San Francisco de Macoris

Hey everyone! We are now on our last stretch of outreach in San Fransisco de Macoris. As our first week comes to a close (hard to believe!), we get a free day, and I get to tell you what we have been up to! This last week we helped to level a foundation for a house (two picks, two wheelbarrows, many shovels, and lots of dirt!), played with kids, did about 3 presentations, and presented in 2 churches. We leave on Monday for a town called Esperanza where we will be for the last two weeks. There, a guy who leads 20 different pastors is organizing presentations for us in all 20 churches-plus some work projects! We will be plenty busy, but having a blast! God has really been working on our hearts, and making sure we realize that this is for HIS glory, not our own. We have been convicted of wrong attitudes, repented of those attitudes coorporatly, and experienced the blessings of clean hearts. Please pray that we continue to seek God in this time, even as the outreach draws to a close. One big prayer concern is that one of our girls fractured her ankle while working at the construction site on Wednesday; she is in a walking cast-boot thing for 15 days, but is experiencing MUCH pain and does not sleep well. Also, my back is out of alignment, which causes pain in any position but lying down. Pray for quick healing and continuing health for the rest of the team. I cannot express how much knowing that people are praying for me helps in the rough times; thank you so much to my faithful prayer partners during this time! Only 3 more weeks left. Let´s finish them strong!!
