Update from Terry Hoffman

It has been a week since we stepped off the plane into the 90 degree weather, with 90% humidity. I haven't written because I was unsure what to write. This trip is different from the last in several ways. This is my 3rd trip this year to Panama and it feels almost like home. The weather is pretty much the same except for the torrential downpours that occur everyday. It rains more in 1 day than we get all year. Taylor & I had the wonderful opportunity to stay with the parents of one of our readers from last January. We became fast friends and spent many late nights sitting on the couch talking and enjoying our short time together. They plan to visit us in the US in February. My favorite activity is watching Jaclyn & Sarah experience the amazing work that God performs. They both connect so well with the students here. I see the joy in their faces everyday and thank God they were given this chance to make a difference in the children's lives. I pray that they will always remember their experiences and use their talents to the fullest potential. This will be a tough week for me as Taylor had to return to work. She is a wonderful wife, and a huge asset when we get into "Spanish Trouble". We look forward to returning to Panama in the near future.
