WE GOT THIS!
We recently set a goal as a mission to have 10 new investigators per companionship a week or 600 new investigators per week as a mission. We wanted to average this over 4 weeks and if we met the goal, the whole mission would get to watch the movie, "Freetown." What we didn't realize when we set the goal was that the last week of the 4 was a big holiday here in Panama called Fiestas Patrias, and is a more difficult week to find investigators. We needed 612 new investigators and we got 687!!! We totally exceeded the goal and got to see the movie, complete with nachos, popcorn, soda and candy. We were so happy that we did so well on the goal and grateful for such hard-working missionaries. Great job guys!

I popped 60 bags of popcorn!

The jalapenos were so popular that we used up an entire giant jar of them.

The Assistants sent from some photos from a recent preparation day activity.

CHANGE OF PLANS
We found out yesterday that Elder Nielson had to cancel his trip to Central America, so there will be no mission tour this month. Instead we will have zone conferences as follows (note: we originally scheduled a zone conference on Dec. 8, but that is Mother's Day in Panama and a national holiday, so it has been changed to the 9th):

MISSION LEADERSHIP COUNCIL

We dropped by to say hi to some of the Elders in San Blas and give them some treats. They had the most lessons with less active members last week at 54. Great job Elders!
