| Summer is officially here! It's blazingly hot here! (some days the heat index is 110 degrees F) |
Just as the Apostle Paul said at Romans 1:15 we feel "eagerness to declare the good news" The preaching work is our favorite part of being in Panama!
We are having awesome experiences and are so appreciative of the privilege.
Here are some pics of our ministry in recent weeks.

| Luke and KK at the door |
 |
| This is Jordan he is from the US, he is a great addition to our group and as you can see he offers us comic relief! :) |
 |
| This is our dear friend Kate (and our Spanish teacher) She is an experienced need-greater originally from Australia that we quickly grew to love! |
 |
| "Look at that!" |
 |
| "Stand still and show yourself attentive to the wonderful works of God" - Job 37:14 |
 |
| The householder was camera shy but she did let me photograph her beautiful children! |
 |
 |
| This is Rita's bible study Sandy. She is from the US and is making tremendous progress. She loves Jehovah and we deeply care for her. Sometimes we go out to lunch after we have her study :) |
 |
| This was my yummy lunch! |
 |
| and this is the view from the restaurant. |

| This is Aurelie and Becks (from France and England staying for 3 months) they are singing "Listen, Obey & Be Blessed" with the kids! |
Some Hardships as expected....
This was when Hurricane Sandy passed by Panama. It rained for about 3 1/2 days straight and since we have major water issues here, it led to 3 days of the water being shut off all together and then the 4th day this is what came out of the tap.....
This was a very challenging time for us, unable to do laundry, shower, wash hands etc.
Proverbs 17:17 came to mind - "A true companion...is a brother born for when there is distress"
We had our first Girls Night Out to build each other up. It was exactly what I needed!

Another great post! It must be so encouraging for the Bible students to see you down there with your kids. I was thinking that it's extra special when your kids can play with their children, it must really make an impression on them. And of course it is obvious the congregation adores them. Keep up the good work! Love, Jazz
You guys look great!! As always its great to hear things are going so well :) It's also nice to hear that the temperatures are so hot and to see a beach that isn't covered in white stuff. It's been incredibly snowy this week, lots of sickness going around and bone chilling temps of 1 degree in the day time!! So soak it up, I am sure you are soaking your clothes at least...okay totally corny I know!! Love you guys!! You all look happy and good, keep up the great work! With love, Ben and Jocelyn
Angelique and fam,
Just came across a paper that had this web address. I am so excited for you and so happy to hear you are experiencing such blessings in Jehovah's service! :) It is extremely encouraging. May you continue to thoroughly enjoy the good times, and experience Jah's power through any tough times.
Your sister, Amber M (Jamestown)
We're wanting to move to Panama to needgreat and so searching online for any blogs from current needgreaters in Panama. Ran across your blog. It's so encouraging to see families who trust in Jehovah so much and move abroad to needgreat with children. If you can do it, a couple with no kids like us need to do it also. :) May Jehovah continue blessing your family and you all can regain your health soon.
thank you for the wonderful example. love your creative pictures as well!
agape,
The Sloans
