Update from Panama

Team #1 reporting from PANAMA!



Well church family, we have made it safely to the hot and humid Panama! Although we had a couple delays in our flights, we finally arrived at 9:00pm. Terry, Taylor & I were welcomed at the airport by our wonderful chauffer, Elio (who waited 2 hours for us to arrive). We had a warm welcome from Delores and her daughter, Deborah. Delores is so sweet you just want to squeeze her every time you see her. Jaclyn and I have the wonderful privilege of being Delores’ company for 2 weeks in her home.





Terry & Taylor have a very hospitable host, also. The Hoffman’s are so happy to be staying with a family they met at the last LST visit. During a late night snack at a McDonald’s restaurant, Terry & Taylor’s hosts showed interest in why we were here and what we are about. It is so exciting to see God working with us and through us, and we haven’t even begun the LST program yet. This family is already planning to attend church with us next Sunday. : ) Our first evening in Panama was blessed.




Sunday morning, we had our first experience at church, which takes place in a high school classroom here in town. We had the honor of meeting new Iglesia de Cristo families, and reuniting with the old. Following worship service, we went to pick up our last team member, Jaclyn, who made it safe and sound. Finally, the team is all together! Definitely taking advantage of the little free time we have, Deborah took us to do some sight seeing, and shopping while Delores cat napped in the passenger seat. Awww! Finally, our grocery shopping is done for the week, and we are ready for some rest. Pray that God gives us wisdom & patience as we begin LST tomorrow. Goodnight!




With Christian Love,

Sarah
