Greetings from the DR!
We began our day with huevos y bacon. We began our first work project which involved painting the pastor's office and furniture. We also set up the photo lab for tomorrow's special family portrait night. Everything went smoothly and our goals were accomplished.
It has been very very warm (one team member said that is an under statement!) However, we are all adapting well to our 100 climate.
The ladies received a cooking lesson from Francisca today. Everyone can look forward to tasting carmelized plantains at our team celebration.
Naomi had a wonderful opportunity to minister to a dear woman named Leocadia whose father recently passed away. It was a beautiful time of visitation and ministering for Naomi and our team.
We spent the afternoon making visits to homes to spread the word about the family portrait night at the church tomorrow. We were warmly received, welcomed into every home and prayed for the people we met. We look forward to welcoming them into the church tomorrow evening and pray that they will become future family members in Christ.
Lloyd is very impressed with the male leadership within the church. He has had occasion to speak with several leaders, all of whom give God the glory for all things. He has been very touched by their continual recognition of God at work in their lives and in the ministry here in Monte Cristi.
Team time together has been a special time for all of us. It has given us the opportunity to see how God has worked in each one of our lives.
Tomorrow we will continue with our work projects, home visits and family portrait night. We will also lead a children's ministry program in the evening.
Thank you to all for the support and prayers you have been sending our way. Please continue! They are sustaining us.
Dios te Bendiga,
The DR TEAM (via Jenny K)
