Some of you have said it was about time to post another blog so I have gathered some pictures I think you may find interesting and pictures of our house. Hope you like them.

| A tree not far from our house that is loaded with coconuts. A lot of times they just let them fall and rot and then they burn them. |
 |
| This is obviously a dead frog smashed on the road. Dad's shoe shows you how big it is. We see these dead and smashed all the time. I have yet to see a live one. |
 | |||||||
| This is the Chitre Zone. We met today for Zone conference and then the whole zone went to the fair. With Dad and me there are 7 North Americans amongst the 26 of us. |
 | |
| At the fair. Dad and his dream tractor. |
 |
| Brahmas at the fair. These boys are kids from school with their uniforms on on a field trip and just wanted to be in the picture. |

| Heather, this one is for you. This guy is making snow cones. He has this huge block of ice that he shaves off for every snowcone, then he covers them with flavoring that must be sugarless because then he puts on Sweetened Condensed milk on the top. It's pretty good actually. |
 |
| Dad wanted you to see these spotted cows almost like an Appaloosalease notice the long ears. |
 |
| Wares at the fair. The guy at the saddle shop said he made the saddles he had for sale. |
 |
| They were actually making some of the furniture they were selling at the fair. Some guy had just finished spraying the finish on the chair. |
 |
| Look carefully. This was in the agricultural section of the fair. These are watermelons they are growing on vertical poles. As the watermelon grows they put them in little nets and secure them to wires on the vines. Wild! |
 | |
| Dad wanted you to see this. All of these cows are for sale. They all have halters on their heads and can be lead to where they will be seen to sell. Dad took this picture so it is a little hard to see but there is a man in a hammock beyond the spotted calf that is "living " there, watching over his cattle until their new owner leads them away. |
 |
| This is the pool that belongs to our subdivision. It very rarely has someone in it. We always cut through there on the way to the bus stop because it saves us some time. This is Dad talking to Edwardo, who is the grounds keeper (taking a little dip) he begged us to go swimming with him. It was Sunday afternoon on our way home from Conference. |
 |
| This darling little thing is my washing machine. I love it because it keeps me out of the laundromat! |
 | |
| This is where I hang my clothes, in this bedroom.They are still working on the fence in the back yard. When it is finished there is a nice clothes line I can use out there. |
 |
| Guest room: Ready, waiting and air conditioned! |
 |
| New dining Room table and 6 chairs |
 |
| living room |
 |
| tiny but workable kitchen |
 |
| Both of the bathrooms are just this size but they are clean and there are 2! |
 |
| Our new desk and printer |
 |
| This is our room. Clean and cool. |
 |
| This is a bunch of our missionaries eating at the fair and Dad with our neighbor who owns a restaurant and had a booth at the fair. Our hermanas are the really cute ones you can see starting at Dad and working to the right. We love our Hermanas. That is it for now. We are doing great and loving Panama though I was a little jealous to see all of the flowers blooming on Temple Square. I love the Spring and I am in a place that is eternally Summer! |
