Happy Halloween

These are from the Polynesian activity we supported in Boquete. KAMA TE KAMA TE KORA KORA!!!!

 

 

We had a lot happen this week. Wednesday our zone traveled to Boquete to help the hermanas there with their activity. We all danced the Haka and a couple other Polynesian dances. We painted our faces and wore little skirts called lava lavas. A lot of people showed up to the activity and everyone had a good time. There is an hermana serving there from Tonga or Samoa that taught us all the dances. She danced by herself for several of the really complicated ones. The branch president gave us all a ride back to David after the activity. His back right tire blew out when we went over a pothole. I think there was too much weight in the back too. There were like nine of us stuffed in there. It took all of us and several other people we called to change it. When it blew out, the tire got really jammed onto the axle. We kicked the tire and rocked the car, but nothing seemed to get it loose. Someone finally went under the car and hit it from the other side which I thought was pretty dangerous since the car jack that comes with the car is a dinky little thing that could easily fall. We all got back pretty late. These are the times when it is good not to be the one in charge.

 

Our ward had an activity Saturday night in our chapel. It was to encourage temple marriages. Most of the single young women dressed up in wedding gowns and several couples gave talks. The young women were given sponsors that found a dress for them to wear and made them up. It was really strange being there as a missionary, but we had six investigators show up, so we stuck around. My companion has been really worried about going home and getting married. He leaves in January.

 

Our zone will have changes this week. I will wait here in my area with another missionary and wait for our companions to get here. It is strange receiving the changes for all of the missionaries in my email right now. It is a different perspective.

 

I hope everyone has a great week. It is raining right now.

 

Love,
