On Sundays, MLS means that I get to play with the kids in Primary. I am the Branch Music chairman and so I help with the music in Primary. I love, love, love it. It isn't easy, I have to relearn all the songs in Spanish and then teach them. I have to tell you, this could only happen with the Lord's help. The gift of tongues is very real. In this picture (thanks Tina for taking it), you can see 3 of the 4 Marcusi boys, Bruno, in front is 3 and too cute for words. We had the presentation yesterday. Hermana Presley was muy nerviosa, and in walks the Stake Primary Pres, and the Stake President. Well, the kids did great, all 9 of them. Bruno just sat and looked cute and played with his worn out shoes, every once in awhile, he would move his mouth like he knew the words to a song. Angeli, the little one on the other side of me, sat and tickled him during the Stake Presidents testimony. Tooooo cute! They stole the show.
For Elder Presley, Sundays mean being tugged in every direction from early in the morning until we head for home, usually around 1pm. When we get home he prepares a lesson, for the young men preparing to go on missions and to the Temple. He has a really hard job, and some days doubts his effectiveness, but if you could see how our little branch has progressed in just 4 months, you would know that the Lord is using all of his experience to bless the lives of these people. In December 29 members will be attending the temple. Of those, 2 families will be sealed, and a couple others will receive their endowments preparing to go on missions. It is truly amazing to watch the hand of the Lord work in Boquete! |
I love every photo and every description of your service in Panama! You are truly angels! God Bless You
