Panama Mission Effort - Day 4 - June 5

We are up early again for our second day of work in Volcan... Since Doyne drove the van to our cabin last night, we kept it overnight and drove ourselves to Lyn & Joy's this morning. We were there for Breakfast by 6:30, and Nick brought our morning devotional thought on the porch; he did an excellent job, as usual!

7:30 - we walked to the school to begin day 2 of our 3-day school program. The teams began their day in much the same manner as day 1, rotating through the classrooms and giving our lessons to the 6 classes...

The farm team continues to clean out ditches and build fences... rain held off til after noon today.
We had home made Tamales for lunch; Joy's dear friend and neighbor Donnie made them, and they were authentic and delicious! Corn meal, meat, olives, all wrapped in a banana leaf and cooked...

After lunch we split into 3 teams and canvassed the neighborhood to invite people to our evening Bible study. Very successful, as 50 or so showed up!

Many showed up early (as it began to rain), so we fed them... I won't say that it was a feeding of the 5000 or anything, but we had plenty of grilled hamburgers for all! ...then the 24 children went inside and had their own Bible lesson while the adults had a very spirited Bible study about John 4 and the woman at the well! Hezekias had some very good comments...

Afterwards we said our goodbyes and the men took the van back to the cabin as the ladies prepared for bed. Another God-Blessed Day!
