C.R. and Panama!

This has been such an awesome weekend. But I should start by writing about the week; it just feels like forever ago.

We did service Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Yay, finally we have enough calls and knowledge of the area to stay out reallly late! But not past dark, because we are not allowed…..haha. Plus me and Emily have been starting early. We just walk outside our gate and start talking to people.I love how even the really busy people will take the magazine and read it while they walk. Emily started an amazing Bible study with this girl who already prays for holy spirit before reading the Bible. Emily is going back tomorrow.

Then on Thursday we took the bus to Panama! at like 6am in the morning. I am the lazy butt who couldn't get out of bed early enough to walk to the bus station so we took a lovely 2 dollar taxi. I love the affordable taxis! It was hard work going from the bus ride to customs to walking across the Panama/Costa Rica bridge/border, then customs in Panama then a bus ride to the water, then a boat ride to Bocas del Toro island!   But well worth it! The cell phone did not work here so we found a pay phone and called the Pauls and then waited for them to meet us. I got the yummiest blended coffee with banana and cinnamon!

Emily's friends the Pauls are sooo nice and hospitable. We walked around the center for a little and then ate dinner at the Pauls, then played rummy! We stayed at this little hostel next to their place and got to take hot showers at their house!

Friday it was a little overcast, so we rented snorkel gear from a sister for 5 bucks. That was my first time snorkeling and it was awesome! Apparently the conditions were bad, but I had never seen better conditions, so I loved it. We saw coral reef and two little black fish!

I will finish this post later cori needs the interenet to do schoolwork!!!!!! andways i misss you guys!!!!!!!
