PANAMA!!! Enjoy the Photos!

Hola mi familia!

Wow, we´ve got a whole lot of things going on this week! I´m not even sure what to write about, there´s just so much! First of all, Chris is going to be home this Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT´S JUST CRAZY!!!!! Wow!!!! I can´t believe he´s already going to be home. Chris, I can´t believe you´re already going to be home! Actually, when you read this, you will be home!!!! WOAH!!!! I´m just having way to much fun with this :) Well, that means that I only have 20 months left, which means I´ve already served 1/6 of my Mission! There´s just no way all of this is possible. I feel like a Greenie still. That, and my Spanish is HORRIBLE!!! Anyway, enough of the bold text and exclamation marks. How´s everything going at home? Sounds like you´ve all been preparing for Chris to come home, and for Christmas. Sounds like it´s going to be fun! Oh, by the way, sorry my e-mail is a day late, I wasn´t in the area yesterday. We went to an Island yesterday, and when we came back, there weren´t any buses back home. So we had to walk, and find someone to give us a ride back to the city. It was crazy. For this adventure, we left our house at 4 AM, and we didn´t get home until 9 PM. So we had a bit of a hard time with travels, but it was all cool. I´ll make sure to send you some pics with this e-mail. So yeah, we also had our Christmas Party today, and it was awesome! We had a lot of fun, and I got to talk with an Elder from my MTC District. It´s sad, cause I found out that Elder Hummel went home. He just couldn´t handle the mission and the spanish, so he went home. I hate it when Missionaries go home. The Mission is hard, but it´s definately worth it! The Mission is about serving the People, and serving the Lord. We are here as Missionaries to share something wonderful with these people, and to help them to receive the same blessings that we have as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, (or as they say in Panama, La Iglesia de Jesucristo de Los Santos de Los Ultimos Dias.)

Anyway, we already had our Christmas party, so there´s just one problem I have. I received one of your packages, so I took it to my house and the problem is that I find it staring at me all of the time. It´s kind of distracting having a package staring at you when you are trying to study, so I´m not sure if it will remain un-opened until Christmas, but we´ll see!

Time for answers for questions! I really like this part! First of all, yes Mik, it is Michael Mclain :) Second, I just want my friend´s email, so I can confirm with them when I get/send mail. That, and I might start my blog soon, so also to forward my blog message to them, so thanks Mik! Which leads to Mom´s questions, sure, you can put these on the blog if you want, but I will try to start writing a brief message for the blog each week. So look forward to that :) Also, my fridge still doesn´t work, but we don´t need one, cause I never eat at home anyway, so no worries okay? :) Okay Dad´s turn! Thanks for the Skype name, I will hopefully be Skyping you either Christmas or Christmas Eve. It depends on if a member has a computer or not. If not, we will have to Skype on Christmas Eve, cause I will have to go to an Internet Cafe in Albrook Mall. I will likely give you guys a phone call later this week to confirm our Skype time! So keep you´re phones on hand! So yeah, things are good here, but I´m a little concerned about some things at home, cause I heard that cousin James´ Dad died. Hopefully he´s okay. He´ll be in my prayers. Anyway, I hope you all have a great week, and a Merry Christmas! Also, Chris, have fun at home! I´m sure you´re going to have many things to catch up on (movies, sleep, etc). I´ll write you an RM Guide to Modern life! Well, I´ve got to go now. I love you all! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Enjoy the Pics! I´ll send more next time!

Love, Trevor
