Hola!
Reporting from sunny Dominican Republic where we the breeze today was a nice change of pace and making it extremely hard to think about our close return! Thank you to our loved ones who are keeping us grounded by reporting temperatures of back home. :\
We begun the day by passing out invitations/tracts to the neighbors of La Canela to the inaugural ceremony for the water purification system tomorrow evening at 5pm and prayerwalking the neighborhood as well. We then played beisbol with the neighborhood kids-- or more like we were being schooled on beisbol by the neighborhood kids.
After lunch, we were sent to the local park in La Canela where we practiced, played basketball, tried to teach futbol americano and had an outdoor service at the park. We were able to sing silly songs, worship songs, share testimonies, the skit and the stomp/rap. Afterwards we were able to hang out with our new friends and talked more about Christ's love for them. Please join us in praying that our listeners will continue to ponder the Truth they heard tonight and will allow themselves to be transformed by it.
Pray also for our continuing ministry with the La Canela community and our service tomorrow night. For all the moms out there: Everyone is well, everyone is eating, everyone is sleeping (relatively well), and everyone is wearing sunscreen.
Los amamos mucho!

Hello John-Paul,
I picked up your horn, do not worry. I love following what you all are doing. I miss you lots, but am so glad you are on a mission for Jesus :)
1 Timothy 4:12
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
I pray you are helping each other and working as a team for Christ.
Love Mom
so it's 8:32 on wednesday morning, and I'm about to head off to class..we don't even get February break! =P
I've been praying for you all day in and day out!!
Throughout the rest of this week, I truly hope each and every one of you is earnestly seeking God. He has so many great things in store for you, there as you continue to minister, and here as you return home to put what you've learned into practice. Don't leave without acknowledging what God has said to you.
Coming home with a direction, a goal, it keeps you striving. It can be really easy to slip once you're no longer surrounded by those who build you up and encourage you in your faith. Q7 was always warned about spiritual warfare, as I'm sure you have been as well. It does happen, and it will happen.
Isaiah 7:9 says, "..if you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all."
My continued prayers are with you!
Many blessings.

Daddy,
