Back tracking just a little...Mike spent a month this past summer in Chitre, Republic of Panama. He was part of a teacher exchange program. He spent most of his time teaching prospective and current teachers how to use a teaching method called "Power Teaching". They all really enjoyed it. During the weeks spent there he stayed with a couple different families, one of which is a former Major League Baseball player, Olmedo Saenz. He took Mike all over looking at sights and also involved him in the branding of his cattle. (Mike kept the books) The people of Panama were very kind and generous. Some even made things for him to take back home.
Although it was a great experience for Mike, we were both glad when he came home. For me it was mostly because I was packing and cleaning, getting ready for our move. It was 2 weeks after his homecoming that we moved out.
If you ever get the opportunity to go and serve in another country, we would recommend it. (preferably not in the middle of a move)
