We saw a Kuna wearing a mask of the face of Donald Trump. It was hilarious. Apparently this guy has a habit of using his coconut money on masks and using those masks to jump scare the missionaries.
The Lord's Work
Living and working in small village leads one to infer that there's only so much you can do. Only so many people you can meet. Only so many people you can teach. Etc. The Lord has shown me that there is always something waiting to be done in His work. This week, we found 5 people who want to be baptized. Just from talking to everyone, being a good person, serving, and following the Spirit. Doors that were once closed get opened by following the Lord's will and putting in the effort. I don't know if they'll all make it to the end, but with the Lord I know it's possible.
Guna Revolution
100 years ago, the Panamanian government started oppressing the Kunas and their culture. The Kunas fought back and with the help of the USA they won. Every February they celebrate with a massive party including strange rules that if they aren't kept will lead to a fine. This year being the 100th aniversary, they're throwing a huge party and hyping it up a ton. Around the 25th is when the main event will take place, but smaller reenactments and cultural presentations are starting up.
Waterfall
For p day we made a hike to a beautiful water fall. It was a super cool experience and we were able to see some cool wildlife as well.
Other things:
