Today was a travel day. After a minor delay in Green Bay our flights were uneventful (just like we like). We got through customs in Santo Domingo by 9pm and were greeted by Dan, Paul and Nataniel. It was a bit of a challenge for 17 of us (with luggage) to board our rented mini-bus but we arrived safely in Azua shortly after 11pm and after unpacking and a quick meeting found our mattresses around midnight.
This year's trip will see some changes. Ricardo is with the Lord but Nataniel is back in the fold as our principal contact. Pablo and Ruth have come from Puerto Rico and Pablito and Dorcas are here for us also as they live in Azua. Our Wisconsin team consists of Dan, Paul, Jim, Eric, Shawn, Duane, Jaimee, Lance, Mark, Betsy, Hank and Laura. We were also joined in Miami by Sonia and Megan (a surprise for Jaimee).
Because of the size of our group we have rented a mini-bus for the week. It may not be as adventurous as riding in the back of a pickup but practicality and safety need to rule. We will also split up most days to keep everyone busy and be the most effective for His Kingdom. We are staying upstairs in a rented house with enough bed/bath rooms for the 14 of us to live quite comfortably (according to Azua standards).
God's Blessings Until Tomorrow
