Gotta love those bus rides in Panama and meeting the New Mission President 12 July 2010

So I just sat on some guys lap in the bus and my adrenaline is still pumping. I was trying to get off the bus and slide past the guy that was sitting next to me, but the guy in front of me got up and I couldn't move so I was kind of stuck there in front of this poor guy and the bus driver braked and I went off balance and sat in his lap. Woops, my comp got a pretty good laugh, and you should have seen the look on the guys face. Gotta love Panama.

This week was about the same, I am definitely learning how to work diligently without seeing the fruits of my work. I was kind of stressed out last week because I've been working and working and for the first time in my whole mission I am going a whole change without a baptism, I just haven't been able to find anyone. But the Lord knows I am doing my best and working hard and I know I will receive the blessings when the time is right.

This week I met our new mission president and I absolutely LOVE him and his wife. They are super funny, super happy and amazing. Its like a complete 180 from Pres. Madrigal.

Stomach wise things are okay. I have really been careful about what I eat and I am going to the bathroom pretty regularly, but I still have stomach pains and I am all bloated. They do have that milk of magnesia stuff here so I´ll buy some of that. So I am surviving along those lines...

Thank you for everything you do for me. I miss you and love you a trillion!!!
Love,
Hermana Bloomfield
