Santa Librada (Week 7 in Panama)


I`m really sorry that I won`t be able to write very much this time! My computer had a malfunction and I had to get help, thankfully the man that helped me spoke English, but all the same the time kept going while he was helping me and they didn't give me any more time! Sometimes I really hate computers! I wanted to reply to some of the things that you said but I`m just going to write as much as I can so I can`t really keep looking up. 

Alrightttt so my new area is San Librada, [I'm pretty sure she means Santa Librada. It looks like it's just north of Panama City-- part of a metropolis perhaps] which is pretty much...well it is, in the city! So I`ll be able to get letters a lot faster!! At Cambios aka I think the word is "transfers" in English, I got like ten letters!! So I finally got the family letter and man it was so good to read it. I`m going to try to be able to respond to it. Rachelle if you end up reading this I got your letter!! I also got...I think five letters from Greg and one essay from Jake :D So happy to finally have received letters!!!!  I hope I spelled San Librada right...anyways. 

So my companion`s name is Hermana Alvarez, don`t know if that`s spelled right, she`s from Mexico!! We share a house with two other Hermanas and they`re both from Guatemala. 

The area is so different from Chitre. Chitre was really dry and all of the plants were like yellow, but here everything is so greeeen and it`s been raining like crazy. I've started using my umbrella...like every day! haha. 

The people here aren't as receptive and don`t really let us in very often, but the people that do really seem ready.

So yeah everything's good, my health is good....I`m tanner and learning more Spanish because there`s nobody that speaks English! Well in my zone there`s two USA peeps and the Latins speak a little bit of English butttt we don't really talk in English. 

We`re going to some place called the Causeway to go skating and ride bikes and fun stuff like that today. 

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!! 

The church is true!
Hermana Hannah
