just a peek in pictures....

I had some unexpected internet time so I'd figured I'd boot up some pics so you can see what we were up to the last month on campus and in the jungle....

"Can a scientist believe in God?"- Science and religion outreach on the UTP campus, the room was packed out!

The Panamanian girls that I've had the joy and blessing of working with this year on the national university campus at our campus cycle wrap party.
(Marta, Yavi, Me, Ethel, Kiki, Karla and Yari)

Tired and about to get rained on at the top of "India Dormida" mountain in El Valle. The entire Canadian student and staff team were here for 3 days of rest and refocusing time before we headed into the interior for our adventure cycle.
The view from Barreta. One of two villages we worked at during our Adventure Cycle. I had never been that far up and isolated in the mountains as we were on this trip. Steve and I facilitated the trip with the student/stinter teams getting the blessing of working with the families in the days and showing the Jesus film in the evening.

The student team after a long (and wet) day of work at the church in Calebazo, the 2nd of the villages we worked in.
The entire Project team at debrief. It was a fantastic team and we had an absolute and crazy blast. I truly believe that Panama will never be the same because these students dedicated 6 weeks of their summer to come help change the world!

back to the land of starbucks and english....

We've made it back to the motherland... well closer for me as we're in Toronto gearing up for our debrief. Its absolutely nuts to be surrounded by English speakers but fantastic not to stick out like a sore thumb. I realize more and more how simply blessed we are here. To have cars to drive in, carpet on the floors and silence in our house instead of the blaring traffic I'd grown so accustomed too. I could go on and on with the list, from transit to Timmies it's been great to be home. And yet at the same time there's a weird feeling of not knowing where my roots are. Someone asked me yesterday where I lived and I automatically replied Panama. And yet I'm not sure whether thats any more home that my house in High River where I grew up. And so, I feel like I'm in a state of transition and yet not 100% sure what the transition is too. Yes another year in Panama but I think one that will look completely different with a new team and a year already under my belt. But we'll see and I know more than anything that God knows. And so not a lot of words today. I think my brain's on overload but I am loving being back in Canada and looking forward to making it "home" to my family in the next weeks and enjoying this time of transition, however crazy it may be.

(Hopefully my June update reached everyone with more info about what happened in this last month. If you didn't receive it and would have liked too, fire me off an email at lindsey.davies@c4c.ca and we'll get you hooked up! Thanks so much for all your continued prayers and support, it means the world to me!! :) )
