HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Things are going pretty good here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only thing is some things are going a little slower than I originally expected so it`s kind of frustrating at times but it`s all good. Nicoli is doing good. Also we found out the other day that his name is really Nicolas which is good to know because we`re now calling him by his real name :) Ha ha but yeah everyone else is doing good. We also got a reference from the sisters this week which happened to be the BEST REFERENCE OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It`s a mom who`s the only member in the family, the dad, and 3 kids. the mom has been a member for like 25 years but has been inactive and is just now coming back to the church. She told us that now that here kids are old enough to get baptized she needs to start being the example. So they`re pretty dang positive!!!!!!!!!! Also, the dad wants to get baptized. He said he would`ve been baptized sooner but his parents are SUPER Catholic and so he`s been trying to get them to loosen up the the idea of him being a member of the church. But yeah they`re SUPER positive and we`re hoping to get them baptized here pretty soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortuately for some reason the money for the washing machine hasn`t gone through yet so we haven`t gotten it yet...But we`re hoping we`ll have it by Wednesday!!!!! 

It was pretty sweet!!!!!!!!! We had a talent show Saturday night and Seegmiller and I wrote a rap in English and the best part about it is that none of it made any sense it just rhymed. So Seegmiller beat-boxed and I rapped and it was awesome because nobody understood what we were saying so they all thought it was like a real rap. but in reality it was just a bunch of stuff that made no sense. Ha ha it was pretty sweet!!!!!!!!!!! I`ll try to email you the video of it next week.

But yeah other than that nothing too crazy has been happening around here lately. Right now we`re in the hottest time for Bocas. August and September apparently are the hottest times of the year for Bocas. So it`s been pretty dang hot. The other day I seriously thought I was going to die!!!!!!!!! I was sweating more than I`ve ever sweat in my entire life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was pretty dang ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!! But it`s all good. 

Also Elder Olivas (an elder from El Salvador that is one of our zls) found this piece of paper in one of his old areas that has the ¨push-up challenge¨ on it. It`s basically this thing were everyday you do some push-ups and then from week to week you do more and more push-ups. For example this week was 13 push-ups then you rest for 45 seconds, 11 with a 45 second rest, 12 rest 45 seconds, 9 rest, and 9. So anyways we started doing it this week and we`re going to get so buff!!!!!!!!!! :D 

Ha ha anyway, thanks for everything!!!!!!!!! I`m SUPER GLAD that you all are doing GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
