Hola! We are here in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. We arrived safely last night and got to the school where we are staying. We ate some delicious food by candlelight and slept without AC. It was a good lesson in humility. We are all incredibly happy to be here and blessed to have met our hosts.
Today, we went to a park and played soccer, baseball (with broomsticks and bottle caps), and frisbee. It was really fun to meet some of the local youth. We spoke with a few of them and were happy to know that they were already believers and were part of a church. We also had some girls share the gospel with a crowd of other children. We are getting excited about the opportunities we will have to meet more of the nationals over the next few days.
Tonight, we will be attending the church that our hosts attend. We will be performing a drama, giving a testimony or two, and three of our students will be speaking a short message through a translator. Over the next several days, we will be helpling with a construction project in the mornings and sharing the gospel through sports and ministry gatherings in public places in the afernoons.
Please continue to pray for us to persevere through any trials that we're not used to in Texas. Please also pray that we may be able to communicate the gospel efficiently despite any language difficulties and help to add to this body of believers here in Santo Domingo. Success equals relationships.
This might be our only blog as it is difficult to get internet access where we are. However, if given the chance, we will update you with how everything is going. Thanks for your prayers and support!
