New Companion November 16, 2009

Hey everyone!
This week was pretty good, I experienced my first cambios today and now have a new companion, her name is Hermana Chevez. She is from Nicaragua. It was fun to go to cambios (transfers) I saw a lot of my friends from the mtc which was way fun.


This is Kara and her new companion Hermana Chevez from Nicaragua

This week we taught a few pretty awesome lecciones. One was to two sisters, one lost her son a year ago and embraced the plan of salvation. In our second lesson, we were inviting her to pray about Joseph Smith to know if he was a prophet of God and she said that she already felt it was true. It was so awesome. We also have a brother in our ward that has come to church for 12 years but never been baptized. He has problems with gambling and says that he tried but can't overcome them. I taught him about the atonement and the grace we receive through Christ. The spirit was so incredibly strong and I felt it bear testimony to me anew of the times I have been healed through the atonement in my life. I am so grateful for my Savior, for the support I receive from him everyday of my life.

I don't remember if I told you about the bat we have in our house, it likes to visit us occasionally and has been visiting quite often as of late. Last night I was basically army crawling to my bedroom, gotta love the missionary life. Also this week we had a activity in our stake in which the members dressed up in typical Panamanian dress and danced and we ate typical Panamanian food. It was so cool to see the clothes and dances, people here are so full of life. I will send you guys pictures of everything.

Typico Panamanian dress

But I must say I am glad people don't feed us comida tipica a lot. It was some kind of fishy mush thing...Not my favorite. I'd much rather stick to the rice and chicken I am given everyday. Oh one more interesting thing, there are a lot of Chinese here, entonces people eat chow mien here often as well. I love you all!!! and I hope all is well
