Long Trip to Immigration Office March 1, 2010

As for me this week was interesting. I had to travel to Panama City for immigracions which wasn't much fun. We left at 3 am from here, arrived at 9 something, went straight to immigracion, waited there forever, ate really quick and got back on a bus for another 9 hour ride. We finally got home at about 9 and needless to say I hope by the time my card expires again I'm back closer to Panama City.

But despite my trip, my companion and I worked really hard this weekend and found 20 new people to teach. Hopefully a few of them will want to change their lives for the better. This week we had a lesson with a lady we have been teaching that has a baptismal date for the 13th of March. It was kind of cool because she is the mom of one of the members here and came up to us and basically said she wanted to get baptized because her grand daughter who is 4 asked her why she was going to the church of Satan, which got her to thinking and ended up with us. Yesterday we were teaching her a lesson and went over the baptismal interview questions to make sure she is ready. However, due to some past mistakes she has to interview with the stake president. As she talked about her past sin she said it was something she did to find a answer to her problem but after a few months the same problem came back. That really the answers of the world are not lasting and never really help us. It made me so grateful that I have known since a young age that the answers from God are so much better than those of the world and that I know where to find these answers. I am so grateful for the atonement, for the ability we have to change and grow and repent of our sins.

Anyways, I love you all and I am so grateful for your prayers, letters and support.
Always choose the right and, remember who you are.

Love, Hermy
