As i write this quick blog, my kids are enjoying siesta and rain is pouring down on our tin roof. It has been a crazy few days. Let's see the highlight reel.
So that I could cook dinner.
But we've made it!
We destroyed our American Home in the packing process.

Disaster area!
We packed as lightly as people headed to a third world country with four kids could.

Everything a family of 6 needs for 4 weeks on Mission in the Dominican?
To the Airport!
Thanks for the prayers. The plan ride went well. And I know that was all God.
We arrived at our Dominican home Safe and sound. They affectionately call it Dirty Thirty.
These are the After photos. We will post a before video via You tube.
The living room
Follow me down the hall.
Kid's Room is the first right.
These are our dressers.
I forgot to take photos of my room and the bath. But here's the kitchen.
Learning Curve.
So, thankful for the tools that Dad sent. Reece used them immediately.
So that I could cook dinner.
The First Supper.
We were all a bit.....
But we've made it!
I'll be trying to up-date as often as internet access allows. Subscribe to our blog to receive our link in your email.
We would like to thank you all for your prayers and support. We never could have done this with out you. We are settling in and getting right to work.
Reece is leading a construction team that is working on a medical center, and I have already met my neighbors. I'm looking for those Gospel sharing opportunities everywhere.
Keep those prayers coming, and stay tuned.
So proud of you guys!! I can't imagine how much good work will come out of what you all are doing. A medical center will keep on bestowing blessing upon these people long after it is finished, perhaps for many, many years. God is using you all mightily and it is a joy to see! Below are some lyrics from a song Joe and I wrote from a song called 'To The Work!'as it really fits what you all are doing. Take care.
ReplyDeleteTO THE WORK, TO THE WORK
NO WE NEVER MUST DELAY
TO THE WORK, TO THE WORK
GET BEHIND THE PLOW TODAY
TO THE WORK, TO THE WORK
WHILE IT IS STILL CALLED TODAY
TO THE WORK, TO THE WORK
AGAIN I SAY
THE FIELD ARE WAITING READY
MEN'S HEARTS ARE GETTING RIPE
THE STALKS OF WHEAT ARE GROWING
THE HARVEST IS IN SIGHT
DO NOT BE LONG IN GOING
YOU MUST BE SWIFT OF FEET
THE GOSPEL MESSAGE WE MUST BRING WITH SPEED
WHILE THE SUN IS SHINING
WE MUST BE HARD AT WORK
WE MUST TOIL ON AND ON
FOR JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD
NONE MUST BE FORGOTTEN
EVERYONE MUST HEAR
SPREAD THE GOSPEL SEED BOTH FAR AND NEAR
Oh my gosh you are an amazing woman. I can't leave my house with my four kids without near breakdown. God is so on your side for this. I love the pics of your dresser! My dressers are baskets, so I suppose if you move to the DR and we want to visit we will be prepared for that. I am praying for you guys and am so excited for you. I look forward to a date in 4 weeks to hear about your journey and growth! Love you guys! Jessica S.
