Wow hey fam and friends,
This has been by far the craziest week of my mission hahaha…as far as changes go at least. Well last tuesday night we got a call randomly that i was going back to the city. Changes aren't till next monday but pres did changes early for san blas cus its earlier. I’m going to be honest i was soooo surprised and shocked i never thought i was guna leave. Shocked me to my core haha…well at first i started freaking out then i was just sad. hahaha. i was in san ignacio so bright and early i got to playon the next day and packed and waited for a boat to leave and they never ended up coming because they were too full because it was the end of vacations. so I had to wait a day in playon. I was saying bye to everyone and teaching my last lessons. It was a hard day for me honestly and that night i requested, from basically my mom on the islands, ibeth to make me the classic kuna dish that’s called dule masi. As i ate the plantain and coconut soup all of the other times i had eaten it flashed by in my mind….man soo many good times, challenging times, sickness, amazing times and crazy experiences. So in the morning i left by boat and as i passed by every island and pueblo i would just look at it and remember my times there…man im going to be honest i was balling. I love the kunas so much, they are the best, nicest, humblest, funny people in the world and the quote that just kept flashing in my head is “don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got until its gone” haha.
So i got to the city and was there for a day then got my changes. So pres put me with a missionary who is realllllyyyy struggling. He's from el salvador and is super special. pres told me i had a special role with him and that this was his last chance to shape up or he was going home. So we were opening up a huuuggeee area on the outskirts of panama called san migalito. Its super ghetto and a pretty hard area and it was super stressful honestly. So i was there for 3 days and i'm going to be be 100% honest...wow, they were the hardest three days of the mission. Elder serrano my comp is super off and has the worst attitude and flips out for no reason and i have had to be sooo patient. Well long story short i have learned soo much in these three days and have tried to help this kid soo much but he would just refuse to work. So on sunday he was begging to go back to the house to poop and i wanted him to try and hold it but he couldn't so we went all the way back to the house and he was in the bathroom for like 30 min. Then finally he comes out and sits on his bed and refuses to get up and he just says he's ready now and he cant do it anymore. So i tried talking him out of it for like 2 hours but i couldn't so i called pres and we left this morning to the mission offices in the city and that’s where i'm writing from.
So i'm going to be with the zone leaders for i don't know how long, maybe until changes. So ya that's pretty much it. Btw, the city is crazy and sooo different and i have been sick as a dog from the change of food haha. Its been so weird not sleeping in a hammock after like 6 months and its been so weird not seeing kunas. I saw my first kuna 2 days ago and i was soo happy i ran and caught up to her and just started speaking to her in dialect. She was old and soo funny and i just loved it. After i stopped talking with her i left, and im going be honest, i cried again super hard. I'm a mess. I will never forget these amazing kuna people. So there’s lots of weird stuff in my area but it might just be because im so used to the island life and im pretty shell shocked here…haha. I’m out of practice with speaking good Spanish…dear heavens I hope it all comes back. i forgot how fast they speak here in the city especially in the ghetto of san mig.
Ok, gotta go…love you all…bye!!!!
