Saturday evening we walked to a local church for an amazing worship service! The music was wonderful- our own Trenda sang and played a beautiful song. We clapped, danced and prayed together with our Dominican brothers and sisters. It was a JOY-FILLED night- we even danced our way to the give our offering! It was a beautiful service and we are praising God that He allowed us to experience it.
We did have an uninvited visitor to our service: a big frog who caused a lot of commotion when he hopped up a lady' skirt and no one knew what it was- people were screaming and jumping until Ramone, our security guard, came to the rescue and smashed him!
After church we enjoyed each other company and told some of our stories (lots of laughter)! This team has really bonded together from this experience.
Yesterday was our last clinic day and we were a little sad. We held our clinic in the community of Arrollo Vuelta. Each clinic begins with a prayer by the pastor, These men and women of God have prayed for us to be blessed by God and those prayers have been answered a thousand times over.
Last night we talked a little about how God formed this team and each one of us was called by Him to serve. All 28 members play a special role in this team.
This morning we are going on a tour of a local hospital and then this afternoon we are having a pool party for the community children. We will also be seeing some children who are sick in the community and helping them with medication.
God has been so very good to us this week. He has given us this opportunity and we will be forever grateful.
Tomorrow we will be leaving the DR and each one of us will leave a little part of hearts here in this beautiful place. Adios amigos!
