An Emotional day in Boquete

Sunday, 05. August 2007 by Sharon Brown

Well, I woke up and felt very overwhelmed by all that is happening.........I mean, the reality of my “mission” here in Boquete really sunk in today.  I looked at a possible rental home, went to Mass at St. John the Baptist church here in town......and did a lot of praying and some crying.  I’ve been able to look at a few rental homes here in Boquete, and was trying to visualize my family in them.......wondering, would we like it here?  Would we enjoy this home?  I’m a big worrier most of the time, and need to really pray more.  I have felt pretty brave and excited about all of this so far, but just got a little out of sorts today.  I have met some wonderful people here in Panama and am very thankful for this opportunity to visit such a beautiful country, especially the town of Boquete.  It is very peaceful here.  I hope and pray that we can live here, and that all the details will work out for us to move and live here.

Note from Bruce:  This is a picture Sharon took of Boquete that day.  I think it’s beautiful.  Sharon says that the afternoon rains are regular this time of year, but that she looks forward to them --they are peaceful.
