Whenever you are having a special experience on a trip or with new friends you always wish you could share it with others that you love. We got to do that over Christmas. Our three kids came down for 3 weeks!!! We were worried they'd get bored for that long, and a few maybe did a little but I thought it was perfect.
The first day in Santiago the branch had a Christmas party. It was so incredible. Hermana Katy Salinas planned it. It was perfect with "Tipica" dancing to a nativity Panamanian style.
I can't even express in words how special the whole night was. Everyone did such an incredible job. It was perfect!!
The next week was spent meeting all of the people we have grown to love here. It's so neat that everyone asks about the kids because they know them now. The kids know who we're talking about when we say we're visiting so and so.
Then we spent time at Playa Blanca on the beach and then in Panama City doing tourist things.
I am so grateful our children could share a little bit of our missions with us. It has been the biggest blessing of our mission.
