Monday started our second week here in Panama and it was another busy day. 2 more clinics, a high school in Panama City (our toughest clinic to date) and a junior high clinic (in a tropical rain storm) in San Miguelito. The team worked very hard, and pushed through a lot of weariness to give a great effort with some kids who weren't as willing to participate at first. Ashley K and Erica did a great job sharing their testimonies, and many more kids responded to our invititation and prayed to receive Christ.

After a couple hours of R&R at Diego's (badly needed) we headed off to play the Panamanians 1 more time. Down both bigs (both Slim and Diego fouled out with 9 minutes to go in the game) the team battled hard down the stretch, missing a 3 pointer to tie the game with 9 seconds left. With weary legs the team played as hard as they could. It was really fun, however, to see the relationships our guys have built with the Panamanian players. We gathered together after the game, prayed and sang together, savoring the competitive experience we had shared together. (We also received an invitation to Costa Rica next year if we want to go!).

Tomorrow is our last clinic (the players are sad) and then we paint a gym floor in a school in San Miguelito. Keep praying for us...we're almost done.
