{MiraCLeS EveRY DaY}

Right on fam!

So yes i´m in the jungle. As for your questions:
1. My address is:


Misión Panamá Carrasquilla
A.P. 0834 Entrege General
Panamá, Panamá

2 and 3...don´t know right now but remind me next week

4. I have only a visa card...not the ATM. But they gave me an ATM card for taking out money when I got here (the mission gave me a card, it´s not the one we got) so i still don´t have the one that we got.

5. I´m headed to a dentist this week, possibly in Panama if there´s no one here or in David.

And i´m pretty sure it´s summer here...that is what i hear anyway. There´s not much rain (apparently gnarley downpours don´t count as a lot of rain). Our area is sweet though! Everyone is so nice...everyone calls each other hermano and hermana...all family. I love it! We´re teaching tons of lessons but having trouble with committments. Everyone wants to listen but it´s tough to help them see the importance of change. But it´s great here.

My companion is Elder Chicas...from El Salvador. He´s hard working, really is trying to learn english, and teaches me a ton every day. He´s been a convert for about three or four years now (he´s 26). His father committed suicide 5 years ago and his mom and brother are now in El Salvador. He´s a great comp. He´s an incredible teacher as well.

There are other missionaries nearby (six in our district) but for the next change they are bringing a zone to Empalme! That should be sweet!

It is definitely hard work hear. Lots of people try to tear down what you believe and a lot of people aren´t interested. But it´s always worth it.

I´ve had lots of incredible experiences here already. Miracles every day. We were lost a few days ago looking for a really promising investigator named Gregory...it was raining, we were late, so we prayed. Literally five seconds later, there he was standing outside in the rain waiting to hear the plan of salvation. It was amazing! And whenever I pray for the ability to testify of Joseph Smith, God gives me the gift of tongues. Every time!

Sorry I don´t have much time left..J-dub and marsh thanks for the emails...send me more :) i don´t have time to reply now but i will next week! Ps j dub that handlebar stash is gonna rock at the derby!

I can´t believe so many people are comin home from their missions already! Time really does fly it´s nuts! I´ve already been here two weeks...it´s so crazy! The spanish is coming very slowly. Still pretty frustrating at times but it´s all good...it will come.

We´re trying to find a family this week to teach...we´re praying hard and working hard. We´re gonna do it!

Thanks for everything I love you all a ton!

Con amor,
Elder Tanner
