The Dominican Republic: Day 2

The next morning, the missionaries, Kathy and Joe, took us to their church. This one was in English.

There’s the church. It started raining while we were there, so the ride home in the truck was very wet!

After church and lunch, we drove to their health center to sort all of the supplies everyone brought. The kids at our church’s VBS brought in tons of supplies for us to take. We brought so many suitcases!

When we got back to the hotel, we met as a team and planned out what songs we were going to sing at the villages we were going to visit during the week. We even put together a puppet show of the Zacchaeus story!

One of the songs we did was the Psalm 3:5-6 song I learned in VBS years ago. Thanks, Mrs. W! :)

After dinner, I went on a walk on the beach with Annie, one of the girls on the team. She’s the one in the yellow shirt in the photo. We got to know each other and had a few laughs. Then Joel, Annie, her sister Katie, Nin, and I sat by the pool and talked some more. I am so glad that there were girls my age on the trip! We became fast friends.
