Week 76 (October 30th, 2017)
This week was solid. Working hard, conferencing hard, no baptisms but my comp and I did have 3 confirmations on Sunday, as well as the elders we share the branch with had 4, so in total we had 7 in one sacrament meeting and it was so sweet!! We got to cancel the intermediate hymn!! I also had the opportunity to confirm all 3 of them. I couldn't believe how different that all of the blessings were, definitely guided by the spirit to say specific things in each blessing, it was great!!
This week we had a service project, we picked up garbage on the beach. Which means that I got to go to the beach!! I've never been there before but I got to go!! We picked up garbage for only an hour and it began raining so we went back to the church for lunch and played a little soccer in the mud.
This week I had a pretty great string of baptismal interviews. They were in the same house but they were great. The first one was a guy whose parents are members, but they went inactive when he was young so he never got baptized. His name is Nefi, or in English that would be Nephi. So that was just really cool to meet and interview someone named Nefi. Then his little cousin went next. They brought her over and set her on the stool and in Spanish said, "this is anna, shes 8, she doesn't speak Spanish." And they left. So this little girl is from the islands in panama where they speak a different language, lucky for me, and her I guess, I have been learning this language for like 4 weeks. So I got to do this entire baptismal interview in a language that I barely speak, It actually went really well! She passed and will be baptized tomorrow! Learning a third language is so much easier than learning a second. I think I have just learned how to learn a language is all. I maybe study this language 3 hours a week. Its called Dulegaya, or Kuna. Its what I've been writing the subjects of my emails in for the past 6 weeks or so. and no it is not similar to Spanish. Completely different.
