DR Team update- Ella
It's been three days since we've posted and so much has happened! We're continuing working on the bathroom as well as kids ministry. We've had some set backs for thebuilding so keep that in your prayers! Sunday morning we went to the International Baptist Church (IBI) in the city and enjoyed worshipping in their congregationfinished off by an awesomne sermon on God's mercy and truth. Later that evening we also got to help lead worship in Cercadillo(the community we've been working)with songs, skits, bible stories and testimonies. children and teen ministry has also given us awesome opportunities to teach english, reading and math to the kids. Thus far we're all alive and well with all of our limbs, but keep us in your prayers, and keep on commenting! We love to hear from home! :-)

I'm so happy to see an update. It looks like you guys are having a lot of fun while touching people's lives. I will pray for the bathroom project to be a success. To my cousin, Caitlin, my shining star, keep up the great work!!! I love you so much! Xoxo Andrew
We are so happy to hear that you are all still "limbed". We pray that you will remain so. So excited that you got to spend some time with some of the kids, teaching them and showing them God's love. I hope the building project gets back on track and that guys feel like you are able to accomplish what God would hope. We'll be praying for you all. Ella, we miss you and look forward to seeing you soon. It's strange without your singing.
So glad to hear about how things are going! Praying for you all and for those that you are ministering too! We love and miss you and can't wait to hear stories first hand Ella!!
Good morning Questies. Glad to get the update. Love the pics. Looks like you are having fun as well as the children you are ministering to. Will continue to keep you all in our prayers. Praying that God will have His way in your lives as well as the lives you are touching there. And praying for the buidling project, that it will be able to be completed. God has promised to be with you, just as he promised Moses, Joshua, and the disciples. How awesome is that! Missing you Davey Boy, but thankful you have this opportunity. Love you much, Papa and Grammy :)

There is a picture of a little boy on the back of one of the girls...i remember when he was a baby mimicking our faces and laughing at us. how big he has gotten and how wonderful it is to see him still playing and enjoying the company of Questies. I pray for every team that is out of the USA. have a safe return! XOXO Alex ZAppala
