It´s Cool to See!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

That new area [he talked about last week] is pretty sweet!!!!!!!!!! We didn´t have a lot of time to work there this week because we are working really hard with one of our investigators. She´s the soon to be wife of a member. She wants to get baptized and she´s pretty dang ready as far as spirituallity and knowledge goes, but the only thing that´s been holding her back is that they aren´t married...Another tradition here in Panama :) But anyways the ZL´s found this doctor that´s a member of the church that lives here in Chorrera that will do the  medical exams for $10 per person as opposed to $20 per person for people who need to get married for baptism. Also he´ll come to there house to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we´re getting that done this week and then next week they´ll get married and then we´ll be able to baptize her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I´m SUPER stoked about that!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Also this week we went to my cocinera's farm. Yeah apparently they have a farm. Anyways, it was pretty sweet we helped them with some farm work stuff and then we rode a horse and had some fun!!!!!!!! Ha ha it was pretty funny!!!!!! But yeah the farm was fun.
I love how he got them laughing!  


He did manage to get it right! :)
Also last P-day we got permission from president to go to the fair here in Chorrera. It was SUPER FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We walked around looked at all the little shops and then rode the roller coaster (did you know the Spanish word for Roller Coaster is montaña rusia? if you translate that directly it´s Russian Mountain. SUPER random right?!?!?!?!?!) and one of those rides with the swings that goes really high and then spins around. It was pretty dang fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also on Saturday we had this big family home evening with the ward. It was REALLY COOL!!!!!!!!!

We all met at this one member´s house (there was like 15ish people that showed up) and for the lesson we all took turns going around telling our personal conversion story. It was pretty sweet to hear how everyone here came to know the church. It also taught me how much Faith members of the church have. Especially here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It´s SUPER hard to be a member of the church here in Panama but these people have a crazy amount of faith and they are SUPER strong members!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it´s cool to see!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha ha also they thought it was SUPER funny and SUPER cool when I explained to them that seminary in Utah is part of school. Ha ha you should have seen their faces!!!!!!!!!!!! Afterwards we had some food and them played a game. It was SUPER fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Anyways, I hope everything is going absolutely FANTASTIC for all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
