I have come to realize that every church trip involves the unexpected, both good and bad, but the good far out ways the bad.  Our rental truck pulling the trailer loses most of its engine power and we are suddenly crawling at a max of 30 mph on a very busy day of travel (Boy, the truckers loved us).  We make it to the next exit, ask a FedEx employee about a possible Chevy dealership, and as only

It is amazing how kids can open your eyes to things.  Each day at the work site, many of the children from the village come to visit.

Today was a great experience of partnering with the locals from Cuesta Arena in the beginning stages of foundation and block work for a mission house that will host future mission individuals/teams.  On a lot of mission trips we do the work  according to how we think it should be done and we most or all of it ourselves.  What an awesome experience working side by side with Dominicans and Haitians

My first day in the Dominican Republic

Well after my first 24 hours in the Dominican, I can defiantly say this is an amazing place.  The hospitality and love that we have experienced from everyone is amazing.  Even though our flight was several hours late arriving, the pastor of the church insisted we go to her house for dinner despite the fact it was close to 1 in the morning.  And boy was it worth it!  Her family can cook and yall
