"Hey everyone!! I hope everyone has had a Merry Christmas! This week has been pretty good. This week hasn't been the most productive week in the mission field here in Panama. Sadly, the closer we got to Christmas the less people that were willing to listen to our message. Many preferred to just get drunk and light off fireworks. However, we did have a pretty cool branch Christmas party. Nearly 200 people showed up. Its funny the difference that having food at an activity makes. I completely understand though. I often went to church activities when I knew there would be food. Yesterday I had the opportunity to talk with my family on skype. that was awesome!! It was kind of weird though because it was a little difficult for me to talk. When I was learning Spanish I had to learn how to translate English to Spanish. Now I have to do the opposite and translate Spanish to English. That's okay though because I think now more before I talk. Ha!! That will be good for me when I get home. Well..that's pretty much it for today. I cant really think of anything else to write right now. I'm pretty tired because I haven't slept in nearly two days. Our neighbors are big fans of playing dirty music as loud as they possible can the ENTIRE night. Well got to go. Have a good week everyone! Love you guys!!!"
