Pensamientos

The first three days have been all I expected and more. We’ve been graciously welcomed in Panama by many new and old friends including Rosa, Marcos, Nati, and our awesome driver Chalino (and many more). The first two days of traveling were tiring, but we made it through (with the help of much of the delicious local coffee!). The first night we stayed in a classroom, and now we are staying in Hotel Cervantes, a very nice hotel in David. We eat all our meals at the local Methodist church across the street, where we have made many friends. Just by practicing spanish during meals with our new friends, I have learned far more than in a whole semester at college. This morning we attended church in Bongo with the other mission group from Nebraska. The congregation was very welcoming and Marcos even translated the sermon into english for us! Later we set up the clinic, which was a relatively quick and organized team effort. Every thing is ready to go for tomorrow morning! We leave for clinic at 7:30 am. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow will bring. God has definitely blessed us with a great experience so far.
Buenas Noches,
