I bought myself a Novia
(translation is girlfriend LOL)

Not quite sure how this worked, but they lifted Elder Alvarado up over their heads with only two fingers each... More unity, and maybe a little bit of overwhelming science and/or black magic

Tetter Totter meetings with the Ward mission leader.

Zone Meeting, playing the human knot and talking about unity in the work

Rainy season and broken swings

The work is progressing in Panama!  Elder Meine is finding that being a zone leader is a lot of work and teaches him a lot about patience and prayer!

This is Elder Cerrato.  He is with us in a trio for a couple of weeks while he waits for his new companion to arrive.  He is awesome!!

Waiting for lunch on the swings!!

Cerrato broke the swing!

It is rainy, stormy season in Panama

Life as a zone leader

First full week of being a zone leader in San Migueltio has come and gone.  Here is a few things Elder Meine had to say about it:

* Boy it is crazy!
* As a leader of all the missionaries you can see all of the problems and it's sad and stressful
* We're working hard
*It's a handful but the Lord put me here for a reason, so He'll provide a way


We helped at a ward car wash.  The youth are raising money to attend the Panama equivalent of EFY.

Multizone P-Days are the grestest!!

Elder Meine's loves sports!  So you can imagine that his favorite P-Days are Multi-zone ones!  There are always lots of opportunities to play basketball and soccer.  He loves to impress the Latinos with his mad gringo skills!

Elder Meine is in the light blue and white stripes.
