What's up everyone!! Transfers are happening tomorrow and I am going all the way to DAVID in Lassonde, wayyyyy out there!!! Literally to the other end of the country, near Costa Rica. I am going out with Hermana Rhodes, and we are white washing, or rather neither of us have ever ever been there. So we will have so much to learn, but I am so excited for the adventure!
But, this transfer overall was really good, of course full of highs and lows, but I learned that our faith really determines the results. I wish I had exercised more faith, but I have learned that when we let our faith replace every doubt, worry, and fear, there is NO limit to what we can do, with the Lord. I feel like I am leaving San Vicente better off than it was before, and I am so happy for the 4.5 months I had there. I have learned much more how to choose joy in every circumstance, learned to practice seeing how the Lord sees, and to listen even more to the Spirit.
On Friday, we had a special all hermana conference. It was awesome!! I got to see all but one of my previous companions (since she has already gone home) and it was great to be together with all the hermanas. Our President talked about how our we are so essential to the work of the Lord and in the eyes of the Lord. He expressed how there is no coincidence in the fact that Eve was the last creation, that Mary Magdalene was the first person to see the resurrected Lord, and I thought of how Mary Whitmer was one of the few people who saw the golden plates. Then he shared how Panama is the mission with the most baptisms in central america, and there are the most hermanas here. He said this was a direct correlation. I loved our president reaffirming how needed we are!
Something really cool that has happened in these few days is how we have been bringing a lot more members to lessons. These people before had not been keeping their commitments to read or come to church, but we brought members and something magical happened -- they seemed to understand the need for the true gospel of Jesus Christ and to do something about it. So, members are SO necessary!! Go out with the missionaries this week and make time and see all the blessings that come!!
I love you all and am excited from my next adventure!!
