HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So you´re not going to believe this. Today I didn´t something that I´ve never done before in my entire life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I woke up at 5:30 in the morning to go run 6 kilometers...Yeah I almost died!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha ha yeah we had a ward activity this morning because today is ANOTHER holiday (good old Panama) So we ran and then we had a basketball tournament. Which I was also SUPER surprised that we played basketball. I´m in Panama for crying out loud. But it was pretty sweet because I don´t play basketball very well but when I play with Panamanians that have only touched a basketball like twice in their whole lives, I´m basically a professional!!!!!!!!! I think I´m ready for the NBA ;) 

Anyway, things are going pretty good. Jose´s cousin never came back to church but he told me that he was at a party with his cousin and his cousin pulled out a beer and started drinking it. And Jose being the cool dude that he is hit the beer out of his cousin´s hand and told him that he can´t drink. And when his cousin pulled out another beer, Jose did the same thing. So Jose prevented his cousin from getting drunk which was pretty cool. But yeah we're going with Jose to go visit his cousin this week so hopefully things go good. 

My Thanksgiving was WAY BETTER than last year!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last year I ate mondongo but this year I ate turkey, mashed potatos, stuffing, and even pie!!!!!!!!! Oh man it was GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I attached some pictures. 

But yeah our other investigators are doing pretty good. We are currently teaching a family. It´s pretty cool, do you remember Elder Clarke? He was one of my ZL´s out in Bocas and he´s a SUPER COOL DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!! So anyways, my area right now was Clarke´s first area and he was teaching the family when he was here so he´s been helping us out a lot with that which has been really cool!!!!!!!!!!! The only bad thing is that they didn´t come to church yesterday because good old Black Friday hit Panama. But I don´t know how it is now in the states but here it´s Black Weekend and they have the Black Friday sells all weekend long so  they were in all the malls and stuff buying things...But we´re working hard with them and we´re hoping to get them baptized this month.

But yeah this week was pretty good. A LOT better than last week!!!! Thanks for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
