Hiiiiiiiii! =D
The DR has been such an experience! I absolutely LOVE my site. So far we have helped the girls make aprons, which I will def try to make when I get back home! They also make blutos (bags) that they sell on base and the girls use it as their income. I’m having one of the girls make me one =). My site leader Arlene took us into town to personally pick out material for our blutos. I could basically keep going on and on and on but I wont. It is way too much. We went water rafting today. IT WAS CRAZY! Ill fill everyone in when I get home but def a LIFETIME experience that I will NEVER forget.
Other than that the DR has been completely different than I expected in so many ways. It truly does not feel like a missions trip. It is more like summer camp in a foreign country. Simply because of the way base is set up. For that very reason the only thing I love is actually LEAVING the base. Although I def feel like God has His purpose in bringing us out here and me personally. He has really called me out to take ACTION on the things that He has been putting in my heart back home. He is calling me to live a simpler life. That will cause me to be completely dependent on Him in every sense of the word rather than in my things, friends, family and busy life. He wants me to be hungry, needy and thirsty for Him. With out all my daily distractions. There so much that I need to let go of when I get back home and spend my time in a more efficient manner.
Well I’m going to rap up because I’m in the cafeteria and the some people are playing this REALLY annoying game and are testing my patience because they keep banging the table. I can’t wait to get back and tell you all the fun stories! One more week! Woooooo! PLEASE pray that within the last few days God shows me something new and that He reveals something to me that will completely change me. I appreciate all the prayers! Please continue to pray for us. By the way please update me on our bible studies and how they are going ((how many peeps?!)). I cant wait to go back for those! Evelyn PLEASE tell me its if they really did hire you at sizzler!?? Patti said she thinks they did. I love you all!
My SPECIAL love and Heart go to

Laura, thanks for sharing how God is speaking to you there to affirm what He's been telling you here. Isn't He amazing! I just love Him so much - and I'm so blessed by your post and the hunger that you have for Him. Have a great week. We're praying for you daily (multiple times daily, actually) and thanking the Lord for your service to Him there. Can't wait to hear more stories.
