Panama Mission Effort - Day 5 - June 6

We are up at early again today... about 5:30 am... at Joy & Lyn's for breakfast by 6:30. Fruit and Scrambled eggs and oatmeal.

David Brightwell did a great job bringing us our morning devotional thought. We are walking to school by 7:30. This is our last day to be in the school, so our feelings are mixed; we will miss these little guys!

We are told to abbreviate our schedule so they can make a very special presentation to us before we leave.

Incidentally, we are providing snacks and or a meal each day we are there... many of these children walk several miles to and from school, and get nothing to eat.

All goes well, then it is time to go to the gym for the presentation. It is the most moving presentation I have ever seen... each class sang a special song or recited a poem... then they asked each team to come to the front for a special gift. Each of us got a small keychain... very meaningful gift!

After many tears, we walked back to Joy & Lyn's house... we are pretty quiet on the walk back... and very full!

We had lunch (spaghetti) then some walked to town while others took a well-deserved siesta...

We have planned to travel to David to worship with the church there at their midweek assembly. Bus leaves at 4:30 pm sharp! We stopped at a roadside restaurant about 10 miles down the mountain, and it was terrific! We had blackberry milkshakes and derritidos... delicious!

We were a few minutes late, and it was raining hard... so only about 8 members from David were there. But we had a wonderful time with the brethren there!

Then we boarded the bus to return for Lyn and Joy's...

Back at Volcan by 9:30... in the bed by 10 pm... another wonderful day!
