My prayers MIGHTY

Elder Meine has continued to grow spiritually each day in the mission field.  His prayers have become so lengthy and powerful that well, a picture explains it best

"My companion fell asleep during my evening prayer!"

Moving homes and retiring old shoes

Elder Meine is still serving as the zone leader.  However, because of his duties and responsibilities, he and his companion moved to a new place that was closer to the stake center. Their new area is called Los Andes.  When Elder Meine packed for the move he tried to get all the essentials into his suitcase.

I don't think the chair made it to the new place.  The new area is now walking distance to everything they need; stake center for meetings, internet cafes, shopping, food, etc. He included some of the views from his home.

Elder Meine had this to say about the new area.....

"I'm liking this new area a lot more!  We've already taught a lot of lessons and found several people to teach.  The Hermanas gave us a brief tour of the area (before they were transferred out) and we are continuing to teach some of the investigators that they had, some of which have committed to future baptismal dates with either us or the hermanas.  The mission leader here is the coolest too and we are going to be working way hard with him!!"

Elder Meine took his favorite high school running shoes to Panama for his P-Day activities.  It looks like after 15 months they are finally done.

Conference and Glo Sticks

Elder Meine got to watch conference in English again (hooray!) His favorite talk was by President Uchtdorf on Saturday morning.  Read or listen to the talk here!

One of Elder Meine's roommates got a package this week and it had GLO STICKS!!  They all sent some sweet messages home.

Elder Meine is so blessed to be serving in an area where he can frequent the temple!

Great to see passed companions!

Even better when you run in to your MTC buddies!

Being the Zone leader meant Elder Meine got to go back to Torrijos Carter and visit one of his favorite familes!

Elder Meine finally sees the Canal

After over a year in Panama, Elder Meine finally took a P-Day to go and see the Panama Canal.  In his exact words he said "It's pretty cool, but after one trip - I think I'm good".

This is our new motto for our zone.... THE CANAL NEVER STOPS!!

Missionaries LOVE temple days!!
