San Blas Island pics

Excerpts & Pictures from Jaden's emails sent home 8/30/2016:
"The pic is of me and some friends at zone conference attempting to fish out of the toilet. haha! There are always a ton of fish over there. We wanted to say we caught a fish out of the toilet. Ton of bites but we didn't get one"

"The other picture shows the view from our porch every morning when the sun rises."

"Here are some pictures showing the trail to Irgandi from Ukupa. One pic is of the cliffside you have to pass by and the other is showing the river you have to pass through. The deep part of the river goes up to your belly button sometimes and you have to wade through it."

"This is me bathing in Irgandi. The river where they live is in the jungle. The day I took this pic there were monkeys playing in the trees above us. I couldn't get a picture of them though because I was in the water."

"This pic is my hammock with all the netting. Mosquitoes are crazy here. They are huge! It stings when they bite you. They get bigger than my thumb nail and I actually thought it was a completely different bug when I first got here due to the size. Missionaries have also got malaria here. My trainer Perkes got it during his time in my area. Luckily, they give us this medicine called Supramycina which supposedly prevents more than one type of disease in addition to helping with acne. Nice bonus."

"Here I'm sending a picture that I took while in Irgandi. Its missionary technology. haha! Some of the last missionaries that served there were clever. They found a way to make a urinal out of a small hole in the wall. It works pretty well."

"The other picture is from when we had our zone conference in Playon Chico. I thought the picture looked cool. I set the camera on a green hymn book and it gave it that green glow look. ha!"

"I'm sending here another picture of the sunset while we were at Playon Chico."

"Here is a pic of me shaving. Kids that it was funny watching me. There were like 15 kids watching. That's pretty normal. Its the same way when I'm at the well cleaning myself."

"This picture is me with the other area called Irgandi. It's another small area."

"This other picture is how we collect water. We just put buckets under the roof and we gather water that way. The green garbage can is our water collector. We use the other buckets to wash dishes and flush the toilet. When we don't get rain water and run out of our supply we have to get water all the way from the river."

"Here are some of the jungle flowers and plants."
