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 ...

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...
