Goodbyes and Hellos

Today marks 7 months that Elder Meine has been gone from home, out serving the Lord.  He said goodbye to his friends in Torrijos Carter last week and embarked on a new chapter in his mission.  His new area is Vista Alegre.  First he sent a lot of goodbye photos from Torrijos Carter.

A family of investigators that I found! They love me to death, especially little Johan David. They're sad that I had to go, but they want me to come visit as soon and as often as I can! 

Johann David

Aroli!  My little punk friend!!

Hermana Romagoza came to visit the day before changes

Hermano Jorge's wife kept trying to hug me and it was weird. I pulled a classic hover hand to try and avoid it. Also Jorge was really drunk.

La familia Romañia!

She made me a cool necklace with my name on it!!
She wants to get baptized, but needs to finish the super long Panamanian marriage process first

And now he has a few pictures of his new home.  He actually was excited to report that he has grass, some random chickens that wander around and a lot less garbage!
