Here I am in Arrijan, Panama…things are going very well. Once again, the people are amazing, our team is doing great, and God is working in awesome ways. We are working alongside a wonderful Pastor and his wife (Pedro and Maria)….and all six of us are living with his parents during our time here. Since we have been here, we have been able to do a variety of things. We were able to help with preparations for the high school retreat, attend and help out with the retreat (and I even got to play Britney Spears in a skit! haha), and now help in the Bilinual School that is partnered with the church. We have also had the opportunity to serve at a feeding center in town that feeds the starving people in the area. This week we are in the school most of this week, helping with English and assisting the teachers in any way we can. I am absolutely loving the classroom and being around high school students. The retreat was amazing and gave us the opportunity to get to know a lot of the students we will be spending time with at the school.
God has really been guiding us and taking us where He wants us. Our days have been busy, but good. He is reminding us the importance of putting Him first and focusing on Him…especially during the busy days. He is showing us His faithfulness, in the big and small things. And as we are on the last leg of our journey….I am so thankful for what this year has held, so thankful for what is in store, and so wanting more. I´m not ready to check out and be done, because I believe there is more. Please pray that we push forward and constantly desire more growth, more stretching, and more of Him. More of Him, Less of ourselves….that has been our teams prayer all year, and may it continue´to be our prayer for the rest of our lives.
