Day in the canoe
There's a lot of people who are really positive that are also only reachable by canoe. A recent convert asked us if we'd like to borrow his and of course we said yes and planned a 5 hour day in the canoe. We passed by a lot of people who were really positive, but our friend Wilfredo wasn't there which was sad. He's gone to church a ton of times and was even going to seminary. We're trying to help him continue to progress, but he's hard to reach. Now it'll be a lot easier with the canoe. Overall super fun day, but exhausting as well.
Intercambio
I got to have an exchange with one of our ZLs, Elder Fredrickson, who is hilarious. I went to finca 30 (banana farm #30) and Elder Ence went with Elder León. In finca 30 we were laughing a ton and Elder Fredrickson anf I got along really well, but the thing I loved most about the exchange was the miracles that we saw and the work that we put in. It really is possible to be 100% obedient, work hard, and still have a ton of fun. We found a guy named Luis who is extremely positive and asks great questions. He promised he'd read the Book of Mormon and pray to know if it's true. Not many people there can even read, so that was truly a miracle. We also saw the monkey again. I love monkeys.
Zone Conference
We took a bus on sunday through the comarca jungle and got to David on Sunday night for P day and Zone Conference. It's always super fun because we get to sleep over with the David ZLs and with the Changuinola ZLs who are all baller missionaries. We also get something to eat other than Domino's which is a major plus. Right now we're just waiting to recieve some crazy revelation from President tomorrow while we hopefully play some good 'ol american football and spike ball. Life is good.
Spiritual Thought
Instead of making excuses of why you can't be obedient or work hard, talk with the Lord about how you can do what he wants you to do. You don't have to be emotionless to be an amazing missionary and you don't have to be disobedient or disrespectful to have fun. God's will is always the best path to take. Just do it. Nike.
