The RAIN came down!

It is Monday morning in Barahona. But wait, some rain came too! It decided to interupt us during our morning group bible study. Luckily the constuction group is painting tommorow! The baseball and basketball groups have already left (we could not convince them to not play) and those that are about to prayer walk are waiting togther in the lobby as I type this out to you. Its funny that yesterday we over emphasized the rain in the story of Noah!

Sunday- A GREAT DAY!
Our group attended the first church service on the mountain with the blind community there. Suzanne drew their pictures, we sang with them and had a sermon. Next, we went to the lot next to the baseball field where Franklin's church services are held. It was a blessing to worship with their church and enjoy the cool breeze of the Lord's presence. I was involved in the children's time during the service. We sat in the dugout with the kids and acted out stories, games and pretended to be animals aboard Noah's ark!
** To those of you that may think that over seas mission trips are a way to eat less and loose weight, I am sorry. Our savory pork chops and fresh fish will only make you want to eat more.
Well, today is our first day of the start of our sports, childrens, womens and construction projects and clincs... Pray for lives to be changed. This morning we talked with Paul about making our lives' bridges. There are many bridges that we can be in leading those to Christ. If we do our part, there will be many bridges over all of Barahona!
Hasta luego =] Spanish word of the day- el perro (the dog)

Interesting that we are also experiencing rain and cooler temps around 76!! Hope the weather is cooler for you. Everyone is in our thoughts and prayers. Praying God's protection over everyone. Can't wait to hear more about what God is doing! Tell Sarah it is quiet around here without her (because she is so loud and rowdy @ home) and we are missing her.
