Zip Zap Zooooooom (From the DR)

After arriving to the Time Center at around 5:00am local time, we moved our luggage in and set up our beds to catch some sleep. We began our day at noon looking at Philippians one, then headed over to Ina's house for lunch-- a delicious plethora of rice, beans and chicken with fresh squeezed passion fruit juice to drink. After lunch we received an orientation of the village in Cercadillo and afterward hopped into our van and made the trek out there with our driver, Domingo.

We arrived in the village with Ina and were almost immediately greeted by local youth. Ina has been developing a relationship with both children and teens, and before we knew it we had almost 10 visitors playing games like Zip Zap Zoom and Chieften with us. After a few hours of playing, we made our way back home where we had some Jamon con Queso (Ham and Cheese) sandwiches and finished our english-spanish translations for our cardboard testimonies.
We're back at the Time Center now and having already debriefed our day are journaling about our experiences, unpacking/organizing our supply bags, and relaxing before bedtime. Tomorrow we plan on spending the day painting at Don Gregorio Church. The weather is overcast and very cool with breezes all day and night. It's rather comfortable!
Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to love and serve others in worship to Jesus.

It is so cool how you connected with the kids. Your laughter shows the joy your team has. I pray that your cardboard testamonies go well and that Jesus Christ will be glorified through them. Stay encouraged and encourage each other :)
