Today, It's all physical labor - unless we get done early we may get to go to market. We will be doing landscaping, painting parking lot, making parking chains, and finishing last room on the fifth floor.
It is very hot, but we get to wear shorts. Yeah!! Santo Domingo. Beautiful country driving up to farming area - mostly rice fields but also fruit groves.
Again, we held a VBS for what turned out to be about 120 children (no English). We were told it would be about 60, but as word gets out the families keep coming. The children were all very excited.
Our team sang songs, acted out a bible story then did many crafts - Pin wheels, face painting and balloon animals. By now we could pretty much run a carnival. This was a very poor village so the children were very grateful for these simple things and it is a great joy to see their excitement of coloring and balloons. The church did not even have crayons for the kids, we left all of ours plus bubbles which was well received by the head teacher. We are going through clothes quite quickly (did we tell you it was hot!).
We will try and post pictures tonight.
Steve and Team
