be in this incredible mission!! I absolutely looove Panama! Mom, I'm sorry, I'm never coming home! (haha just jokes mother dearest)
Anyways, suuuuper pumped to be a missionary right now, ready to rock the month of November (which is filled with Panamanian fiestas that are crazy)! I loveee being a missionary!
Love you all sooooo much!
Love, Hermana Hallsted
