Greetings!
Is it just me or does it not seem possible that Christmas was 4 days ago? I can´t believe it...but Changuinola is still decorated with trees, window paintings and greenery...just like in the States. Its kind of funny....
anyways....today was our first work day on the church. of course we woke up to rain. We were told it wouldn´t be the rainy season, but then discovered that just because they tore out the rain forest to create Changuinola doesn´t mean its not the rain forest, so....its rainy!
Today´s work consisted on sanding and priming the railing...it doesn´t seem like a whole lot, but we finished the job along with some odd and ends...
Joel came to visit us at the worksite and confirmed our trip to Chiquita. we are super excited to be able to go there tomorrow. kerri and i are secretly hoping for a gift shop...we´ll see....
The weather is sticky, but not as hot, so we aren´t complaining by any means! we´ll take it! We went to visit the Kuna Indians today, unfortunately Fresca and Elvis were not there and will not be back until after we leave...but we were able to see LaPidia and Fresca´s daughter. and of course get sized for our bracelets...that is MOST important!
Cabot greatest excitement for today (along with Jeremy, myself, Kerri, and Marianne) were the purchase of the shoeshine boxes....yes, as a souvenir, we bought the shoeshine boys´ boxes!!!
We are anticipating the great New Year´s service with our Panama church family...what a party it will be...they warned us of how loud it could get....Our dear friend Silvia has also invited us over her house for an after party...we are so very excited!
We are praying that all is well with you in the States and please continue to pray for us here doing God´s work in Panama....God bless you all....
So why would Kerri not make a good fruit?
