Jessica and I have returned! We landed in San Francisco last night around midnight and made it to bed around 2am. It was a very long day of travel, but we are home safe and sound.
We both had such an amazing time in Panama. In fact, as the trip came to a close, we both found ourselves wondering if we couldn't just head back to the islands for one more week.... we saw God working in us and through us, and it was so exciting to be able to be a part of the things He is doing there.
We spent a lot of time playing with the kids there and caring for them in various ways, and we also had the opportunity to buy some food and supplies for some very needy families in the island communities and pray for them and with them. I was able to see a lot of the same kids again as I have on previous trips, which is always special to be able to reconnect with them and see how they have grown and changed since last time. 
God has also been doing some great things in our hearts as we were away, and it was exciting to see God working out those things in each other, and in other members of our team as well.
Your prayers were felt deeply throughout the trip, and we are so grateful for and encouraged by each of you! We are so excited to share some stories and adventures with you, so be watching for more stories and pictures coming soon!
