Saturday

Saturday, March 2

The team was packed and left the hotel for their last Pablo/Ruth breakfast at 7:30 at the Casa. After last-minute packing, good-bye's, and the obligatory team photo the team headed for the Capital. In Santo Domingo they made a quick stop at the International Market to barter for gifts and then 30 minutes in an area of the Colonial District marveling at the history (1511) and architecture.

Always a bit chaotic, but traveling home was otherwise thankfully uneventful where the team had a final prayer and hugs prior to meeting family in the Appleton airport.

A final report will be upcoming in the next few days. This epilogue will give an overview of the entire week's activity to include a review of our expenditures and donations.

Until then, a few notes regarding this blog. Due primarily to limited time availability, the writer has scaled down the daily blogs. I have also left out many details that while they may give a more expanded view of our day, would possibly appear to sensationalize. We see and do things that are difficult to detail in perspective and I suggest asking a team member for their individual experiences.

Individual actions have also been limited in the blog this year. We did have some illness (to include a 1 day hospitalization) and spiritual attacks so we asked for general prayer instead for privacy reasons. Not mentioning names involved with our daily endeavors was reduced from years past as every member of the team is of equal value and so as not to appear to elevate anyone above another; all have spiritual gifts and all used them for God's glory.
