Here is an update from the Dominican Team:

We had a great day today after going to the Spanish speaking church Templo Biblico, where they so graciously welcomed us last night.
We started this morning with an excellent time of sharing and prayer before we left to start the house build. At 9:00 am we left the hotel and went to the house site, where the father of the family, Jesus, welcomed us with hugs all around. He sells bread for a living, and I have attached a picture of his “moto” with his baking goods. We worked very hard alongside the building crew, hauling bricks, mortar and cement, and cutting rebar to length. We broke for lunch and then proceeded to the Congrejo school. Here we helped prepare the new library for paint and various other small jobs. At recess Gordon and myself played with the kids – it was a lot of fun. Ronda, Tanya and Lena enjoyed doing art with the youngest class at the end of the day. We are all feeling tired, but revived in our spirits from the warm welcome we have received from all the local people.
