Alrighty... so R&R has ended but it was amazing! We headed out to an extinct volcano and took over an absolutely beautiful hotel which was awesome. Saturday morning we literally climbed a mountain. The tour guide named Mario that took us actually worked on the Survivor Panama crew so apparently he´s pretty famous. But the view was amazing once we finally got there.

Sunday night our team transported back to an area of Panama city and showed our first round of Jesus film showing. I got to share my testimony sunday night at the showing and it was really cool to be a part of that. The kids were adorable and we taught them "duck, duck, goose" although in spanish goose doesn´t translate so it was duck, duck, chicken, "pato, pato, pollo." We´re all being billeted out to families in the area and Laura, one of the Panamanian students and I are staying with an older gentleman named Luis and his mother. They´re a riot and because I don´t speak a tonne of Spanish we´re having fun figuring things out, oh, and the shower has one temperature, cold... but at least it wakes me up in the morning.

There were some problems with the scheduling for our team and we actually don´t have more showings of the film until Thursday night. So yesterday we struggled with feelings of uselessness, but God is good and we´re going to a school to show the Jesus film to students and then to a prayer meeting at night. I am so looking forward to the showings of the film this weekend. Whats really cool is that we have 12 Panamanian students joining us throughout the week. A lot of them our people we saw come to Christ on the campus cycle and they´re now taking the step of faith and coming to share their testimonies and their faith at the shows. So keep praying for us as we push forward until the end. Gods answering prayers though, as Mark (one of our team members) was really sick but now he´s rejoined us, and I was actually able to get some sleep last night, which was such a blessing!

I love you all as always and will see you all so soon!
