| hey all! back in panama... not home yet though. and yes, i say home, because i feel like the base is my home now. when i think of home i think of there. it´s weird. but i know it´s just God giving me peace in what i´m doing here. got a bit of a cold, but that´s ok. we are in Volcon, Panama... it´s wonderful here. simply gorgeous little mountain town nestled in the northern part of panama... it´s weird though, to know that i am so close to the equator and it´s around noon and i´m freezing... the water is like ice coming out of the faucets. ugh... but i will live through it. well that´s pretty much it for now... talk to you all later. |

| had a pretty full day yesterday... went and got my hair cut, it´s really cute. and then was taken out for coffee by my wonderful friend miranda, with Lasse, Alan, and Jose too. Then Alan took us downtown San Jose, Costa Rica to go shopping in the markets. it was frun i got some cool earings for myself, and some cute gifts for the sister and the mother as well. after that we came back and hung out for a bit and then went to a fundrasier dinner put on by the Costa Rica YWAM base. and then, we were going to go roller skating, but after a series of unfortunate events , we did not... we went to a movie instead. it was a great time though. we are leaving costa rica tomorrow... we are heading for Volcon, Panama... then David, Panama... then Santiago, Panama... then back home to Panama City, Panama. i can´t believe that we only have 4 and a half weeks until this is all done. it´s so weird. but Gos is good, and that´s a great thing! talk to you all later. Hasta Luego! | | |
| so here i am in costa rica... sitting in a little internet cafe... and i think... where was i one year ago... and where am i today. i don´t even want to remember where i was a year ago. i just have no idea who i was a year ago. i know i was a totally different person, and i never want to be that person again. and for a while i was scared, will people accept the new samantha? will they love me still? will i made them mad with my new found trust and faith in God? then i moved on, and i prayed more and i made friends here... and God showed me something profound. WHO CARES!?! right now, i have so much going for me, and such an amazing peace and strength that only God can provide. and i´m doing the work that He has layed out for me. and yeah, it hurts that my little sister would rather ignore me and be mad at me than try to learn about who i am. and who knows about my real dad. and i have lost about every friend that i had before i came here... but none of that matters. and i have learned that none of that is my fault. i can´t live to please anyone else. i can only life to please God. and who wouldhave ever thought that those words would be coming out of my mouth. i know i didn´t. it´s still hard... especially with my sister, all i want to do is cry out to her and beg her to love me the way i want her to love me. i want to through myeslf at her and beg her to not be mad at me, just to say hi once in a while would be better than nothing... but i know that only God can do it... i can´t and i´m not going to. i love her too much, and i can´t do that to either one of us, i can´t get in the way of what God wants. and i no longer will, in anyone´s life... so to anyone that reads this... anything i´ve ever done to you, said to you, not said or done to you... forgive me. i´m sorry. i know that not many people read my xanga, not many ever did, but i know that God will lead the ones who need to read this here. so bless all of you, and i will talk to you all soon... thanks... samantha | | |
| well, i just got back to costa rica, from honduras... i now have 13 stamps in my passport. woohoo! we saw amazing things going on in honduras. we ministered to guys that are living on the streets, people that live and work in the garbage dump, and many other walks of life. it was intense. i want to go back there will all my heart right now. i loved it. we aren´t going to nicaragua anymore, communication problems. things are going really smoothly with our large group, much better than anyone thought i think. we are here for 7 days... i´ll try to update more later.
