June Birthdays!
June always seems like Christmas at the Perez' house. June 12th is Saraí's Birthday (photo taken by Saraí of a pineapple farm) , June 18th is Misael's, and June 26th Verna's. Not to feel left out, I have Father's Day. Thank you for all of your b'day wishes in Facebook and Instagram.
Saraí is now taking online classes toward a BS in Interdisciplinary Studies. She wants to go into the medical field. At the end of this year or the beginning of next year, she will start an EMT program
Misael graduated this year! We haven't taken his graduation photos yet. He has been taking online college classes and currently has 34 credits . He wants to go into the cybersecurity field. We jokingly say he will be a legal hacker.
We are proud of our kids, (our adult kids now). It is a blessing to see what God has done and will be doing in their lives.
Construction Mission Trip Opportunity:
“I will build my church” Mathew 16:18
Calling churches that would like to participate in a CONSTRUCTION/REPAIR MISSION TRIP in January or February.

If you or your church is interested

Panama Protest
The last two weeks there have been protests all over the country against the government about the high cost of gas and food. Even the teachers are protesting which means that most schools are closed (it's not summer here).
Things are getting worse. Due to the protesting, the people are blocking the roads which is causing many problems for day to day life. One issue is delivery trucks can't delivery produce to the stores.
We were planning to go to the village last weekend but because of the protesting in the country we were not able to travel.
However, on a positive note, last Monday the government lifted the mask mandate for most public places. Even though it is a little weird not to wear a mask after these last couple of years it feels really good to go to church and the grocery store mask free!
Prayer Request
Peaceful Agreement: Pray for the people and the Panama government to come to a peaceful agreement.
Sports Fundraiser: July 30 our team in Panama will have a sports fundraiser. We've invited churches here for a day of playing soccer and volleyball. Pray that everything goes well and it will
