Hola! Where to start!? It's so beautiful here in DR! It's so green and the temp is perfect. When we arrived, we were picked up from the airport and quickly thrown into this culture. The way they drive!! WOW!! Talk about loco! They drive, basically, however they want. Usually, there are no lanes, so they drive on both sides of the street, swerving around each other. Surprisingly, we all like it and laugh in shock. We all love the drive in the trucks to our sights everyday, they are such an adventure!! I spend all day with beautiful Laura <3 she translates for me alllllll the time! I've been frustrated with the language barrier, but then the women at my sight include me in baking, or a child sits on my lap, or splashes me (Walldi! the little boy that has the most pics on my camera!) he even helped me clean dishes, and then i am reminded of God's grace. Man is God so good! Our team has grown so much together, we are so united and understanding of each other, and wow do we have some funny stories to come back with. I miss you soooo much mommy!! And daddy and jen and bay....HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LITTLE SISTER <3 I hope u had a beautiful day, we celebrated by going river water rafting! Thank you to everyone who contributed to this life changing experience and for all your prays, God's listening, because he's doin some work in all of us.
All my love - ty :)

ReplyDeleteTy - you are so right - God is so good! I love that 'LOVE' transcends the language barrier and that you can feel His love when people reach out to you to bake, clean, do dishes - even a little one that you can love on as he/she sits in your lap. The love of God pushes past any language known to man! I know He is using you there and that you're making an eternal investment in hearts and lives. Can't wait to hear your stories. Much love to you and the rest of the team - you're in our thoughts and prayers throughout each day!
ReplyDeleteHey all, sounds like you are all having an awesome time. Probably even more than you had imagined. I can see God is working thru you and pushing you, isn't that amazing. So glad you all got to try river rafting. A scarry but exhilarating experience, can't wait to hear. Tell my Dana Mei I love her! and would love to see her face on a pic. Praying for you all!
