Life is Slowing Down

So between the hat, lathered sunscreen and the little floaty umbrella Ari was sunburn free after our three week stay at the beach. Yay! (I know, I know, overprotective...)

Well, I am starting to feel a sense of monotony here in Panama now. Life is finally starting to slow down and have a steady rythum. Which means a little less to write about (many of you are probably happy to see the end of three or four long posts each month).

This month Isaac finished working on our bedroom. He installed some cieling tiles (styrofoam squares hung from the tin roof) which really blocks out the heat and the pounding sound of the rain. It was unbareable hot in the bedroom with just the tin roof. We have been sleeping in the living room for the last six months because it already had the styrofoam tiles. It´s so nice now though, that I don´t have to crawl out of the livingroom in my unmentionables everytime the Jehova´s Witnesses come to the door, they always come so early! Now we can´t even hear them from the bedroom, haha.

Here, no body knocks on the door. They stand at the edge of your property and yell "buenas" until you come to the door. It´s an interesting custom. Maybe it´s because almost everybody owns dogs. The property lines aren´t that far from the front door though, and my big living room windows give everybody a clear shot of our livingroom. I just hope the neighbors haven´t seen more of us than we would have liked. Yikes.

Two weeks ago Isaac was called in for a stake interview. The 2nd counselor asked if he would be willing to accept any calling. He said yes. "Would your wife support you in any calling?" Yes.

Then the interviewer told Isaac to make sure he was on time to stake conference the following Sunday so that he would know what his calling would be when they sustained him. What?! He was a little nervous at first they would call him as a bishop, our bishop only has a few more months to go. But they called him as a High Councelman for the stake. He´s okay with that. The upside - no more Elder´s Quorom President callings (unless they send us to a spanish branch again when we get back to the states, I think in that case they could call him as EQP again). We´ll cross our fingers (not to go to another branch, lol).
