Parts of the email we received 1/28/13

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything`s going pretty dang good here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

It`s SUPER hot but almost every house we go to they offer us water so don't worry, I`m drinking a lot of water. This week was pretty sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had some pretty good lessons and we had an investigator in church yesterday!!!!!!! She`s the wife of a member and she`s pretty positive so hopefully we can get her baptized soon!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday was pretty dang nuts too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We didn`t have any appointements planned or anything so we just contacted all day. We went to this part of our area that we`ve never been to called La Pesa 2 and started contacting. That area is SUPER COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We met a lot of really cool people, got 6 new investigators, found 2 families, and came out with 75 contacts. It was pretty dang NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also my spanish is improving a lot!!!!!!!!!!!! Living with 2 latins has DEFINITELY been a blessing for me!!!!!!!!!!! And President told me that my next comp will be latin so that will be sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The cool experience I had the other day was when Elder Daw and I were waiting for a bus and this guy started talking to us. He was really funny and he was talking to us in English. He sells drinks and candy to people on the street and he came up to us and started talking about the church. It was pretty funny he said, ¨Hey I know about your church. You have Joseph Smith, Alma, and Joseph Smith`s brother Jeffery.¨ Ha ha it was pretty great!!!!!!!! But anyways he went on to explain to us how he sells things. It`s really cool!!!!!! He told us, Ï sell these candybars four for $1. But if someone wants 2 but they only have a quarter, it`s alright I give them 2 candy bars. I also sell water for $1. But if people need water but they don`t have $1, it`s alright I say to them, here have a drink and then give them some water. I try to help people.¨ It was a really cool because this guy obviously doesn`t have a lot of money but he is doing everything he can to follow in Christ`s footsteps and do what Christ would do. It`s like that scripture, ¨When you are in the service of your fellow being you are only in the service of your God.¨ This guy was SUPER COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it was a cool learning expericence for me. You can learn from EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!! Even a candy salesman at a bus stop. It was SUPER COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Anyways, everything is pretty dang good here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIEN PRITTY as the Panamanians would say :) And it sounds like you all are doing pretty dang good too!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE AND MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
