Hunter Mission April 22-28 2025

 How is everyone doing this fine afternoon? It's been a wonderful week and I hope its been just as wonderful for you guys.

This week the main event was something called El Mayor which was a concert/theater/i'm not 100% sure what went down, but I do know that it was awesome. The base of El Mayor is Easter because we were trying to find ways to celebrate Easter the whole month long. Honestly the most important event that we have to remember is Easter because it reminds us of the sacrifice that Jesus did for us and tells us to use His power in our lives. He's the only one that can really save us from our sins and turn our weaknesses into strength. Anyway going back to El Mayor it means the greatest, because Jesus the greatest there ever was and ever will be. And so we had the concert and we filled up the church all the way to the brim until people had to stand to watch this hour and a half show.

So that was an awesome experience, besides that not too much happened, I had an intercambio with Elder Alcoba, whose a super dope dude from Argentina that's new to the mission. Then we continued to work hard until the end of the week were I got to work at El Mayor giving lessons to the friends of the church which was awesome because we just got to talk to a bunch of people who wanted to listen instead of talking to a bunch of people in the streets who don't want to listen. 

Anyway that was the week for me, love yall! The spiritual thought is for you to think even more about what Christ did for you and find ways in your life to actually use this gift he has given you.

Another week down in cartí tupile and it was pretty good

Congresso General

We had the general conference of the Kunas this week. All the chiefs pulled up and they sang their traditional songs at all hours of the day. A lot of them don't know the missionaries, so they always get a kick out of the white guy trying to speak their language. I also saw the sayla of my last village, celestiano

Goodbye elder ranstrom

It was a sad day. This transfer with Elder Ranstrom absolutely flew. Though there were a lot of hard work days, we were able to push through and have a ton of fun. I'll miss him for sure.

Elder Mani

My new companion is Elder Banks. He's coming from chorrera panamá, and this is his first island. It's been fun introducing him to the meals we eat and the traditions we have. He's been able to adjust really well. He came in and hit the ground running. We've had a fun few days so far.

Other things:

- tons of rain

- jungle service

- caught some more fish

-caught lots of crabs

Spiritual Thought:

I love the part in 3 nephi 11 in the Book of Mormon when Christ comes to the americas. When God is introducing Christ before His descent, the people had to actively open their hearts to hear Him.

"5 And again the third time they did hear the voice, and did open their ears to hear it; and their eyes were towards the sound thereof; and they did look steadfastly towards heaven, from whence the sound came."

Remember to look steadfastly towards heaven. Think celestial.
