Tomorrow marks our 90 days in Panama, which means the Panamanian government so kindly asks us to leave the borders of this great country or we will become illegal immigrants. So, we're taking a voyage to Costa Rica for the weekend, a country that must be outstandingly beautiful because it's called Rich Coast or Delicioius Coast or Beautiful Coast...however you want to translate it, it sounds wonderful! Rachel, Erica, and I will fly out in the morning and return on Monday, hopefully, with a new Panamanian visa that will last Rachel and I for the remaining time we are here! Please keep us in your prayers as we travel in unfamiliar territory. We are going to Monteverde, home of cloud forests, ziplining through the rainforest, an active volcano, and much more adventure for us! We cannot wait to go and see God's country to our north...your south!
Rachel and I are continuing our readings at the university, UDELAS. Rachel has two students and I have three, but the schedules are random, and it is chaotic. Please pray that our readers will be able to more dedicated to the program. We also have time slots that have not filled, so please pray that we will be able to fill them with individuals that we have already read with and who are wanting to read more, and who's hearts have already been prepared to receive the Gospel. One of Rachel's new students is a Hindu lady who is very excited to learn about Christianity and who was very happy to receive a Bible today from Rachel--while this lady believes that all religion is right, please pray that as she begins to eagerly study the Gospels with her nine year old son, that her heart will be opened to the Truth that lies within the Scripture. Please pray this for our old and new readers. One of my new readers, Tania, told me that she wants to learn how to pray and how to have a better faith, so please pray that she will also begin reading the Word at her home, in addition to our reading times together. Please also keep Isabel in your prayers, who, even though our reading/English lessons have ended, she continues to come to Bible study and seek a relationship with us and others from the church. Please, please pray for her. I want to see her in Heaven.
We were blessed to have my dad with us last week, so this week has been getting back to the old routine and looking ahead to the next two months. Please keep the work in Panama in your prayers as we explore more ministry options for after our time at UDELAS.
Thanks for all your prayers and support. We love getting messages from home, so if you have time, we'd love to hear how God is working in YOUR life because I know He is.
