Well, we've been livin it up in Panamá and it's been great. Seeing miracles, feelin the Spirit, bein crazy, etc. There's nothing like the mission. Nueganbi
To be honest, nothing crazy happenned this week. But still, I'll manage to pull off another masterpiece of an email. You're welcome.
Hammock
Well, here in Panamá I've discovered the value of a good hammock. I got my Eno from the states (thanks mom and dad 
) and set it up in our house. It's been getting colder at night and so I started to sleep in it... best decision ever. I sleep so well and wake up to an amazing sunrise. It makes mornings and nights so much better.

The hermanas are coming in clutch this transfer and have promised us zone jerseys! We'll see how they turn out.
Friends
ROBERTO FRANCHESKI is echando fuego! He came to church yesterday, really wants to change, and is reading the Book of Mormon! He's super cool. He's getting baptized this wednesday. Christian Loo has been working a ton and we haven't been able to meet with Him. During Holy Week a lot of people have been out of the house on vacation, so it's been rough. Nathalie, same thing. Vacation. We'll see what happens this week. Ignasio came to church with his wife! Ignasio has been less active since primary and came to church yesterday for Easter! We're hoping to help him want to put Christ first and help his wife get baptized so they can get sealed and be an eternal family! It's gonna be a process though...
Chair soccer
Well on the mission chair soccer goes crazy and all of us elders are drenched in sweat and going out for blood (figuratively.) It's sad to say but my soccer skills haven't improved too much and so I might've been schooled by the latinos. It's crazy fun though and brings my competitive side and crazy side together to the point I'm penguin-belly-sliding to save my chair. Sweat marks every where. So worth it.
Spirtual Thought
Easter! This week is the most important week in history. The Atonement of Jesus Christ! It was super special to he able to celebrate it in the service of the Lord. The three events that make up this atonement are all incomprehensible. The garden, the cross, and the tomb. When our Savior and Older Brother suffered all the sins, afflictions, pains, temptations, etc. Pains which caused Him to "bleed at every pore." An Atonement which was made perfect by the only Perfect Man, even the Son of God. The cross, with nails in hands and feet, where He experienced both spiritual and physical death. Forgiving His persecuters of this great horror that they had done. And the tomb. Where He arose the 3rd day, and overcame the world, opening the doors to ressurrection for all of us. And also providing us the opportunity to repent and be saved in His kingdom. Nothing can compare to what He did. Something to remember every day, not only once a year. A perfect act of pure love, saving all of us. REMEMBER HIM.
