BUENOS DIOS....

12.28.2010

Good Morning! It is a sunny, cool morning in San Jose today. We arrived yesterday afternoon to very cool and rainy weather so the sunny is definitely a refresh!

Flights went well (lost some luggage, but received them this morning!) and Eliezel with our trusty bus driver met us at the airport. After lunch (PIZZA!), we spent the day relaxing, napping, and walking around the seminary.

We received some bad news when we arrived....our wonderful missionary Eliezel will not be traveling to Panama with us this time. There was another team that arrived here last night who needs his assistance more than us...we were extremely sad (a bit upset!), but what a compliment to know that he trusts us enough to allow us to go ahead without him. A lady from the church arrived last evening to travel with us.

We will be eating breakfast this morning and then heading that way....a 7-8 hour bus ride!!

Please continue to pray for us as we travel and the work that is ahead of us in Changuinola. We are so very excited to reunite with our Panama friends!!!

Here are the names of the people on the trip....maybe you can pray for us by name?
