"...and then the tire blew..."

06.29.2012 Today (Friday) was our beach day. Of course we waited quite awhile for our bus driver so instead of leaving at 9am, we left at 11am. We had a nice morning, though...breakfast, devotions, hanging out. We finally began our journey to Colon, not the nicest city (lots of drugs), but it had beautiful beaches. Unfortunately, on our way there we blew a tire in the bus. Our bus driver was amazing! He got us safely off the road and changed the tire in no time! We probably looked a little crazy....a group of Americans on the side of a road! We finally made it to the beach. Everybody enjoyed the warm water and sand. Dalton had his guitar, so Edwin played some songs for us... Tonight, after the beach, we went to the largest mall. We didn't have much time, but we shopped a little and had supper there. Tomorrow (Saturday), we will be headed to the Kuna village, Incanti. We all have been anticipating this exciting journey! We will be taking a 2 hour bus ride and a 1 1/2 hour boat ride to get there! I know we are going to be blessed with an amazing time! We've been warned about different things...cameras/pictures, the boys looking at the girls, etc. The church is in the process of forming relationships with the people, so we don't want to jeopardize that. We've got to get up extremely early for this trip, so Adios! Keep the prayers coming! :-)
