Hey again friends and family! We are all safe and sound in Panama, but I thought I would let you know what went on from our end!  Here’s what happened: Yesterday an earthquake happened about 16 miles off the shore of Chile. Here’s a picture:  Panama was protected from any sizable waves by the northern part of South America and the little cove we are situated in.  Additionally, our house is approximately 10 km from the shoreline (we are situated between Las Lajas and San Felix, so we are farther inland than the screenshot below portrays). When the 9.0...

UPDATE: The tsunami warnings that were issued earlier for Panama have now been cancelled. The girls traveled to San Felix, the main city north of the little beach town Las Lajas, just to be safe. They will be staying the night at a mission house there…and watching Mrs. Doubtfire for entertainment. 😉 Thank you for all the prayers! Continue to lift them up as they minister to the people of Panama!   

We made it!!!  The Central America Expedition team is in Panama!!  We are in a rural [beach] town called Las Lajas.  Our bus only had ten people on it, so we each got our own row.  The border crossing was so easy it’s not even funny.  We had a good day y’al!    This month we’ll be working with a ministry for deaf children and with a Costa Rican missionary who teaches bible classes to local kids. More to come on that later!  We are safe and sound, dear parents!
