Days 2-3

Wow. What a place.

We have sent construction teams to build the 2nd floor on the CCED school. When they are not hauling block, mixing concrete and building walls, they are surrounded by lush green mountains. Sort of looks like home.

The VBS team has now had two days of Bible Study - David and Goliath and the story of Moses. We remembered so many of the kids - and they continue to bless us with their smiles, hugs and laughs. Photos coming soon.

The new guest house hosts are great fun - and full of energy. This is really a wonderful place to be this week and we all feel so blessed to be here.

Rumor has it we will be playing softball tomorrow against a DR team. YIKES. Could be hilarious!

Blessings at home. Hope to have some pictures soon.

Dominican Republic Day One!

Hola from the Dominican Republic! We arrived safely last night in Santo Domingo from a long day of traveling. This morning we drove to San Juan and saw beautiful scenery on the way! We arrived at the guest house with a warm welcome from the new solid rock couple. After a day of planning and resting, we had dinner and went to an Evangelical Church service, all of which was in Spanish. Although there was a language barrier, we could feel the worship and fellowship through music and prayer. Tonight we will rest up for a long day of working with children in El Rosario and working construction near the guest house. Thanks for your prayers!
Adios Amigos!
