Today we’re flying out! Flight at 8, and we’ll get in at noon (2 EST). From the airport we’ll grab a quick lunch then head straight to Chepo. In Chepo we’ll play with kids in the village and visit with the older Panamanians as well. We have candy and coloring books, as well as balls and games. We’ll be available to help out with anything in the village, but today our main focus will be working with the kids. Chepo is a very poor area, but the villagers have an incredible heart for God. We’ll be able to give rice and flour to all 20 of the families, which will help them out immensely. We’ll sleep on the air mattresses in the church at night. Luckily we’ll be tired, because it’ll probably be hot in the building with all the fans off (Chepo turns their generator off at night, so no power while we’re sleeping!).
Pray for energy, safety, and fun, as well as a spirit of service and eyes opened to see the hearts of those that are less fortunate materially than we are.
