Our last two work days were hard but very constructive. We made some great progress on the pool and were knocking out painting jobs left and right. You can check out progress on the pool on Instagram at http://www.instagram.com/hsmfirstpres. The most exciting things have been hard to capture on camera and will even be hard to describe through a blog update. We have seen our kids really step out of their comfort zones and lean into having conversations with our Dominican friends - learning more about their stories and, for some, really pushing themselves to learn Spanish. In the midst of this our devotional times in the morning and evenings have been fantastic. Great conversation that we pray will really invade hearts and provide a lasting transformation that only the spirit can do. Last night we had our last evening at Pico celebrated with s'mores and a campfire. We have had an absolutely wonderful and memorable time here at Pico. And I think some could say they really met and saw God on this mountain. So thankful for this place, for the people here that just seem to overflow with the joy and love of Christ but most of all for a God that meets us in our searching.
Today we spend packing, going on the big YL swing and have a short prayer walk around camp before we leave for our home stays in La Vega. Continue to pray for our spirit of willingness and for our memory of Spanish to encourages us as we go and see what Vida Joven is doing in the midst of the city. It will most definitely be an exciting time!
Remember that WiFi may be spotty during our homestay. So the next time you hear from us may be from our last day the resort or in the airport - essentially from where ever I can get WiFi. But now I have to run to go catch some screaming kids on the giant swing!
