The days pass so quickly...

As I empty out my apartment here, I am remembering different things that have happened in the past three and a half years of being in Panama. First of all it's amazing how many things you can accumulate in only three and a half years! I don't know what I was thinking... but I treasure each memory. When we put up our little Christmas tree (I'm not joking, it's only about 2 and 1/2 feet tall), I remembered each outreach as we hung up the ornaments from each different country we have been in. Taiwan, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama... and a few that people have given me. God has taken me to so many places and through so many different experiences that four years ago, I would NEVER have thought I would get to experience. Today as we were walking through the mall we ran into David, who is Chinese and is going to be doing the next DTS. We met him on our DTS three and a half years ago when we were doing a short outreach in Panama. We had been helping out at some English classes and he was taking them. He learned about YWAM and now he will be doing a Discipleship Training School! Sometimes you don't even know the seeds you are planting, other times God allows you to see some of the fruit from those seeds that you have sown. And it is such a privilege.

Panama has left it's print on me. I will never be the same.
