Please Pray!!

By -
Today, my mom got a call from my grandparents, bearing the sad news that my aunt died.

She was in her early 50's, and probably not a Christian.

We have no idea what happened. It was so sudden, and unexpected. Mama talked to her yesterday, and even ordered her a pair of shoes, which she was waiting for with great anticipation.

I weep as I write this. I remember her as such a jolly woman, always ready to serve. The last time I saw her, I was 6 years old, when we traveled to my mother's home country.

Guy's, listen to me. We are not sure that my aunt was saved, and that's what saddens us the most. Psalm 90:11-12 says "Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? even according to thy fear so is Thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Our days are numbered. We never know when our last day is going to be. Y'all, this is a grim reminder to us all to "number our days"

Friends, please pray for my Panamanian family. They are all (as far as we know) unsaved. My grandmother has high blood pressure, and there's no telling what is going to happen now. We desperately want to go to Panama now, we just don't have the money. Please, I beg of you, pray for us. It will be greatly appreciated, I assure you.
Thank you so much, I love you all.

Hey Y'all! As the title explains, I am (finally!)  posting about the 4th, a month later. I know, I know, that's procrastinating. I'm working on that, I promise! So here we go: We arrived rather late (whoops), and went immediately to play in the creek. Since there were some certain children that were splashing, I decided not to risk getting my camera wet.   My friends resting, staying hydrated. It was so hot that day! After a little while our wonderful planner Charity had some games prepared for the kids. For the younger kids, she had them painting, while the older ones were Tossing Water Balloons, volleyball, and . . . Sack races! Waiting for the race to start with anticipation. Watching the sack and three-legged race. We also had a pie competition. Here is one of the judges, overlooking the splendid array of artwork on the pies ;-) Each pie judge had their own "region" of pies to taste. The three judges discussing their favorit...

Panama, An (extremely) short summary

Hey y'all! I have meant to post this for such a long time, but I have been so busy with school, projects, papers, and stuff like that. But better late than never, right? First off, a big thank you to all who prayed for us!  To tell you the truth, my heart is torn now. I love my country, the USA, my friends, and especially my church, but I also loves my mom's home country, and all of my family. (Right now, this describes me perfectly :P It gets a little annoying, honestly. If I don't remember a word in English, I say it in Spanish. I wish Spanglish was a real language....) Our departure of the States was a huge miracle, and it would take too much time to tell you everything (though I wish I could, truly!). The plane ride gave me a lot of time to think about how really small and insignificant we really are. We, who are so little, are so beloved by the Father! What a thought! We are like ants (barely!), insignificant, yet the father loved us so much that He sen...
