Wednesday

Yesterday we went to a Spanish church. It was a lot  different then the churches back home. It was an amazing experience because even though we didn't know what they were saying we were still worshipping the same God.


Two days ago we went on a prayer walk and it was very eye-opening to see how much other people struggle and how we take things for granted. I really enjoyed the walk it meant a lot to me to see just how religious everyone was and there was an incredible man was so proud of his kids and it was very touching to everyone who was on the walk. The walk definitely helps me to understand how lucky I am.

Two days ago we went on a prayer walk. It was very eye-opening to see people that have so little than we do. It was really fun.  We got to go see the people at the dump and went to church at night It was really fun because of the worship. VBS is really fine as well and I can't can't wait for more to come.

Today has been the highlight of the trip for me. Those who know me will understand there was pain that surfaced as I contemplated visiting the special needs home. God is the healer though, and he met me very powerfully as we went. The smiles of the children, their desire to dance with us and be hugged, and the light in their eyes showed the beauty of their creator. One five year old girl with a hydrocephalus had been left out of the dance party because she couldn't get out of her bed. I had the privilege of holding her and enjoying all the smiles and giggles as I talked to her and touched her deformed hands. The youth blessed me by loving the kids well, even the ones that were hard to love because they smelled bad or peed in your lap. I am thanking God for all these very special children who carry a piece of heaven here on earth, and for the patient and loving caregivers in the home.  Please pray for Jon Romano's wedding that will take place tomorrow evening.  Love Diana M

Hello everyone,   We have arrived safely in the Dominican. Flying was a new experience for me, but it was something that I don’t regret. The flight really opened my eyes to how truly beautiful the world is and how amazing God is to have created such a beautiful place. The Dominican has already shown me a couple knew things, whether that's how crazy driving can be or how hard it is to communicate with someone who doesn't speak English. After the landing and going through security, we took an hour and a half drive from Puerto Plata to Santiago. This drive was filled with ukulele playing and laughter among the group. After checking into the hotel, we headed to the Romano’s building. We got the privilege to meet the team that was here before us, who are leaving tomorrow. Then we came back to the hotel, and are currently spending time with each other as a group. Even though today has been a long day filled with travel, it has been a beautiful day for me. The Dominican is a beautifu
