Mom's hut
After a safe arrival in Panama, we got to spend a week in Mom’s village visiting family before beginning our Discipleship Training School. The week went by very fast, and we found the family doing well. We even got to meet the newest member of the family, Marinelis, who is Marinelia’s daughter. Mom was very happy to see us and she made Marisol her very own mola to wear!
When we visited, we discovered that it’s the time of year for the big Tilapia harvest, and we both got to try our hand at catching some. We did it the way the Kunas usually do: in a dugout canoe using huge nets. It was all we could do not to tip the canoe and we managed to catch five fish! (all this during a thunderstorm too!!) We had a great time!!

Our hope is to travel to Pintupo to visit the family often during our downtimes at the DTS school, and we would very much like to bring some more medicines and supplies next time as well as some books for the school children. Presently we have just completed our first week of the Discipleship Training School, and it was an intense yet very fulfilling time with God. Please check back with us often as we will be posting more information on that first week in the coming days. (Our digital camera has stopped working so we need to purchase another finish the post!!) Once again, we would like to thank everyone for their prayers and support. Together we are impacting an entire generation for Christ!! Please take a moment to enjoy these pictures of our week in Pintupo!!!!
