How exciting! Except I'm pretty sure I'm going to be "delusional" by the time I reach Panama. Which wont help the fact that I'll be gasping for breath as I enter Panama City as they are expecting sunny skies and beautiful 90 degree weather. (note: 60% precipitation) Not to worry though, I'm incredibly optimistic. Thanks to the advise of some very supportive family members and friends...I've turned my nerves into excitement! Or at least I'm trying to. Obviously I'll be missing family and friends but its really the unknown that sets off my mixed emotions. This is the opportunity of a lifetime and I cant wait to embark on this adventure! I just cant help feeling scared. I tend to be a person who fears the unknown, who loves to be "in the know" so this is a bit of a test. Yesterday I told a friend that I'm most afraid of being alone and not making any friends. They laughed at me...apparently that's "impossible" Lets hope they're right! Anyways I'm posting to update everyone that I know a little bit more of my whereabouts today. This morning I got an email from National saying that I will be lucky enough to spend my first night at the Temple. However, on Friday I will be relocated to the "Association of West Panama." I'm not quite sure where that is, some friends have served in David, near the border of Panama and Costa Rica, a friend mentioned it wasn't too far from Panama City, so we shall see! I guess look out for my next post! Oh shoot! Gotta run! Flights boarding! I'll write to you all soon! Adios!

Yeeeeehawwww (neenaw neenaw neenaw) Welcome to Houston where George Bush has managed to get this airport named after him...Good one guy! And has found a way to milk the average American of every last dime they have. Looks like I only have 45 min of "complimentary" internet before I have to pay Mr. Bush here a whopping $10 bucks and hr. No thanks bud. Anyways, never been to Houston before so this is kinda cool, except that its 4AM Seattle time and completely dark out.

Welcome to Miami, Bienvenido a Miami!

I'm in MIAMIIIII chickkkk! (Sigh) Since when did Miami become the tropics? It seriously looks like the Caribbean, or atleast thats what I would imagine the Caribbean to look like. Its beautiful! The sand is white and the water crystal clear! No wonder everyone here is sun-kissed. Anyways this is my last stop before Panama so I guess I will see you all on the flip side! Adios!!!
