THANK YOU!!!

The 10 day journey has come to an end. Visiting our new friends in the Dominican Republic was an incredible experience. There are so many moments that we will never forget, such as serving with the students from Maria’s church, throwing water balloons at one another, painting, worshiping in Spanish, going boating, roasting marshmallows during the summer on a bonfire (that was really hot!), playing volleyball, and many other unmentionable moments that are just too many to list…

Between some drama, jokes, work and fun times we were able to get to know each other a lot better, learned that it does not matter what you have and what the price tag says you can still enjoy your life and lend a helping hand to the ones that need it; kids who have not seen the privileges that we enjoy seemed to not even need them to be happy – they easily find happiness in the simple things in life such as friendship and love. They are able to look at life through the eyes of Jesus who is the Lord of their lives and are so eager to share it with the rest of the world through showing love and compassion. No matter the age or the background, no matter the struggles of the past life children and adults alike seem to get what following Christ is all about…


Thanks to all who have been following this blog and to all our sponsors who made this trip possible. 
A huge GRACIAS to all the parents for your support and to the Team in the Dominican Republic, especially to Alberty and Ingrid for your kindness, love and hospitality while we were with you!!!
