So I'm back in Panama. My little adventure to the USA went way too fast. I loved every minute I got to spend with the Crew. You are all a huge blessing and I wish I could've taken you with me. But I don't think you'd want to go to the jungle, and it would be kinda tight in my hut.
I met the newest group of trainees/ future Peace Corps volunteers a few days ago when I was helping to train them. Four of them are strong Christians and were involved with HCJB and eMi, the ministries where I did internships. So that was pretty cool to find out. I hope that I can connect with them more, but I'm afraid they're going to get assigned to somewhere on the other side of the country and I'll never get a chance to talk to them again. But we'll see. Please pray that I will be able to connect with believers here in Panama, since I've had little success with that so far.
My one year medical checkup was today. I had my first cavity ever, which was disappointing. Before I knew it the dentist was drilling away, telling me to raise my hand if it hurt too much. Who needs an anesthetic anyway...
I heard about Heather's accident. That is so terrible. I will be praying for her recovery and peace of mind through this trial.
So friends, even though we're far away again and it seems that some are getting ready to depart for new adventures, let's keep in contact as much as possible. I want to be as much of an encouragement to you that you have been to me.
