DR Day 10!

Greetings from the Dominican Republic, It’s hard to believe that our time here is coming to a close. We have grown closer as a community and have learned so much about the people here that we have come alongside these past two weeks. I have been serving at the women’s social work site in La Joya. There I have been blessed to see the work that God is doing through Daisy, Noelia, and the other

DR Day 9!

Hey guys! I have been having so much fun at the volleyball site this last week. It’s crazy to think that we only have a few days left here. In the mornings we go to the nearby school to help out with their P.E. classes. We all love playing with the kids, even though most of the 12-year-olds are better at volleyball than we are.

It was so amazing how I realized that these families truly do live

DR Day 5!

The Dominican Republic has been amazing. I was placed in the baseball site where 6 of my Joshua brothers and I get our butts handed to us by a bunch of 10-15 year olds. And honestly it’s a blast. We help them to practice whether that’s in the cages or on the field. At the end of the day one of us has the opportunity to lead a devotional while our site leader translates for
