Well I knew it was gonna happen and sure enough it did haha. I got the call on Tuesday night telling me that I had changes. Ha luckily I pretty much already knew I had them so I already had most of my bags packed up so I could just chill that night. I was pretty nervous about where I was going like usual and who my new comp would be but they both turned out awesome.
My new comp is Elder Goodfellow from Midvale, UT. He´s super cool! Ha he has the same time left in the mission as I have in the mission right now haha if that makes sense. Ha I have just over 6 months and he leaves in just under 6 months. He´s way cool though and we´ve worked super hard since I’ve been here. Ha neither of us thought that we would get another gringo comp but it´s been pretty fun. We have a sweet area and I think we´ll be able to have a lot of success up here. Ha another cool thing about it is that since he has so much time in the mission he knows a ton! I’ve already learned so much from him so I can´t wait to see what else I’ll learn from him this change!
My new area is in David, Chiriqui. Ha its way up on the northern end of Panamá. Honestly I didn´t really want to go somewhere far because I heard that the bus rides are forever! And that was right ha we left Panama City around like 2:30 in the afternoon and arrived here in David at about midnight! Ha it was kind of a cool bus ride though, there´s a whole lot more of panama that I didn´t even know existed and the terrain is way different than I expected. And the bus we got to ride was a double decker bus so that was kinda cool haha. Things are way different up here than they were in the city though. Things are way more relaxed and the people are super nice up here and the biggest difference is that it´s all FLAT! It´s crazy haha but I kinda like it.
Because our area is so flat and it´s actually a pretty big area we get to use bikes up here! Ha it´s awesome! We can get places so fast and we´re so much more productive! Yesterday we had to leave the bikes home though and walk around, ha I never realized how much more ground we can cover while on the bikes. Ha the only bad thing about it is my butt is killing my right now haha but that´s alright I’ll get over it.
Since I’ve only been here for a few days I haven´t gotten to know the members super well yet but they all seem way cool and our investigators are super positive so I’m really excited to be working here. We´re gonna see some miracles happen this change!!
Thank you for all your love and support
