News from the Dominican Republic - Sunday, February 3, 2008

Today was a great day in the DR!  We started out by going to church is Los Girsolas.  I have posted some pictures below and a video of the worship time.  Since the service is in Spanish, we can't understand the words but we know that God is being worshiped.  The best part of the service for me was communion.  Again, we couldn't understand the words, but we were served elements by a Dominican Elder in the church who will one day worship around the throne of the same Savior.  We were surrounded by brothers and sisters in Christ who were saved by that same Savior.  Thought the differences are many, those that are there aren't really important in the end.

After church, the crew had lunch and some down-time for dominoes.  Then it was off to a baseball game.  It's the Carri bean World Series in Santiago this week and Rich got us some tickets to see a game.  Everything was going fine until it went into extra innings and Joe had to miss most of the first quarter of the Super Bowl.  Kristen probably taped it and he can re-watch it.

We're looking forward to getting to work tomorrow.  We'll be pouring concrete for some steps and doing some electrical work.

Please pray for me personally as I visit the Compassion child that we have been supporting as a family.  You can see an update by clicking HERE.
