Day 5 started super duper early. For some of us, it started the day before since they pulled an all nighter. The crew got up at 2:30AM and were ready by 3. The all nighter crew so generously brought us coffee from a 24 hour coffee shop down the street (thanks for providing that, God)….
Monday! Our last full day here!! So, so sad. This day was packed full of activities and it went by so fast. When we woke up, we went down to chapel to have our last devotion with Mike. Again, we talked about the story of the Good Samaritan. This time, we talked about excuses. Excuses…
Once again, we woke up with the crows of the roosters. The first thing we did on today’s schedule was drive 45 minutes to Santo Domingo. Personally, I love the drives and think that many people agree. It’s not everyday that you get to drive along the coast and look at the ocean in a…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOLLY!! This morning we walked to a church down the street and attended service. While most of us couldn’t understand what the pastor was saying, the presence of the Holy Spirit was felt throughout the worship and message. Some of us even recognized the worship songs and were able to sing along in…
When the alarm went off on day 6, we all felt pretty rested when we woke up. We didn’t have to be up too early, which was super nice. We gathered all our shower stuff and headed to the YMCA to workout and shower and get ready for church. Bogle and I ran down to…
We had such a fun morning! Around 9:00 we traveled to the headquarters of the San Francisco Giants’ Latin American operations, Felipe Alou Baseball Academy. The facility was one of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen! The competition was a little harder today as they added some Dominican National players to their team, but we…
“Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.” Psalm 96:2-3 Pasitos de Jesus: a girls orphanage home where lives are restored, love is found, and dreams are made. Read the story of how the orphanage started before you continue…
This morning, we held a softball clinic in Boco Chica. We’ve put on many camps before but I think we can all agree that this one was our favorite. We had about 25 girls from a variety of ages and skill levels and even more people from the community came to watch. Today was probably…
Today was a great day for us in San Diego! When we woke up, we went down to the chapel and talked with Mike, our leader, about Luke 10, the parable of the Good Samaritan. We discussed this passage and talked about the many different angles that this story can have. We discussed the helplessness…
After lunch we had about an hour to rest, play cards, and make bracelets. We’re planning on handing out bracelets to kids at the handicap orphanage on Monday, so we’ve been making them all week. We then endured Santo Domingo traffic and headed to O & M College once more to play a game. We…
