News from the Dominican
Republic - Friday, February 2, 2007
Well,
we're done! We finished up this afternoon and cleaned up the job
site. Overall, we laid about 1200 blocks while our original plan
was to complete about 800. God multiplied our time and efforts
again. The glass crosses were completed, inlaid in the front
walls of the church.
Another praise is that we made it through with no injuries other than a
few bumps and scrapes. A few men from the church stopped by after
work again today to lend a hand. There were a lot of hugs and
thank-yous when we left. It was a real joy to see the joy in
their faces as they saw the work progressing.
Tonight we were rewarded with the annual run to Chime Hose'. They
serve rotissery chicken and 15 birds went down. Afterwards we hit
Bon for ice cream. Pastor Ramon and his family were able to join
us for dinner. They have a new grandson, Jonathan. He's a
cute guy and I love to see Ramon's eyes light up when he sees him...the
proud grandfather.
Tonight the crew is winding down with a wild domino tournament.
As we speak, Kasandra is beating Fred and Mark and Ad is brewing
the coffee.
Please pray for us as we travel tomorrow. We should get in to Newark airport by about 5pm.
Also, I will publish an additional page on this site as a follow-up
with more pictures. Also, I will add the audio for our devotions
if anyone is interested. I had some problem this week with slow
internet connections and just focused on the pictures.
God bless and we look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.

We wanted to give you a view of what it is like to ride
in the back of the taxi through Santiago traffic. Hold on!
