The Fair and Another Change March 22, 2010

The fair was ... interesting. I sent you a guys a package but I'm not sure how long it will take to get there, but it only cost 9 bucks. There were tons of different booths from countries here in Central America selling stuff and there was TONS of food and the best of all the rides. I talk my companion into doing the Montana Russo with me. It's the biggest roller coaster they have in the fair. Not the best idea, it ends up that roller coasters here aren't so much like roller coasters in the USA. They're not well greased and smooth, felt more like a earthquake than anything. Poor thing, my companion, we were shaking all over the place and she hit her jaw on the safety guard and her cheek was all swollen the next day. All week she only chewed her food on one side of her mouth, looked like a little chipmunk which gave me a good laugh. Overall, the fair was fun but I think Disney World wins.

So today we had changes, I got moved to Chorrera. Don't know much, just got here. My new companion seems really sweet and I like her a lot. Her name is Hermana Galan and she is from Niciragua. I was really sad to leave David, I didn't think I would have changes. I had 2 baptisms planned in 2 weeks and a whole bunch of plans with the members. But I know the Lord has lots of work for me and that there is a reason why I'm here now. So yesterday I got to ride the 8 hour bus back to Panama City again. The exciting part is I got to sleep in the house of Pres. Madrigal last night and I took my first hot shower in 6 months. It was weird.

The past week I still had really horrible stomach pains, turns out I am more Mom than we thought. The doctor I talked to says I have the beginning of a stomach ulcer from stress. But not to worry he gave me some pills I have to take and I should be good to go. I've been taking them 4 days now and the pain is almost gone.

Everything is good here in Zion, just working my little heart out.

Love you all a ton and I hope this finds you all safe and sound.
Love, Hermy
