Day 2

Welcome to day 2: So before we went on this trip pastor tim was sharing with us that because our sole purpose of going to the Dominican is to serve god by serving the Romano's no matter what they need us to do we will do it no matter what it is, and so this morning what they needed to be done was cleaning. So this morning after breakfast the Ramon's mentioned at everything needed to get cleaned… so can you guess what we did to serve them, yep we cleaned. We cleaned everything from the kitchen to the bathrooms to the stairs outside. After the very refreshing cleaning we headed Down to a very nice monument/museum building where we learned about the history of the Dominican Republic and currently we are all dressed up and are heading off to dinner. Thank you for all your prayers!

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 ...

Wednesday

Welcome to the middle of the week! Today was an exciting day at the farm! The goat shelter that we have been working on for the past couple days is now finished! Luckily for the goats, they should be moving into their new abode tomorrow. However, there is always lots of work to be done at the farm so we also helped to shovel and level gravel for another job as well as collect eggs from the chicken coop. Although the weather was hot today we worked hard and accomplished a lot! Way to go team!   We had our third day at VBS today, which I heard was a success! It has been awesome to see the smiling faces of the children we have had at VBS this week. Although the numbers are small, it has been a great joy to be able to share the Gospel with these eager children. I really enjoy the opportunities we have to connect with the children at VBS. With our limited language skills, smiles and hand gestures we are able to laugh, play and teach the children! I anticipate another great day at VBS ...
