Arroz Con Everything

12 days til christmas!  Things actually dont feel anything like christmas around here because summer in panama has officially started and it is SO HOT!!   But it was a good week as usual.  Not a whole lot to tell but here are the highlights-

We had the coolest lesson ever on monday night.  We had done a contact at the house and we went back and yelled from the street and we could see a whole bunch of people inside but they were all looking at us and then calling to make someone else to come out and talk to us which is pretty normal so we figured they were going to come out and tell us they couldnt see us.  but then one of the guys came out and invited us in and then the whole family turned off the tv and listened to us.  What?!  That never happens!   And it gets better because one of the couples is married and the other couple is the daughter and son in law of one of our favorite members!   They were awesome and we are going back tomorrow to teach again!

We went on saturday and ate arroz con mariscos (seafood)  and we ate SO much of it!   And then that night was the ward christmas/mothers day  (happy panamanian mothers day btw) and we ate so much more rice!!!   Thats really how you know christmas is coiming in this country....no white snow but lots and lots of white rice:)   

One of the primary kids got baptized and we had helped the mom a little bit in her baptism prep and so they invited us to the baptism.  And guess who got to give a talk on the spot!!   

We get to share the new Christmas video with everyone and I really love it!  My favorite part is that at the end it says Averigua Porque.   And I think thats the key.  When we really find out why God gave his only begotten Son for us, personally, is when we find the peace!   Thats all I got for this week, cant wait to talk to you all soon!!
