Hola everyone!
There is an investigator couple named Ana y Juan... The recent converts of the ward (yesterday we were there at the blessing of their house) are two old women. One has to use a wheel chair most of the time, and it takes four men/young men to carry her up the stairs...
One interesting fact about my experience here is that no one uses seatbelts very often... The roads are not too good in most neighborhoods because the government made the streets before putting in pipes for water or other things, so they often have to tear up the streets, put in the pipes, and then not repair well the roads...
The members hadn't been too involved the missionary work, nor the leaders; but recently the Mission Pres. sent a letter to the Bishops and more and more the members seem to be ready and willing to help. We generally get at least one meal from members a day, sometimes two. All over the place are stores called ''chinos'' because there are chinese people here, and they work a lot...
The Temple is in a place called Cardenas. I am not sure how far it is, but it is the the province of Panamá called 'Panamá' (there are 9, and two are 'comarcas' [land owned by Panamá but not governed by it]).
The new mission president will come in June, I think. He is Pres. Ward from California. I think he speaks Spanish, but his wife doesn't....
I might not have time to send pictures, but we'll see.
Anyway, until next week,
Love,
Elder Niendorf
