Missionary update from Panama

Travis is in Panama this week.  We haven't heard from him since he left a message saying he arrived in Panama City and was loading up in the van.  He had a five hour road trip ahead of him before arriving San Feliz.  Finally, this email showed up today.  

I am soooo bummed that I can´t call you or contact you as much as I would like.  We are definately in a third world country here.  I borrowed a guy´s laptop here (the son of the woman who cooks for us) so I could e-mail you.  It´s hard to type.  The keyboard layout is different and I keep hitting the wrong keys.  

Most of the people here haven´t gotten an opportunity to speak to their families because there just isn´t internet or telephone service unless you want to activate your cell service from the U.S. and pay major $$$.  One guy here had to pay $300.00 last time.  Ehhhhh!

We´re having a great time and getting a lot of work done.  I´m taking a lot of pictures so you can see what we are doing.  We did go to the ocean and swim for a few minutes at the end of the day yesterday and swam in a river the day prior to that.  It´s hot here and we just sweat all day long.  

I´d like to tell you more, but there are a several others here who want to send a quick note to their families.

I love you all so much and miss you tons!
