In about an hour we are leaving La Romana and heading to Barcelo Capella in Juan Dilio - a nice resort by Santa Domingo. We are all interested to experience a different culture of the DR, but still a little hesitant. It is hard to justify going to a resort for our day off after being emersed in such poverty and meeting such beautiful, humble people. Our leaders from HOPE international told us to get rid of the guilt that is building up in our hearts and use the time to get rejuvenated and to reflect before returning home to NWC. So, let's throw our our guilt, be happy for the memories made, the people met, the lessons learned and be free to enjoy God's beautiful beach! Please be praying for us that we will be mindful of our time to reflect and deeply think about the lessons God has taught us and the changes He wants to make in our lives and in our hearts.
Please also pray for healing on our team. Many of us are sick with colds, sore throats, the runs, and nausea. Pray that the sick can find rest this weekend and find strength in God.
