Hello Everyone!!!!
Just a short note to tell you all that we are working on all the assignments, hopefully we will keep everyone busy in the mission field....that is one of the goals!!!
We need some info from you. Each person to write: name, skills, things you like to do, ministry area of your choice, any food allergies, especial medicines you are bringing with you for your own use - we need to make sure we carry it with us in the event yours get lost. You can submitt those to us by e-mail norkli55@yahoo.com
We also need to ask that you PLEASE donate luggage space for transport of mission supplies. We can take 2 bags each, of 50 lbs or less (correct me Joan, if I am wrong here) - we have to pay for them, but we need them.
The extent of our financial resources will determine how much we will be able to do, but these are the three ministry areas we have been planning to do:
MINISTRY AREAS:
Medical
Construction
Childrens' Ministry

PASSPORTS...................HOW IS THAT GOING???????????????
More to come!!!!
Go Team!!

Good news for the medical team!

Hello Friends,
I just talked to the secretary of Foreign Affairs for the Department of Health in Panama, and they told me that the documents were all received. They submitted them into the Department of Health today, and that they expect a "resolution" by some time next week.
Lic. Itza Brose told me that because we submitted our request early she sees no problem in us getting a license before the mission dates!!
Praise the Lord the docs were received and processed promptly out of the first office!!!
Now we need to pray they process the resolution, and send it to us also in a timely manner...
Thank you for your own promptness in getting the licenses and diplomas to us!!
Go Team!!!!

About the Spanish lesson

Hello Everyone,
This a very basic conversational Spanish.
As you can see, the text got moved around, but I hope you can still get the idea.
I will also e-mail you the document from which you can work directly on it ans save it for tuture reference.
Please give me some ideas of things you want me to work on in regards to Spanish.
I will try to give you more lessons as we go on about common introduction sentences, making some basic questions, etc.
Have fun!!
