Greetings!
It has been 9 weeks since my arrival in Panama. I have been very busy adjusting to life and work here in Panama. Everyone has been very helpful. My spanish is getting a little better. I will begin school in January. I have been able to visit Bocas del Toro, and Teca. It is the rainy season which has prevented me from traveling to Nueva Arenosa or Colon and Torti. There has been a great deal of interest in the medical work in all of the churches I have visited. Teca clinic has graduated to self sustained status; we welcome Dr Angula and Dr. Zarate two wonderful Panamanian physicians who will visit Teca monthly. There is a doctor who set up a program such as this in El Salvador, he is interested in working with us. I am in prayer about how we can make this happen.
Thank you for your generous support of this mission, without you I could not be here doing this work. Have a wonderfully blessed day~jo ellen
