Bocas del Toro


We are just spending our last night in Bocas del toro. We have been here for 4 days and have had an amazing time. It started off as a bit of a terrible adventure when we got stuck on a bus across the country for 14 hours ( our bus broke down in the middle of the night). We arrived in a little town called almirante where we took a boat to the main island colon of bocas del toro archipleago. It is a cool little town with a surfer feel to it. We ran into some witnesses who were out in service on our first day here and made plans to meet up with them the next day at the kingdom hall for service. That same day we attempted to get to drago beach on the other side of the island. When we finally got there we were so hungry that we ended up taking a boat to a restaurant on the water and we spent so much time there that we didn´t have time or any sun left to go back to the beach haha. We did get to see a dolphin swimming in the water though while we were eating!! The next day it poured as in torrential down pour but we still went out in service with 3 sweet girls from wisconsin kaeli, akela, and callie ( tongue twister). We were also invited to sleep at 2 girls house Jamie and Rebecca from Ohio which has been a lot of fun. We went to the english meeting last night which consisted of 13 of us ( with a little 5 year old on mic´s) and 2 brothers for all the parts. We all had a huge part in the meeting with all of the questions and answers. Today we took a boat to bastimentos an island nearby and we went in service there. It was very hot and very muddy and Jessica and i were quite covered in mud by the end of it all but i was able to start 3 bible studies with jamaicans that spoke english but read in spanish which i handed over to a couple of the girls here. We love Panama it will be hard to say goodbye to it tomorrow....
