Here's the great team that I got to work with all week! Fidel and Altagracia are so amazing and I love them. Miss them too! Leo, the man in the striped shirt, helped us a lot during the week. He was the one who took me to the bus station for my bus going north to my friends in Santiago.
We gave out over 1,300 shoe boxes!!!! Praise the Lord! We'll never know the impact we made, but we do know that we helped share the gospel, one child at a time. We are helping Dominican Republic become a nation that loves the Lord.
Pray for Fidel and his work. Pray for Altagracia and her school. Pray for the Dominican pastors who are now going to disciple these children. Pray for the children who received the boxes, that they'll come to discipleship and that they will grow, accept Christ and change their nation.
What an opportunity we had! They kept saying things about us giving so much up to come. But I know that they give up so much more. Praise the Lord for the chance we had!
Thank you for enjoying our journey with us! Sorry that the days have been a little delayed, and the entries have been very long, but I hope you loved it as much as I did!
Abby, I love the pictures of you. You look soooo happy. I can tell that you are just where you are supposed to be.
