I figured out a quick way to repair a tie. :)
That is a part of our area
Today we did a service project and painted a house of a member!
My old ward, but the other area, Loma Cová
We went on divisions in the area with the biggest and most hills in the mission. :
We helped some sisters move houses and fit EVERYTHING in the truck. We only did one trip. :)
Elder Jensen and I
Some photos from Palmas Bellas, Darien when we went out there a couple of weeks ago. We slept in hammocks because we bought them in San Blas and took them out to Darien. Those hammocks have enough room to fit 2-3 people. They are called matrimonial hammocks. They are made in Columbia and sold in San Blas. I love them:)
We also did a service there as well for the local school with the ward. It went really well!
Darien is beautiful. It is a great place. The people that live here live as if you were in Montana or Wyoming where it's very rural and there really isn't much... :) But it is amazing and the people are great.
In this picture the guy is wearing that hat; those hats are typical and native to Panama. You will see all of the older people wearing those hats. It's a part of their history and culture. They can cost anywhere from $50-$300. They are serious about their hats, haha
This little guy is named Hyrum. He was a great helper that stuck with me the whole service. I learned a lot from him. It's amazing how much you can learn from someone and how much you can love them in such a short amount of time. He told me that the way they get around is by riding their horses. He said that they had 8 and that one was on the way. That is truly the interior.
This was the lunch after the service. It was the best soup I have had here in Panama.
They sure know how to cook out there! They were just great and kind people.
I found this bug during the service and I don´t know what it is but it looks pretty crazy.
More photos from Palmas Bellas
This is a picture of a guy passed out on the sidewalk. It happnes a lot.
So we put a card and pamphlet by and on him to help him out. :)
Traffic in Panama is HORRENDOUS. It helps one to develop much patience :)
We did District Leader Trainings
We flew out to David with President on Thursday morning to the trainings.
I went on divisions with Elder Castillo, a new missionary in the mission who is in Palmas Bellas.
He is a great missionary from El Salvador.
So we put a card and pamphlet by and on him to help him out. :)
Elder Bird was in the MTC with me. We now have officially 18 months and
he wanted to take a picture. So we did.
We had District Leader Trainings in both the City and the Interior (David, Bocas, Chitré, etc.)
The flight lasted about 30 minutes. Driving it would take about 7 hours.
This is Elder Olander. He is Brian's twin. If Brian was a missionary again, he would be Elder Olander.
He reminds me of Brian almost too much...
This is a pic with Elder Teichert and Elder Franco! They are in the Concepción Zone, by David, in Volcán.
It gets really cold in Volcán, enough to wear a jacket. There is no place like it in Panama.
It is as beautiful as the Garden of Eden. It is a great place. I would buy a house there it's so nice.
More photos of the houses in the area. Many parts are really wealthy.
This is our area!
