It's Sunday!! Our mid-way point!
We spent a great day yesterday taking a walking tour of the city center with one of our friends, Alex. He showed us some of the historical buildings as well as some important landmarks. San Francisco has the only school for the deaf, and we learned that the church has a ministry for these people, some of whom we will meet today during services. We also visited the offices of the most famous CACAO in the world. The president gave us a brief lesson and we hope that a tour of the actual plant will be available for future Quest teams.
In the afternoon, the girls had some down time, which they spent getting to know some of our new young friends- a lot of playing "never-have-I-ever" and learning very interesting details about each other's lives (please ask what that game is all about). We also visited another small neighborhood and spent some quality time with children and youth, playing and sharing. In the evening, we attended and participated in the youth service. Our girls are learning about what it means to be "transformed" and how to relate that back to life at home.
We've reached the mid-way point in our journeys and with it comes a change in our location. After services this morning with our friends in San Francisco, we will start our drive back down towards the capital where we will visit a new community to Quest. We are anticipating and waiting for new adventures and lessons to learn.
We are thinking about and praying for our friends in SA and the City, very excited about what they are experiencing.

Alex/DR Team: Excited to hear how God is working in the DR. Each of you have been called to share his love and Word to those you come in contact with, weather through Worship, sports, or just talking and meeting people on the streets. Let God speak through you and all that you do.
Looking forward to hearing stories and seeing pictures of how God has used you to transform the DR and how you have been transformed.

TATI AND ITA!!!! COME HOMEEE!!! I mean...I'm praying for you ladies and I'm so excited for what the Lord is doing there and how He's using you both to serve the team and impact His Kingdom.
Tati: We did our wedding registry! It was so fun, I can't wait to tell you about it! And don't worry, I haven't worked out since you left so you're not falling behind or anything. I love you and miss you so much!! I'm praying for you girl and I can't wait until you come back to encourage us in the faith! I'm excited for how the Lord is going to use this trip for His Glory and your Joy.!
Ita: I miss you toooo!! I'm enjoying your clothes though, and your bed! Actually.. a bunch of people have slept in your bed since you left haha. But I'm praying for you and I can't wait 'til you come home and tell me all about the trip. ohh and PS: your mom went to do the wedding registry with us this morning and she HAD FUN!! She actually bought stuff for herself too haha...are you surprised? Well the boys miss you lots, it's so weird not having you here. I'm praying for youu!! love youuu :) (gosh this was not profound whatsoever.)
HEY SUSIEEE!!! I haven't looked into the book you recommended but i will do so pronto. Love you!!
Hey TEAM: God bless you ladies! I pray that you would be encouraged by seeing the Lord of the NATIONS this week! Isn't that sooo exciting and awe-inspiring?! Just soak up everything you can while you're there. The Lord is going to use this experience to change the path of so many of your lives, and that's so exciting! I went on quest 5 years ago and that's when the Lord told me I'd be on the mission field permanently one day. I'm so excited for you ladies and I praise God for using you over there to serve His precious children, sons and daughters whom He adores.
praying for you all!
LOVE...KATY LA GRINGA WANNA BE LATINA!
Hey Lisa and Bekah!

Hi Maggie!!

Love,
Mom
Buenos dias to Alexandra, Ita, Susie & all the Q-Ladies! How's the Capital?? How has God "grown" you TODAY? I can't wait to hear what all God has been doing in your lives!! Keep savoring every moment He is giving you. From Oswald Chambers: "To be surrendered to God is of more value than our personal holiness... Once we are totally surrendered to God, He WILL work through us ALL the time." God bless you & I love you! LuLu :)
Hey Bekah V! Continuing to pray for you all, it's so exciting to read the updates and imagine how you are putting into practice everything you have learned and prepared for! Not sure if I told you about the "special" youth group we were planning for sunday, but we moved it to next sunday for several reasons, but one being so that you and Bryan will be there to take part...it's gonna be good! Can't wait to see you and hear more, but enjoy the rest of your time and keep allowing God to use you!
Love,
Karissa (& Luke & Caleb!)
