The Previous Two Days

Yesterday we got to spend time in relaxing and fellowship. We went to church a few blocks down and worshiped in the native language. It was really awesome, especially because there were many worship songs we sing in our own church back home, but obviously in English. The pastor talked about the Lord’s Prayer and asking for God’s Will. We all truly enjoyed the service.

Today, we returned to work at Pedro’s house and finished it up. Many of us are covered in multiple colors of bright paint. We put up walls, painted, cemented a front walk, put in smoother, cement floors and made the place look much better than it did before. Pedro is so very grateful for our accomplishments and can’t wait to move back in the neighborhood. It was truly a blessing to fix his house and create a better living situation for someone so humble as he. The before picture of his house is on the previous blog posting; above is the finished product.

We also returned to the kitchen work for awhile, putting together more rebar and working more on the wall. We will continue working there for much of the rest of the week.

Thanks to all of you out there who are reading this and praying for our safety, health and growth on this journey of ours. We also ask that you pray for this country (Dominican Republic) as it is a country in much need. It has truly become a very special passion in my heart as well as many others on the team!
