Last Day DR Team
Wow time really flew by!! Yesterday was our last day of ministry in the village. It was pretty hard saying good bye to all the kids and other guys we worked with for the bathroom project. It’s been amazing to see the many ways God works in another country, how He changes lives. We learned so much from hearing the testimonies of so many of the people Ina works with. Despite the couple setbacks we had for the bathroom project the engineer we worked with said it had been the fastest they had built it. We didn’t get to complete it but were very close to it. We thank God for the unity and team work throughout the week displayed through all members of our team. It’s great that we were able to help with a physical need for the village, but the most important was sharing the gospel and being testimonies of His great love to all people. Today will be a fun filled and adventurous day. We will be headed to the market, the colonial city, the beach (yay!!!), and eat some great Dominican food before we get on our plane back to the states at 4:30am tomorrow. Pray for God’s voice to speak to us personally as we debrief our awesome time together and our travels. We miss you guys so much and can’t wait (or maybe we can with the frigid temperatures awaiting us) to see and share with you all!

Wow, looks like you guys did some incredible work. Caitlin, we are so very proud of you and your team for hearing God's call and answering it in such a meaningful way. Enjoy your day and have a safe flight home. See you soon.
Love Mom, Dad & Justin
Good morning DR team from chilly Connecticut. Looks like you did a great job with the building project; so glad you had the opportunity to serve the Lord as you did. Sounds like you are in for a fun day.....ENJOY.
David.....do you have Woody the beaver with you????? Maybe can take at least one pic of him with the group for Miss Becky and her mission friends. May the Lord bless you all beyond all you think or imagine as you finish up your time together. Thanks again for serving and and being an inspiration to us here at home. Can't wait to see you David Edwin........love you, Papa and Grammy
It's hard to believe so much time has gone by. It sounds as if you accomplished quite a bit of the project. I hope you all feel really good about serving this week. That kind of service can plant seeds for the future. I hope you felt God working every day.
Ella, we're really proud of you. We hope you are doing well. We can't wait to see you on Saturday. Mom
Hi Everyone
I am having technical difficulties posting. I posted early on in week and do not see it.
Melissa - I am so proud of YOU - You are going to be talking a mile a minute when you get home. Marah and I are looking forward to seeing you and hearing all about it. Today is your sister's birthday! She is missing you not being here. I loved the picture of the little girl braiding your hair. See, even when shorter - kids love your hair! LOL
I hope this trip has blessed you and everyone on the DR team and that what you leave behind is a ray of the SON in those that you have loved on ...
With Love,
madre
This is what I posted early in week but can't find it:
I went to a play -
Spotlights
Flowers
A Playbill
Names with recognition
Going out to every corner of the world from the back yard, family, schools and the DR - there is no spot light on you (not of the worldly kind anyway).
God - The Creator - is your audience and HE is well pleased and HE loves YOU all.
You are doing the work (if placed on your heart by the Holy Spirit) that God is most pleased with. Your rewards will be many in Heaven.
'The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you (NLT)'
Love,
Madre
PS the FRIGID temperatures are still here
BRACE yourselves!

Ella-- Hopefully your mom's gift of being up before the sun will help you on your way home! I miss you and love you sooooooooo much!! (You can tell that it's sincere because I compromised the laws of grammar and punctuation.)

Hello Caitlin! So very proud of you and all you are doing. Such lucky children who get to enjoy your beautiful smile and kind heart. My prayers and thoughts are with you and the whole group for much success as you wrap up your mission trip. Safe travels and finish strong! Love & hugs, Mom, Dad & Justin <3
P.S. Caitlin - I too had difficult posting yesterday. Third time's a charm. :)
