Week 49

Well friends,

This week was only just, SHOCKINGLY hardiliterallythoughtiwasgonnadieacoupletimes but we were able to have a baptism 

and also I saw the first cow I´ve ever seen in Panama.

The boy that got baptized is named Leandro. He's 11. He goes to church with his neighbor friend who's a member and a couple weeks ago went to a baptism and felt the spirit and said ¨Missionaries I want to be baptized. Everything about this church calls my attention¨ and his mom was like ¨Dele esta bien but you better prepare him real good¨ and we said ¨dele¨ and prepared him real good and he got baptized. 

He bore his testimony after about how all the bad things have been washed away and he feels like a new person. It was tender and I said ¨wow¨ at the whole experience cause this boy just knows what he needs and goes and gets it even though he's just a joven. And guess what? He's even gonna go to young men camp next week and his mom signed up for the self sufficiency class at the church. Also yesterday a whole bunch of kiddos who we didn't even expect came to church and brought friends so I guess you could say we were very blessed at the end of a hard week.

On one of the really hard days this week we decided to splurge on lunch and go to Dominos. While we were waiting for our food we heard COLDPLAY. It was a tender mercy for Hna Montero because Coldplay is her absolute favorite band and it was a tender mercy for me because I NEVER hear familiar english music. We almost cried

Divisions in Veracruz!
