Hi mom!!! Sorry for not writing haha, I was trying to send fotos.. Welp the worst news... Im going to Colon #theghetto. They are taking out the Hermanas out of San Blas and putting in Elders. President had another crazy revelation. Told me he was switching me from Island to island trying to figure out which one the Lord wanted me on, but still felt like something wasnt right. Told me that yesterday I was going to Carti Tupile, and all of the sudden I had to go elsewhere. So now Im gonna be an Hermana Leader in Colon. My comp is Hermana Rodriguez from Honduras and she is suuuuper cool. I still havent met up with her yet because we are waiting our maletas (suitcases), but I know her from Penonome. Shes going home this next change. I wrote my other weeks down when we didnt have internet, so I will try to send them to you today. I am soooooo tired hahaha! They called us at like 6:00 when we were in the middle of a baptism haha, so we had to spend allll night packing our junk and everyione came to our house to say bye. I cried a lot to be honest, but I know that the Lord is sending me where HE wants me to go. I may not be the hugest fan of it right now, but I know I will start to see the blessings! I am honored to be an instrument in the hands of the Lord and I know He loves His children! I am going to learn to love the people of Colon just as I love the Cunas as children of God.
Anyways, right now we are in the offices writing. This last week consists of baptisms of Sergio and Aileth and YULEIMY!!!! Supppper duper special, her baptism. I have to go fast cuz a lot of Elders are waiting to write, but that's the rough draft haha.
I love you soooo much!

Questions:
Do you eat eat any fruits or vegetables on the islands? Do they grow them there?
that is quite accurate. No fresh fruits or veggies, but now i am going to eat a ton of them haha!nosotras con los alumnos de seminario, otros son algunos miembros de la rama
