Whale of a Good Time!

The team had the awesome opportunity to go whale watching off the coast of the DR yesterday!

Good morning!

Out on the water!

Dominican Ambiance

Watching for those whales

Taking a load off on a little island they found.

"A three hour tour..."



Whales!!!


Boy, does that look tasty.

Who's in charge here anyways...?

Cute couple. =)

John's just lucky no one thought to push him over...

Dominican countrysides - rice!
 
More whales!!


Keep the team in your prayers today as they make their way home! Looking forward to hearing their stories!

Another Successful Day!

Our team had another wonderful day in the DR! 




Another hard day of work!



Jacki is feeling quite accomplished!

Meet my sponsor girl, Perla! Can't wait to meet her in person!

Barclay's sponsor girl!

Some of our team had the opportunity to meet sponsor kids!

"Taking pictures of all the kids at the Lighthouse school again today, the highlight of the day is when Cathie saw her new little sponsor girl for the first time. Brought tears to both of us, she fell in love at first sight I think, instant bonding." -Bonnie

Hard Work Happening in the DR!

Today was filled with lots of hard work in the DR! The team seemed to love it! Check out today's photos!

Ready for the day, in coordinating colors, of course....




"We all wrote down prayers for the pastor and this project and put them in the mix. Took me back to the kitchen project where we did the same thing; put our prayers in one of the footings." - Jacki Leese

Team praying over the work that will be done at this church!



Let the work begin!

Jeff shoveling away.

Fred waiting on some concrete.

Let's just say those bottles are there for safety...

Looking a little cloudy...
