The 2009 Dominican Republic Mission Team is half-way through this year’s mission trip.
Here are a few observations of the trip so far:
We were blessed with a smooth journey.
Our accommodations are comfortable.
Meals have been outstanding.Father Hipólito looks great and seems in very good spirits.
The road to Cristo Salvador has been re-surfaced! (Miracle???) But, don't worry, the van ride is still pretty crowded!
Dominican friends welcomed us warmly and send greetings to the people of St. Anne’s, especially those who have been to Santiago in years past – and most especially to Padre Jim!
The weather has been warm but not horrible, no rain at all.
Did I mention that the food has been wonderful?
Little kids look so cute in Moses and Pharaoh headbands and bandannas!
It’s been fun to have guitar players in our group and sing during our evening meetings.
VBS has been mentioned as both high points and low points of the day in our evening meetings. We learn so much every year about how to manage the flow of that short, intense time with the kids. (Father Hipólito makes a great Jonah... no pictures of that, though!)
Lazaro is a terrific host!
Helados Bon makes delicious ice cream.We got to meet Lazaro's son! Here he is with his grandfather Victor.
St. Anne’s has given this team great support!Thanks!
We'll have more pictures available soon!
