Donuts and Milk

Funny story this week! Elder Meine and Elder Ismael were in charge of breakfast this week for the District Meeting. But they didn't think about how 3 boxes of donuts and 2 gallons of milk would fit in to their tiny fridge.  So they employed a little creativity.

Then on their walk to the church one of the jugs of milk got hit by a car in an Elder's hand.  Elder Zamuido got knicked too.  He didn't get hurt and the milk survived... almost

The picture of the week has to be of the $130 Ham in a box that they saw while shopping at Price Mart! So ridiculous that he and Elder Adams HAD to take a selfie with it!

Changes

This past week were transfers in San Migueltio.  Elder Meine's companion got transferred.  He is now a SENIOR COMPANION!!  His new companion is Elder Ismael from Paraguay.  Also, two zones were merged together: Miguelito and Alcalde Diaz.  This new zone has 30 missionaries in it!  Elder Meine is excited!

A few of his new zone.

With Alex, an inactive boy in his ward.

This is Kenya, she is Elder Meine's favorite orphan.  He let her wear his wise man costume!

From Panama with Love

Monday (Dec 8th) was Mother's day in Panama.  Elder Meine only had 20 minutes of internet time, enough time to send off a short note home, but no photos.  Luckily, some of the other missionaries were able to send some home and their mother's shared them with me!  

San Miguelito Zone

Elder Totsch's TWO birthday cakes!

Reunion with the MTC crew!

Silent Night in Panama

Elder Meine visits an orphanage in Panama

Christmas zone conferences were this week.  Elder Meine had the opportunity to visit an orphanage and put on a nativity for the kids.  They also handed out soccer balls, dolls, and bubbles to the kids.

Of course Hunter was one of the WISE MEN!!  :)

The great tie he is wearing was a Christmas gift from his Uncle Steve and Aunt Michele!
It is proof that our Christmas package made it to Panama safe and sound!

Finally some pictures from PANAMA!

It has been a couple of weeks since Elder Meine sent pictures.  The computers down there are not as "high tech" as we are used to and some times he is unable to get them to read his SD card.  Today was like an early Christmas though!  So many great photos!  Enjoy!!

Re-United with the MTC gang!

Birthday cake for Sept, Oct and Nov B-Days!

The badge says "Elder Meine" but don't be fooled!

We have a Christmas tree in Los Ander, the main hub of everything in our zone! It's actually pretty sweet! 

It's too HOT to be November

Elder Meine's last letter home declared how HOT it is there in Panama!  Too hot to be November!  Not a lot of pictures this past two weeks but a couple of great one's while he was waiting for President interviews.  He looks great and sounds great!
