Hola Amigos!!



Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for Josh and I. We have needed it! After three days as Pastor Castillo's guests, we decided that we would serve them better to travel in to work, perpared with our own food and water. It is alot of work to take care of, feed and manage a large group of visiting Americans and we did not want to be a burden to any while trying to serve them. So, we are back with our friends the Rojas who are very glad to have us with them! They have been very generous and kind. Esteban and Laura are coming with us tomorrow to help also! The plan is to travel in to El Dique and continue to help in anyway we can. This is VBS week and construction is a daily labor.

Sunday morning Josh was very sick. We think it was food posioning or something. Tuesday I woke with a horrible sore throat and tongue. I can explain, as words can not do justice to how horrible it looked in my mouth... It even scared Josh! God was so kind though, and within three hours medicine was delivered to our door! Today I was much better but later this afternoon stricken with a terrible migraine. Please pray I am able to work tomorrow.

We are very thankful for all that God is teaching us during this trip. We are told that we are having the "real Dominican experience," and that "Living in the Dominican is living on the edge...hand to mouth." How true...

God bless you all, we will be home in nine days. DV

I'm so glad you are better! That sore throat you had sounds scary. I'm so glad Josh and you have had the opportunity to have this experience in the Dominican. I'll be praying for your week!

Love your, Ma
