Merry Christmas

Dear Family and Friends,
Just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas from Panama. We have been very busy this month. Last month we traveled to Bisira by land and water to go to a H.S. graduation of one of my former English students who will be baptized in January. Bisiria is a community of Nove Indians who live on this river and the only way to get there is to take a boat. And that was quite an experience which I will tell you about next time. We are busy today getting ready for Christmas dinner and expect to have 20+ people here for that. Last Sunday I was released from the branch presidency, which is really good because I was replaced with a really good man. He is a member of just over a year. We taught his family the temple lessons and went to the temple with them in August. He will do a great job. We have seem the work of Heavenly Fathers hand in this little branch here in Santiago. We have seen many positive changes here. Wednesday we drove to Chorrera with our 4 sisters in the back seat of our little car to attend a mission Christmas Party. It is fun to see all of the missionaries get together they have such a great time. Our mission has been a great blessing in our lives. We have made many more eternal friends. We thank all of you for your prayers and support. May you all have a joyous Christmas as we remember and celebrate the birth of our Savior. It is a priviliage to be his representative here in Panama. With Love, Elder and Sister Robison
