Let me introduce you to....

Buenas Dias todos...well its been a while since my last update, and I'm glad to say that its because I've been so busy. We really are doing campus ministry full time. Its exciting as we have been meeting lots of new students, starting discipleship groups (bible studies with action) and planning large outreaches. Also I've been studying spanish and its coming along!! One of the exciting things was getting permission from the dean of the law faculty to go into classes and explain to the students who we are, and have them fill out a 'Spiritual Interest Questionaire'. Next week we plan to go to all first year classes to do this.


My 'all access pass' I got from the dean of the law faculty. Also gives us a table in the common area, wall space for ads and a room to hold events in....

Of course as much as I would love to say we're into a routine here in Panama, that just doesn't happen. For example, today I was walking on campus going to meet a friend, when a group of students who are involved with Vida Estudantyl ran up to me as they were looking for all the Canadians...a protest was about to start, the university was getting shutdown and soon the major roads were to be closed to, so much for my Spanish lesson..... After rounding up the Canadians, we had a quick prayer meeting during which we heard the explosions (tyres? tear gas?) Aparently this isn't a totally rare experience, and is relatively safe as long as you stay clear of where the protest is.

Now admist all these protests, outreaches and events, I have some truly exciting news....we have two new roomates...our goldfish!!! Last week I went out and bought some new goldfish for our apartment. Now here is the kicker...I'm going to let you, my precious blog readers name them. So if you have a name for the goldfish send me an e-mail steve.scott1983@hotmail.com or leave a comment to this blog.



The fish came with two snails whom I have named Pepe and Albert....
