Familia this week was great lots of work but its great so on friday night at midnight we took the bus to panama and had a spiritual reunion at the temple.  elder christofferson and a couple people from the 70s came and spoke it was an amazing elder maynes and his wife spoke they all talked about mission work, elder maynes told a story about a companion that was always shy and very nervous when he taught it was funny also because all the missionaries in my zone know how i am when i teach and its not easy but i try to relax and take a deep breath so hopefully i can overcome that but  whole time i could feel the spirit it was all in spanish but i could understand everything i know if i have the faith and desire to press forward i can do all thing,  elder christofferson shook every missionaries hand and of course when he shook my hand him and his wife said i was a little sun burnt and red ha ha but really I'm not sun burnt i think i was just nervous i dint know.  elder christofferson just answered questions from the missionaries that asked questions not really a talk but it was very spiritual when he shared his testimony.  We had to wait 5 hours before we took the bus back to David so we had lunch and hung out at the mall with all the missionaries we waited in line to buy our tickets for 2 hours then tried to sleep in the bus since its a 7 hour but ride i didn't sleep at all maybe 20 min so i was exhausted then we got home around 2 in the morning and got up early and went to church i pretty much slept through half of church.  For p day today i think we are going to the frontera the boarder of costa rica.  I will be having changed 20th of feb. so im kinda sad to leave the area but im excited to get to know other areas.  We had interviews with the president and looks like i will be home before this christmas my release date is dec. 5th.  still looking for more families to teach and im hoping we have atleast one baptism this week and in feb 3 baptisms the process is very slow because for some reason they have a hard time coming to church but they do there reading and can answer all of our questions.  I hope things get better at home i miss you all and love you lots thanks for all the support have a better week and smile let me know when aaron leaves for spain i read one letter but keep sending me e mails from him thanks and i hope to here from you next week le quiero hna ericson
