Jluy 11th

Can it be our last day in the Dominican?! Yes, I think it is!

Today we were up for breakfast at 7:00 AM. Afterwards we had our devotions, then we broke into three groups (there were three interpreters) and hit the streets in the immediate area of the school/church/mission house inviting people we met to the church to see our skits and hear some testimonies. There was a good turnout! Brad played the guitar and sang, then we had all four skits (there’s another church group here as well) and about five people shared their testimonies including Becca. At the end of our presentations, people were asked to come forward for prayer. Four or five people asked for prayers for health, to find lost loved ones, or for their children; however one young Dominican (he is actually a worker/mason on the orphanage) asked Christ to be his Savior! Another young man rededicated his life to Christ! It was truly wonderful!

We announced it was time to play games for the children. Some kids played soccer, hopscotch, and jump rope. However very soon, a pickup game of baseball began! It was very competitive and everyone had a ton of fun!!

Then another trip to the beach, it was a different beach today. We piled into three vehicles and drove about 45 minutes. Afterwards, we were taken to a lookout with a great view.

We came back to camp and there was a huge line for the showers! Pastor Pedro arranged to have some of the Dominican church ladies prepare dinner for us … or should I say feast! It was delicious and plentiful! We even were given ice cream for dessert! A BIG hit!

We are now sitting, chatting, and playing games. It has been an eventful week. We have many tales to tell when we get home. We’ll see you very soon!
