Week 73 (October 10, 2017)

Alright what a week we had. Found some nuevos, taught some people we already had, dropped a whole lot of people that weren't willing to progress (always sad but has to be done to make room for the people who will progress) Had a confirmation and had 2 baptisms. 

This week I made banana pancakes. They sounded good and went great, all the way until I flipped them over and back and turns out all of the bananas just stick to the pan. SO then i changed ideas and made some banana juice called maddun. Basically I just boiled some bananas for a few minutes on a stove I made and drank it. It was bomb!!! 

Also this week it was raining one day really hard. We were walking to an appointment and the roads had basically become rivers and so rather than walking in the road I went for the sidewalk and well turns out the sidewalk was just a 4 foot ditch. After i fell in rather than getting out I told my comp to take a picture and although its a little blurry its better than nothing. I hand washed the pants, shirt and shoes that night, and wore all 3 of them the very next day. No harm no foul ehh? 

Lately I have really been treating my companion to the panama life, and more than that the life of Verecruz. We eat lots of fish, I cooked a shark on Friday, we sleep in hammocks, we drink weird panama drinks, or sometimes things the natives make. I love training so much. My comp is such a great missionary he always reminds me how I can be more Christlike and i always look at him and wonder if I was ever that young and innocent, I hope I was and at the same time I hope I wasn't haha. 

Anyway i think that's it for the week!! Hopefully i have more to write about next week as well as some more pictures. Love and miss you all!!
