Pioneer School Pics

Alright so that last post had absolutely no pictures...sorry about that I like pictures too. But I'll try not to have any more without now.
I've told you guys time and time again that I'd put more picture of pioneer school on. So here they are. I know they are about 6 months late but I can't go back now.
 I have pictured Pioneer School since I was very little. And through what my mom and grandma have told me I have gotten pretty excited about it. But it was nothing like I expected, it was better! Way Better! It was hands down the best two weeks of my life. its hard to explain why, other then without realizing it you are on a major spiritual high not only during but afterwards as well. I could tell the first meeting afterwards how much that school had affected me spiritually and mentally. Each night we came home and studied for hours and hours, but how much we learned made it all worth it. That in itself showed me the true importance of personal study. And I can tell now if I slack on my personal study my whole life starts going down hill. So it has motivated me to make a daily schedule. But enough of my talking. Let me allow my pictures speak for me.
This is how we sat. In a U formation. But this is only half of it.
I'm over there in  the green on the right side and my  dad is over on the
very end next to the brother in the blue.


This is one of our teachers. They were very lively which made the
class really fun and they taught in a variety of ways like here he was
demonstrating a point. We had lots of little skits.

Here is our other teacher, who is also our CO. They used the white board a lot.
And I have a feeling a lot of those things on the board don't make much
 sense to you guys. Lets just say he really likes to use acronyms. 

Each day a different congregation fed us (actually being that there aren't many English
congregations most got to feed us twice). But here is the Boquete Group serving lunch.
It was delicious. The two sisters on the far right of the photo are our teacher's wives. 

This is one of the days of service. Many from the local congregation came. 

And here are the two sister's I worked with. They are both serving in Costa Rica.
I really enjoyed them. And we had really good experiences.
Actually I think almost everyone in the school had at least one good experience.

This is one of the couples in the school. They are missionaries in Changinola
(where we originally visited for 3 months). It was a real privilege to have them
 in our class. They gave amazing comments and were really fun. 
This is one of the families in the class. All 7 of them got to be in the school together.
The youngest was only 12. It was really nice having all of them in the class.
How often do you get to go to pioneer school with so many kids?

I wish I could tell you more but there's way too much to tell. Many have asked me what my favorite part was. And there was too many great things. But one real privileged was to be able to be in a class full of need greaters. Going through similar situations we are.
I know that all of you who have been to the pioneer school know about how great of privilege it is, and for those of you who haven't, make it your goal. It is the most amazing experience.
