Hola . . . from the DR Team!

God is faithful and it is well with our souls. We are enjoying each and every day that God has given us in Monte Cristi. We are overwhelmed as we see God at work in and through the people here as well as through our team.
We have been working diligently each day rebuilding the house for Chava and her family. It encompasses a big chunk of our day. We have been able to do CHE home visits in the neighborhood which has been an incredible blessing. We have met new brothers and sisters in Christ as well as people who are interested in learning about Jesus. WAY COOL!!!
We were able to have a special evening treat last night which included ice cream and team time at the beach during sunset. It was breath taking and was a reminder of just how powerful our awesome God is.
We began the morning at the Christian School and was able to perform our puppet show for preschool age children. It was a great morning to hear the sweet laughter of the kids as we shared God's Word with them in a creative way. We are returning this afternoon for the elementary age children as well.
We are mixing, pouring, spreading (that's construction talk!) cement this afternoon and placing the tin on the roof.
Our team is strong and confident in the Lord. He has provided for every need and we are grateful to Him for every experience and person we have encountered. Our team time has been rich and meaningful. Each person's testimony has deeply touched a fellow team member. We are still celebrating the baptisms of Claudine and Lisa!! Praise God for all that He is doing!!
We have a block party planned tomorrow afternoon for the neighborhood. We will perform the puppet show again, provide face painting and balloon animals for the kids!! We plan to paint each other as well. We have plenty of pictures to share with all of you.
We send our love to all of our families. We are praying for you each day and we love you very much. Thank you for allowing us to come on this journey. We have been forever changed...
Love to all in Jesus name,
The DR Team
