14 Nov 2011

Hey everyone!!

This week’s been another rough one. This week I came down with some kind of cold that kind of kicked my butt a little bit but its getting better! Tuesday morning when I woke up my throat was hurting super bad and I couldn’t breathe through my nose so that was pretty awesome haha. Then I lost my voice by about Thursday but now it’s back and the cold seems to be going away so I think I’m getting over it. I guess we’ll see!

Because I was sick my comp didn’t want to work too hard because it’s been raining a ton this week and he didn’t want me getting wet and making things worse so we just kind of took it easy this week. Which was kind of a bummer because I hate just sitting around doing nothing and would rather be out teaching but I guess once I get totally better we’ll just have to work extra hard to make up for the time we lost!

This week we continued teaching the Jaen´s which are a family we found in the record book. They were taught by the missionaries almost a year ago and then for some reason the missionaries just quit going. I’m not exactly sure of the reason. But anyways, they aren’t married like most people here in Panama but they want to be baptized so we got the papers started for them to get married and it should be the end of this month some time so that will be sweet! We also set a baptismal date for the end of the month to; I think they’ll get married on like a Friday and then baptized the next day on Saturday so it should be a pretty awesome weekend ha-ha. They both have super strong testimonies of the church and have read the book of Mormon. It’s so awesome!

This week we taught a lady who we had contacted earlier this week but she didn’t have time to talk to us then so we made an appointment to go back. When we went back all of her siblings were there and her mom as well. We taught them about how families can be together forever and the mom got super excited about the church at that point. She said that she wanted to come to church with us on Sunday and she was going to make her husband come too haha. Unfortunately when we went back to get her, the daughter said that she had to leave town because there was a family issue or something like that. But we’re gonna go back this week and see if we can get her to come next week.

This week’s been hard being sick and all but I’m getting better and hopefully be back at work hard again soon! Sorry I don’t have much else to say for the week.

Love you all thank you for all of your support and prayers!
