Hola otra vez!

November 21, 2011

Hola mi Familia,

Didn´t I just do this yesterday? Seems like it, but I guess yet another week has gone by, and here I find myself writing again! Well, your letters to me this week didn´t really say anything about what you´ve all been doing. So I don´t know what to write :( I did get a short story from Chris, and it sounds like Elder/Brother Golden(can´t remember which one it is) was very cool. It sounds like it was a great experience! I´m jealous! So far, we haven´t had anyone come and speak do us here in Panama. Oh well... Also, I didn´t receive a message from Dad this week. What´s up with that? Nah, it´s okay, my email has many problems! I don´t like it very much!!!
Anyway, I guess I´ll answer more questions from last week´s messages.
First up: MY HOUSE:
My house is small, and when we got there it was really dirty. It had lanolium floors (no idea how to spell that), but most of the flooring has been torn up. My house has 2 rooms and a bathroom. The windows aren´t actually windows, they are patterns cut into the bricks, and many things come in those holes! I´ve had many things in my house, like spiders, giant ants, wasps, unknown insects, and a bat! There are giant spiders in some places in panama, but all of the ones in my house are small, but creepy! Also, at my house, we have to turn off the water every night, and when we go out. Which leads me to the bathroom! Our toilet is small, and it doesn´t have a toilet seat. Then we have the thing that I hate here in Panama.....Cold Showers!!!!. First of all, we don´t have much water pressure, second, no actual shower head, and third, it´s REALLY COLD!!! Some days, I ask why we even have a shower, because it rains HARD, and it rains EVERY DAY :) I actually like that part of Panama! My first week here, I didn´t have an umbrella, so my comp. and I got soaked! It was fun!!! Anyway, to continue, the fridge doesn´t work, so everything is in the freezer. So some mornings my milk is frozen solid :( Also, my favorite thing in the house is our fan! We keep it on at night while we sleep, and it is AMAZING!!!
Anyway, enough about my house! This week has been a rollercoaster of crazyness! The begining of the week was pretty good. We are teaching 2 families and I think 5 or 6 other people regularly. The families are awesome! I´m really hoping that they will be baptized soon! We do have another baptism this week. She is a 17 year old girl named Amy Rodriguez. She´s a great investigator! She loves what we teach, and knows that it is true. So she´s really easy to teach! Also, I´m sure that you would find it interesting that she is part Panamanian, and part Chinese! Yeah, it´s funny, there´s actually alot of Chinese people here in Panama. In fact, ALL of the stores are owned by Chinese people, so the people here call the stores Chinos! Anyway, I´m excited for yet another baptism!
Well, I want to share more stories, but I´m running out of time! So tell me, how are you all doing? Everything still good at home? Do anything cool lately? Spiritual Experiences? I want to hear it all!!! I love hearing from all of you, and trust me when I say that I even love to hear the little things! Also, it´s kind of random, but I got a Dear Elder from Sam Parker before I even sent my Mission Address. Could you ask her how she did it? I want to tell the Family and Friends how to do it as well. Anyway, I love you all very much, and I can´t wait to hear from you next week! ¡Hasta Luego!

Con Amor, Trevor
