"a Guatemalan, a Panamanian, and an American..."

06.28.2012 Well, today we were woken up by Pablo! Through broken translation yesterday, Edwin thought we were planning on staying in the city starting tonight, instead of the original plan on Friday. So...we started our day packing all of our things and getting them ready to be moved to the district house where we were going to stay. After packing up all of things and moving them into one room, we headed to the church for breakfast and to begin our last day of work. The plan was while we started the work on the church, Jeremy, Pablo, and Dario would go load up the luggage and take it to the district house so it was there for us tonight.  At the worksite we had a lot of little things to do. I had to finish the two signs on the outer walls, they began painting the two outside side walls, and the stage area had to be finished before we began cleaning.  After lunch, we continued to work, but the boys were not back so I called Pablo just to check on them. They had just finished up and were grabbing some food and heading back. About an hour later we got another phone call from Pablo telling us they had gotten pulled over, the bus they were driving had an expired insurance. So, they ticketed Pablo and took the bus!! So needless to say they were going to be a bit late and hopefully not walking back! We finished up our work in the late afternoon, right before the skies opened up and poured. We hung around for awhile waiting on any word from the guys and also for supper. Right about the time we were headed to dinner the guys arrived, without a bus! Our plan was just to hang out until another bus arrived, so after dinner, Dalton played his new guitar and we had an impromptu jam session...part Spanish, part English. We finally got a new bus and headed into the city. It was a long ride, but we made it to the house. This is the same house Jeremy and I stayed last summer when we were here.  We are blessed to be in the city. We don't have to get up extremely early now, so that's nice. The next few days we have here in Panama City are going to be fun! Tomorrow we will be heading to the beach and to the mall. Saturday is our trip to the kuna village and Sunday we will be headed back to the church for service and then going on Edwin's tour of the city. Should be a great weekend before our travel day back on Monday....
