San Blas...Irgandi Island Here I Come!

Saying Goodbye to the Great Elder Hansen Farewell Elder Hansen and La Cabima! Note: This week Elder Doxey could only Instant Message us. The headphones and speakers in the Internet Cafe were broken. His camera is broken too. So, this week's letter is a summary of our messaging conversation, plus some explanation on the significance of today's communication. "El Sordomudo" ... We could only see each other and IM this week :) After spending nearly 10 of his 20 minutes trying to connect, we finally just decided to message each other. I could see him, but there was no sound. BIG NEWS OF THE WEEK! Elder Doxey has been transferred from La Cabima, San Miguelito Zone (just outside Panama City, near the Canal) to San Blas - Irgandi Island, a primitive Kuna (aboriginal Panamanian--Guna Yala) island where there are 40-50 structures/homes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuna_people The Guna Yala were not conquered by the Spanish / Hernan Cortez so t...

MyPlan & Awesome Senior Missionaries | Last Baptism in Sight

Hi all, Question: How are the last days of you mission shaping up? Elder Doxey: Well, next week should be my last P-day, and as tradition has it in our mission the last P-day is a big hike up to the Fiery Furnace State Park. So, I will probably not be calling next week, and this will be it. Question: Looks like you’re at the church with your zone getting exercise. How is that going? Elder Doxey: For P-day today, I have to say it’s a bit weird b/c our whole zone is here at the church and all are playing soccer, pickleball in the gym (with chairs for a net) and other games. It’s actually hard to even describe…literally, there are some missionaries whose moms sent them toys (nerf guns, no joke…remote control cars to race with in a gym—what the heck?) like they are little boys or something. This does not help with the focus we are supposed to have, (even during P-day), to say the least. Question: Like, what are some examples of what they’re doing? Elder Doxey: We should all have our mas...

Irgandi Food Edition | 2 Locals Speak in Church | Recovering from High Seas

Hi Family and Friends! This letter could literally be called "the Irgandi Food Edition" for many reasons. I am going to share a ton of pictures (b/c the Internet connection seems to be working at the moment). Time for some Iguana Soup Question: What's new? How are things going? Elder Doxey: This time of year in Irgandi is "Iguana Month", which means anyone with an escopeta (shotgun) goes hunting for Iguanas. The Kunas literally have an "Iguana Month"...it's kind of a big deal Typical San Blas Iguana Soup This makes it sound like people have shotguns here...they don't. I have only seen one that is used by all 250 people here, but it is really important b/c that is often how they get food. Looks like noodles, but is actually very young netted fish I have to admit, they do not know how to cook here, or make flavor happen. I guess they try, but everything they hunt and gather seems to end up boiled, with salt, lime, cocon...
