Safe and sound and already hard at work...Domincan Republic Team

We had an easy travel day yesterday, and arrived early enough to see the views as we drove to the TIME compound... neat experience for all of us...

Today we were up and at 'em at 6:00 a.m. and the guys mostly did cement work - mixing and pouring a floor by hand, while the rest of the team worked on building the parts for benches we will continue to work on tomorrow. We use templates and POWER TOOLS... saws, drills, a router... and some of us are definitely gifted in that area!

This afternoon, we went to an underground cavern called Tres Ojos and then tonight, went to a church about 40 minutes away and helped out with ministry there. We brought balloons and some of us (again, some are gifted in their abilities!) made various creations for the kids. They sing, pray, and have a lesson, and then we interacted with them a little. There is another team here from DM (Johnston E Free) and 3 of them played music at the beginning too ...

Tomorrow is more construction, and beach time in the afternoon, while in the early evening, we'll go to Cercadillo, the village where God has been working tremendously to bring people to Him... we're excited about going.

Thursday will be a long day - we are not BUILDING a new chapel, but we are MOVING one from one location to another about 30 meters away (because of a land dispute)... so we are taking it down and putting it back up in the same day... please be praying for us especially this day as we wake up at 4:00 and who knows when we'll be done!!! Thanks!

I'm going to try to upload to Snapfish instead of here and will publish a link if I can download some pics...

Peace to all - Sue for the team

You are all in my prayers. It certainly sounds as if you have a full week ahead of you.
