Hola a Todos!
So I am in a new area and I have a new companion... my area is called Puerta Armuellas.... it is the hottest place in Panama... not a joke... the last missionary that was here told me I am serving in the infierno because it is so hot.... God loves me though and yesterday it rained i was actually kind of cold.... which is probably nothing compared to the cold that some of you guys are experiencing there in the states...
Anyway Puerta Armuellas is about forty minutes south of Costa Rica... I think one P Day my comp and I are going to go to the border to take pictures in front of the sign that says Welcome to Costa Rica.... I will be sure to send you guys pictures..
My new companions name is Hna. Caldas.. she is from Peru and has three months in the mission. We will only be together for one change because this will be her third change here in Puerta but I am confident we are going to enjoy our time together.... I think I appreciate her a lot more also because of what happened after the last change....
The area is big and there are about 600 less active members.. this probably the most interesting branch I have ever been in... our ward mission leader is gay and our branch president is a little bit special so a lot of people are inactive because of that.... there is tons and tons of work to do here....
Working with my companion is great.. she is not afraid to say it how it is and neither am I so we are working together to be more direct in the lessons.. in our four days together we have tried to commit twelve people to baptism and while only two accepted I feel like we are fulfilling our responsibility of opening our mouths and calling the people to repentance....
So I am content... these past four days have mostly been meeting the investigators that Hna. Caldas already had with her trainer and this week we are going to start to get to know all the areas in Puerta so that I can know where I am going.
I love you all so much... I am going to end this email by saying that I hope you all remember our Savior in the coming weeks as Christmas is only a week and half away... as President Monson said in a talk.. Christmas is about eternal gifts... not what we can buy.. so this year.. try to share the Gospel with someone and bless them with the gift of salvation.
I love you all so much... until next week...
Feliz Navidad!
Hna. Wilson
