Back in September Colin and I got to help out on a Kingdom Hall build for a couple of days in changuinola on the Caribbean side of panama. It was a little town outside of changuinola called Las Tablas. We were asked to come help with their version of dry wall.
We got to work with brothers and sisters from all over panama both foreigners and locals. It was so fun trying out another type of service together :)
This was the bodega, or the stores for all the tools, kept in the back of a big truck. there are two groups that tour around panama to different hall builds.
Colin's first day consisted of pulling stumps using a shovel and a pick, he wasnt posing here at all haha.
We weren't sweating, we were glowing with happiness is all :)
Hard work in the hot sun!
The sisters in the kitchen making fried chicken
More stump pulling!
Working with my new friend Mai, serving here in changuinola Spanish all the way from Denmark!
Really nice couple from Newfoundland serving in the mountains, volcan, English

Finally no more stump pulling!
Colin attempting at engineering, he had to keep the outlets from moving, attaching them to the beams some how before putting the sheet rock on.
This is joe hiding from the paparazzi:) he is the one who organized for all us foreigners to come help, he has been helping with Mexico and Central America hall builds for a long time now.
So hot for us Canadians!!
This was the town we had to go through to get to the hall build called almirhantes. No garbage pick up so this is what it looks like everywhere! So sad!! Lots more diseases on this side of panama.
Why did the bananas cross the road?? Haha
This is how Chiquita banana transports the bananas. Using a horse and pully system
