Day Four

With all of the rain that we had over the past couple of days, we decided to visit La Colina Christian Reformed church. That church was one that a team from Shalom helped last year. The pastor was excited to see us and to show the progress that the congregation had made since our team left. They have never stopped making incremental improvements as they could.

On the way back, we stopped at a small beach to have our lunch. Some of the team managed to get a little swim in, but then we were on our way back to Paraiso to continue our work. We made some advances today with getting nearly all of the rafters up and a good start on the roofing. We still have a great deal of work to do, but even with the abbreviated work day today, it was a joy to see the progress.

It is already getting late, so I will only be posting one picture this evening. More to follow. Please continue to pray for each of our team members and all of he churches in the Dominican Republic.

  2. Hello from cold & snowy Sioux Falls! Been thinking of you and praying for you since you left, but a lot more today since it's your special day! Wish I could say it in person, but love you & praying for you. Can't wait to hear all about your adventures! Mom and I are about to go out for supper to celebrate for you, don't worry. :) And we're willing to do it again when you're home! Love you, Dad! Happy birthday!
