Today was awesome we went to the Jumbo it is like a Wal-Mart here. We bought food for the village we visted today. We spent 30,000 pasos which is about $1,000.00 US money. We were able to feed 76 homes in the village.
We arrived at the village and as soon as the kids saw the bus they were yelling with joy. We did the VBS songs and the children loved them and started to sing with us.Logan shared his testimony with the children he did a awesome job. I shared the gospel with the children using the bracelets. Seven children recieved Christ. Give God the glory..
After the gospel presentation we handed out flip flops and it was awesome to see the children recieving the shoes. After that we did the craft time. The children made necklaces with fruit loops on them.
This was the best part of the day, and that was when we handed out the food to the homes. Each home recieved a bag of rice, beans, butter, oil, can of cicken and some cookies.
After Lunch we helped jump start a program that SCORE does through the summer. The SCORE team goes around the commmunity that surrounds the complex. We went door to door inviting the children and about 45 kids came to the back yard vbs. When the vbs started Bri shared the gospel and she did a awesome job. We were able to give them nascar shirts and goody packs.
Also a special needs kid came to the program for the first time this was huge because his parents have never let him attend a program.
We ate at el sueno 's tonight and boy was it good. We had a awesome time.
The team misses you guys and can not wait to get home but at the same time will miss the people of the DR.
Please pray for our smooth transistion through the airpots and our flight.
we love you,
The DR team.
