Yesterday we finally moved into our house here in Potrerillos! It has been a fairly tiring process, but I am happy to say that Little Beast hauled a LOT of stuff without any issues, even up the steep hills between Volcan and here.
We don't have internet yet, except a two day prepaid access thing I bought to communicate on my phone with until we can get it hooked up.
I will be happy when all the unpacking and organizing is done, plus the dreaded "where did I put THAT (insert any household object)?"
"It's in one of these bags/boxes."
"Which one?"
"One of them."
Once this is all over with we can get rolling with different projects.
It has been a lot of fun visiting people I haven't seen in a long time. Yesterday after arriving and unloading the vehicles, I walked down to our local grocery store owned by a Chinese couple named Antonio and Jenny. Those are their Panama names of course. When they say me Antonio bellowed out, "Alan! It's been long, where were you?"
I spent some time with them, and found out that even though they are both Chinese, they ironically met in Panama and have been married for 18 years now.
As odd as it sounds, the Chinese are the largest, most unreached people group in Latin America. They are mostly overlooked by the church which tends to focus on the indigenenous people groups.
There is a lot happening, and a lot more to come. When we have internet hooked up it will be much easier to keep updates coming, with pictures and videos, but for now all I have it my phone!
Until next time, I hope everyone is doing very well, and as always feel free to write me at Alan.crookham@gmail.com.
