Day at the Temple 16 August 2010

Well it looks like you and I are pretty much on the same page, I got sick this week too. I got some virus flu thing and had a fever of 101, I think I went kind of delirious so my companion called a member to bring me some pills and a blessing and now I'm all up and kicking again.

This week was a busy week, Tuesday was my companions birthday, Wednesday we had interviews with the mission President. Which were amazing. I absolutely love President and his wife.

Also in my interview, President gave me permission to go to the temple the next day with my converts from Chorrera, so I called the Branch Pres in Chorrera and found out what time I needed to be in the temple and tried to go to bed early. The next day my comp and I got up at 4 am to be at the temple a little before 6am. I got to the temple super excited and there were the Branch President and some members there, but no where in sight were my converts. But the Branch Pres told me the rest of the group would get there at noon, so my comp and I decided to do a session and wait till noon. We did a session and 2 hours of initiatory, which was amazing. I love the temple so much. And then at 11:30 we started looking for my converts and I was informed that now they would be there until 2. So we went to eat lunch and at 2 they still weren't there. Finally at 4 they got there, and I got to talk to them and take pictures but at this hour I had important lessons to go to and couldn't enter the temple with them. But it was exciting to watch them go in the temple. Then my comp and I sat crushed in a bus for 2 hours because there was tons of traffic before finally getting to the house. Super long day but in the end it was worth it all. The next day we worked our butts of and the next two days I was super sick. And that was my week.

My area won't be on a map because its just outside of Panama City, like Acalde Diaz so its like a suburb, not a city. I can see the skyscrapers from my house.
I sent off some pics today so you guys should get them soon.

Also, I don't need you to send me some shoes I found some this week, so I am all good to go.

My lizard came with me.

I love you and I am so grateful for all you do for me.
