Loma Coba B
Wow already 3 weeks in!
This week Elder Chavez and I worked really hard. Sometimes when we ask investigators to come to church or when we can teach the next lesson they say I’m busy or I have work or I’m sleeping or sometimes just get rejected. That can be hard to take in because everyone needs to hear the gospel. I try not to keep numbers but with lots of hard work obedience and diligence we found 20 new investigators in one day and supposed to have 6 baptisms this week. Super awesome!
I have to memorize all the lessons and scriptures because my comp keeps putting me on the spot mid lesson. It’s good because I gotta learn somehow. Haha! Loma Coba has soooooo manyyy hills! My legs are killing me if I don’t stretch morning and night. Still loving my fan. It stinks when the power goes out.
The members are so good. They feed us every night. I’ve learned how to eat lots of rice Haha! We talked to some Cunas. A mola takes about 2 years and they sell them for around 50 bucks. Pretty crazy. Nothing really that new. I’m kinda used to all the crazy things that happen every day. We taught a man that speaks fluent English and Spanish. Pretty cool!
Thanks for all the support!

NOTES from our conversation on Google hangout today:
-Loma Coba hills are similar to hiking Timp every day. I have my back pack with Books of Mormon and a few bottle of water.
-I sweat at least a liter of sweat each day.
-After three days in Panama I was seriously wondered what I was doing living here. 😊
-I saw a HUGE parrot and 3 horses this week.
-Our apartment lease is up in about a week. We’ve been trying to find a new place to rent and are having a hard time.
-Our shower has sooooo much mold in it. I don’t go near it without wearing my slides.
-There is about six inches between our beds.
-My companion is from Honduras. His dad is an area authority seventy…he comes from a strong family. He’s been in the mission 1 ½ months. He wears white arm sleeves so his arms don’t get burned so he has huge tan lines.
-I LOVE my boots! My comanion’s shoes are pretty nice leather boots. But, after three months of wear he has a huge hole in the bottom of them and now his socks are wearing out there too. He’s taped them up with black tape.
-We have SIX baptisms scheduled for Sunday. We’ll see what happens!
