Panama 2010 Day 1

WE MADE IT!!!!

       *Whew*! After being awake for 20 hours, hopping on two flights and traveling half-way across the world, WE ARE HERE! And we are all alive and very well!
        Traveling today was amazing. We didn't hit very many road bumps (circling Houston airport for 20 mins due to a thunder storm and waiting through run-way traffic leaving Houston), and we all stayed together the entire time. During the take-off from our flights, we all raised our hands in the air (think like riding roller coaster) and cheered as soon as the plane left the ground!
         As for the rest of the trip, Jarrett and Aaron (one of the Sonrise guys) met us at the Panama Airport, took care of our luggage and had rides all set to go for us to take us to take us Casa Paraiso, where we are spending the next three days. You may have seen the video of this place, it's here on the website on the right. BUT. They have done HUGE huge remodels on this place. We came expecting a run down, ricketing building, unsure of showers and water and beds. And I'm sitting here at the kicthen, with couches, fresh wood floors, stable bunk beds, and clean showers, ready to go for us!
         God is already doing so much in our group. Through the laughter, fun, and adventures we had today... I know God is here with us.

         Tomorrow we head out to serve at a local school, working with the kids there, and then we spend our afternoon with different kids in a local orphanage. We will definitely have more stories to share tomorrow evening!

        Here are some pictures from our travels today. Love and hugs to you all back home! :o)

              In His Love,

               Heather
