This whole trip for me has been about showing love. All the Dominicans show so much of God’s amazing love. They run up and grab your hand, hug you, and have the biggest smile on their face. Whenever you walk down the street they all wave and say, “Hola!” or “Americana!” Being friendly is key. [...]
This week has been amazing. God has used so many different things and so many different people to reveal himself to me and open my eyes to new things. I have made so many new relationships, as well as, growing in the relationships I already had with a couple Dominicans. On Monday morning we were [...]
Today we share the love of Christ with those people who are often considered unlovable. The leprosarium seems to always be one the best parts of the trip. Pray that we can once again make a great impact on the residents.

So I’m in the Dominican Republic. I don’t speak the language. I have no idea what to do or where to go. I’m lost, but God is not. Today, we were looking at the sites we are going to work, and I see all the kids that are flooding into the group. I started thinking, [...]
So far the DR has been amazing! This morning when we went to the church service it was unbelievable. The way the Dominicans worship is like no other place I have ever seen. Even though the songs were in Spanish it was great trying to sing along with them. One of the songs we sang [...]
