Well, this week the days have run together to feel like one day. Mainly because both my comp and I got pretty sick and had to spend a lot of time resting. It was... really boring. Not too many highlights and I don't even know if I can pull of an essay this time. Hopefully next week will be better.
Friends
Fredy and Yanett. Well. They moved to the island, and we lost connection with them and they didn't come to church. Really sad because they were doing so well. Hopefully they can make the trip to church one day so we can get back in contact. For now, it looks like we'll have to move on from them. Sad day. Dalisbeth is doing well, but with so much school she didn't have too much time for lessons, so we have to reschedule her baptismal date. Last time, we asked her if she received an answer about the things we taught and if she was ready for her baptism. She then told us that she had prayed and received an answer but forgot it. I don't know how that works, but she's still going strong so pray for Dalisbeth porfa. Orland and Christian. We haven't been able to make the canoe trip this week because we were sick, but Orlando is still being a legend by completing his commitments. This week, again, hopefully will be better.
P Day in David
We have Zone Conference in the city (David) so we all hopped on a little bus and took the 5 hour trip through the jungle. It's crazy beautiful with so much nature and even a few waterfalls. Today we get to have p day with the David zone and tomorrow we have Zone Conference! We also have saved up our money to be able to go to TGI Fridays and taste something other than rice and chicken. We may have taken it a little over the top and have been to prepare for it like a professional food eating competition. We'll see how that goes. And to make it even better, we also get to make a trip to the Panamanian Costco for protein and chicken bakes. It's going to be a good couple of days.
Well, that's basically it for the week. Studying and more studying. We did some exchanges so Elder Hulme could do some baptismal interviews, but we still had to rest due to a 102° fever. All of Almirante was crazy sick and we probably caught whatever we had from the members we visited. Or from drinking the water. (Of course we aren't unsmart enough to drink the water, but we do love a good chicha (what Panamanians call juice) every now and then from the members that feed us. We might be facing the consequences.) I hope y'all have a great week.
