"Hey everyone!!! Well another week has passed bye. Its honestly crazy how quick the mission is going. Not a whole bunch really happened out of the ordinary this week. I know were getting closer to Christmas but I honestly don't feel it. The days are actually starting to get hotter even though that doesn't seem possible here. This week I was sick two days in a row with a pretty bad cough and stomach problems so we lost 2 days working. Also, this past Wednesday they celebrated mothers day. To all of those in this group message that are mothers, HAPPY PANAMANIAN MOTHERS DAY. Mom! you get two mothers day from now on. haha! We didn't get to really work that day either because everyone left their mothers to go get drunk at the bars. Kind of ironic but that's what happens on free days here. Its even worse on Christmas and mothers day. O well. We do our best to help these people. We had 6 investigators in church this week. One of them is our recent converts (Robelia) husband. That was cool to see him in church. We haven't even taught him yet but were going to start tomorrow. Were planning to have the wedding of the Martinez family this Friday. We started the process helping them to get married when I first got to Veracruz. Its not easy. Its pretty tough. However, an end is in sight and they've both been attending church each week. Once they both get married, they can get baptized. I'm excited for that. Well..I wish I could say more but I honestly cant really think of much to say. I hope all of you have a good week! Love you guys! Oh..and those of you that haven't seen the video called Thanks to Him you should check it out. Search it in youtube and write mormon messages. Its pretty great. Well got to go. Love you guys!!!"

"I finally got the computer to work sending pics.."
"Here is one of the poisonous frogs that live in the rainforrest. I had to get a pic of course... .there is jungle in panama. This was from a day that we did service with machette at a members home" 
"Another pic from Robelias baptism. Usually they have to take off the bracelets before baptism. However, in her culture they usually don't take them off. They can even enter in the temple with the bracelets on their arms and legs."
"Last week my comp bought 6 lobsters for $10. They're small lobsters but super cheap."
"Some pics at the place where we do service projects. We go there once a week since they have a ton of land. In one pic the land looks cleaner. We cut all the overgrowth by hand with machette.- In the other pic, its another part of they're property we haven't started on yet. Also, I like the view from their house. You can see the ocean in the background."
