Dominican Update

Well its been cloudy since we arrived here, but today it is going to be sunny and hot. Things have gone great. Thank you for all of your prayers. We have only had minor scraps and temporary upset stomaches. Our group has really meshed well with the Dominican students that we have met up with and are serving at the camp with us. Thank you for your prayers, we are really serving with one heart and voice.

You can keep praying for us. In our nightly devotions we are praying that God would help us reveal His glory to all people, and that we would also glorify Him. The further we get into the trip the harder this will become as we get tired and worn down. Keep up the prayers (We are counting on those prayers Hope!).

Here are some highlights so far:
The air port was great. We made all our flights with no issues. Praise God!

Kyle and Denver knocked a coconut out of a tree (they were really excited).

We are working on finishing a house here. We have also been painting, cleaning the camp, and catching a goat that has escaped.

Everyone has been awesome! The group is working so hard and doing a great job revealing God´s glory.

We played a game of volleyball against the dominican group and I am proud to say that the Americans won 25-18. I don´t know why they were so upset though (Just kidding we did win but it was a lot of fun for both sides).

Everyone told me to tell you all hello, and to keep praying for us. I am very impressed by our students and leaders. They are here for the right reasons and are embracing being a Kingdom worker.

A couple of small notes to wrap up:
-Andrea, Hannah is upset you didnt post who won So you think you can dance on this blog. She really wants to know

-Can someboday keep us up to date on the reds scores on here? We have been talking a lot of smack down here about our Reds and we need to know if they are backing that talk up.

-Feel free to leave comments about things going on in Ohio or any other things like that. We would love to hear it. We will try to post a few stories too each time we get on.

-So far we have seen a few Tarantulas, plenty of mosquitos, and lots of lizards. Pretty cool stuff.

Tonight we will be doing a Youth Presentation to a lot of the teens in the area. The Dominican Group will be helping us lead worship, and communicate to the teens. Monday Wednesday and Thursday we will likely be doing VBS´s in the surrounding villages as well.

Thanks for praying for us. Keep it up!
