Buenas tardes
Good afternoon

Today is my one week anniversary
I have been in Panama for one week
In that time I have learned to get around, found a place to get a haircut, gone to a funeral and met many wonderful people who are brothers and sisters in Christ.
Tomorrow I travel to Bocas del Toro by car to cover 12 hours of Panamanian ground by car where I can see the people and the land.
It is a land of contrasts, beautiful sky, sea and plants, friendly people with a history of conflict and triumph......and poverty and need.
However, if you take a trip through any one of our hearts and mind the same condition exists, beauty tragedy and strife, it is the human condition.
We are called to love one another as he loved us.
So may the grace and peace of God be with you now and always.
hasta la vista
