Thanks so much for the pictures ha now it seems like christmas.  Not much lights here in panama a few members have christmas trees but not to many.  mom did you get my pakage from the ericsons..   This was a interesting week still teaching lots of lessons and i did teach the first lesson by my self in spanish so yay im progressing a little bit.  We have alot of investigators but our area is so big we only visit them 1 every week which is difficult for them to progress i think especially when the capilla is about 20 - 30 minutes away but more hermanas in feb will come to our area i hope this saturday we have 3 baptisms but not sure how a feel about it they are supposed to have 3 assistencias in sacramental but ony 1 time but the bishop says its fine so i guess its alright im really excited about it.  On sunday the family barrios the dad samuel and mom mariella came to church they are golden im so excited i did put a date with the mom to be baptized but she said she wanted to learn a little more and eventually she will but this week we are going to teach both of them and put another date for both of them by the end of this month they are amazing and very strong.  We had 4 attend church yesterday so thats good and i hope it will continue to get better still not sure if i have changes i find out tomorrow night. hopefully not but we will have to see.  Today we went to the frantera which is the boarder of costa rica and panama it was kinda a waist of time i didnt buy anything just subway but everything is good and im excited to call on christmas i will e mail next week more plans but really i dont know but tell me a time that is best to call.  love you and miss you tonz i sent a bunch of letters out so let me know when you get them.  Make it a better week love ya and miss you tonz. le quiero mucho hermana ericson
