Today is the end of work day number two in the DR. And it was another hard days work in the sun mixing and laying more concrete for the amphitheater. But our team did it with joy, while attempting to get to know the Dominican workers that are working alongside us. Names are being learned by both sides and thus much joking is taking place :). If you remember one of our worker friends from last year joba (sp?), his young daughter Lady loved spending time with our team, especially Bethany. Lady is again around camp helping translate, lift shovels of cement and loving our girls, and our girls are loving her right back.
Our team quit working early today to take a short visit to a local orphanage or Casa de Ninos. Unfortunately the director was not there, so we were unable to learn about the ministry happening there. But we had a great time playing baseball, soccer, and painting the nails of the young girls. Our team loved it. Now it is time for dinner. Tomorrow we get a break from working to hike up to a nearby waterfall. Should be yet another fantastic day. Oh, and our Spanish is getting better :).
Continue to pray for our health and safety. And for our teams confidence in attempting to speak Spanish - especially as we prepare for our home stay.
Until tomorrow,
-Scott
