Pioneer School

I know this is late, but we've been really busy (I know I say that every time). I'm gonna try to catch up starting with June. We went to Pioneer School during the first two weeks. Here's a summery I'll post a few more pictures later. 


Pioneer School was amazing. Even better than I expected. We had 29 in our class- 11 sisters and 18 brothers. It was really nice since it was a school filled with need greater. Everyone in our class had come from somewhere else to help where there was a need, in this case either Panama or Costa Rica. Except for a couple who also were helping where the need was greater by serving in the foreign language field of English. The class took place in David (about 30 minutes down the hill). We thought it was going to be Panama City, but when they decided to double us up with Costa Rica David was a more central location. Which worked out well for us- we got to stay at home and study in the cool air of Boquete. The only disadvantage of having it in David is the heat. We were dying. There's only one hall in Panama (that I know of) that has air conditioning. And we were not in that hall. So that was a bit difficult. But during the class when we were sitting around concentrating we didn't feel as hot.
Our teacher were great they were both funny and kept the class lively. We sat in a U shaped formation with tables so we could all see each other and still not have to have our books in our lap. I will try to get together some pictures of the class to show you all.
