Skip Canada go to Panama: Dirty Rio Mar

Most of where we live in puerto is pretty safe and pretty clean too. There is one barrio (neighbourhood) here though that is so bad. It's gross and dirty and smells funny. The drug addicts and drunks all hide out there and the people are a little scary. There would be no reason for anyone to go there... except for service! The other day we walked through looking for English and can you believe it we came out of there with 3 studies! Here are some pics of the area.

This kid was helping us find people who spoke English, he found us one study!

Here is the lady he found, this is the only pic I have of her so far but we will definitely be back. She is a little bit crazy but more then willing to chat with us about the bible. Her family is from the Caribbean so her English sounds Jamaican almost it's so awesome! She invited us in through her house out to her back porch where we all sat down and talked. She did most of the talking which was ok because she had some very interesting ideas about things. She had her kids study with witnesses when they were little. She wouldn't let them play until they learned something new about God everyday. Would be very interesting to meet her kids... She has a good knowledge of the bible but I think she has been on her own too long cause she starting to believe that there's actually a second bible and only one in the whole world and we need to find it. Maybe she's bored of the first one? I'm not sure haha however she did say for the past 13 years I have had a question and I just can't figure it out! Why didn't Jehovah get rid of satan, and Adam and Eve right away and start fresh? What was the point of keeping them?? Haha thank goodness for pg 109 of the bible teach book! Haha we had been there for a while so we decided that we would come back the next week to show her. We are excited to go back!

this is where it starts to get ugly

Happiest little baby girl even in amongst all this garbage!! She just kept waving and smiling a us I wanted to take her home!We saw her and her mom later walking around the streets still just in her diaper and bare feet!
