HOLY COW CHRIS!!! YOU´RE GOING HOME!!!!!

December 12, 2011

Hola Mi Familia,

Well, I have to say, finally had a week that seemed like it took forever to get over with! It´s probably because I got sick again! It kinda felt like the flu, but without much puking... So yeah, enough about being sick! I´m actually feeling quite well right now, so no worries! Anyway, this week was just crazy as always. We found another investigator family, and they are awesome! I just hope that they accept it all! Here in Panama, our Mission Pres is always emphasizing that we should find families to teach, because families are central to God´s Plan, and are more likely to stay active in the Gospel. Anyway, the only problem with that family is that the husband likes to hide from us. I think it´s because he has an inappropriate tattoo, but it could just be that he´s shy. Well, as long as this week felt, nothing really eventful happened, but the work is still going quite well, and the Lord is blessing us a lot as we work here in San Vicente. So yeah, the work´s going good!!! By the way, I got mail today!!!! I was so excited!! I got a letter from John, Chris A, and Jake & Debb. I love that I got mail, but those are some of the people who I wrote three weeks ago, and I haven´t had to opportunity to send my letters.... So now I have to write new letters!!! In Panama, sending mail is frustrating, but on the other hand, receiving mail is nice :) So yeah, it was nice to hear from all of them. I saw a date on the letter from Chris Abbott, and he sent it on the 16th of November!!! So it really takes a while for mail to get here!!! Also, Debb and Jake sent me a photo of Asher, and he´s growing up!!! I showed it to all of the missionaries, and they all love his deep-blue eyes! He´s going to be a lady´s man in high school! :) Anyway, sounds like things are going well for all of you! Also sounds like you´re getting ready for Christmas! FUN!!! Which also means that you´re getting ready for Chris to come home!!! HOLY COW CHRIS!!! YOU´RE GOING HOME!!!!! That´s so crazy! You´re already finishing with the work, and I´m sure that you´ve learnded a lot during your time as a Missionary. Though you only have a little time left, you need to make sure to go all the way to the finish line! No being all ponchera (lazy, trunky, disobedient, etc) okay? :) Though I can´t talk much. I had about 5 minutes of trunky-ness this last week. We were looking at camera´s, cause mine broke, and Elder Bradford says, "hey, what´s that?" So I turn around, and to my suprise, right behind us is the 3DS booth. So I told him what it was, and now he wants one. But I found out that a lot of great games have come out for the 3DS, which made me a little trunky. So I looked over to Elder Tauta, and told him that I needed to get out of the store, cause it was making me trunky! So yeah, I like video games and all, but I think I can wait another 20 months for that! I find that in the mission, I don´t really think about that stuff very often. I´m way to busy during the day to even think about many things. So I´m all good.

Anyway, time to answer some questions! First of all, I have no idea when, or where, I will be Skyping you guys. So I´ll try to figure that out this week. Also, send me you´re Skype name, address, or whatever it is that I need to Skype with you all. I can´t wait to talk with you all on Christmas!!! I´m Excited!!! Also, everything´s just fine with me. The Parrot that bit me was tiny, so it didn´t even leave a mark. So yeah, it sounds like you all enjoyed my e-mail last week, but it sounds like I confused you a bit as well. When I was talking about walls, I really meant steep hills! And YES, Papaya´s are nasty! Also, the children here remind me of the times playing with the cousins, and it´s really fun at times. Well, I always feel so bad, cause once I get to this part of the email, I forget the questions :( Well, I did get a camera this week, but I´m going to return it, cause I got the wrong one... So yeah, I´m working things out over here. Also, thanks for sending Christmas packages! I don´t know when I will get them, but thanks for sending them, and the pics I requested! Well, I don´t have much time left. I just feel horrible that I spent so much time talking about my week, and so little time answering your questions. SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So how are things going for all of you? For all of you at home, how was the Forgotten Carols? I love that music!!! Also, Chris, sounds like Chaz is freakin awesome! I want an investigator like him!!! Anyway, tell me how you´re doing! I love to hear all of your stories, and experiences. Wait! Before I go, Christmas here in Panama is strange. First of all, this time of year, everyone paints their house, which is weird. For Christmas, people decorate their doors, and put up Christmas lights. Some people have Christmas trees, but not everyone. Well, I´ll tell you more next time! Tell me how you´re all doing! Can´t wait to hear from you next week! LOVE YOU ALL!!!! Til next time!!!

Love Trevor - P.S. Mik, could you send John and Chris Abbott my email please? Thanks!
