Hey guys! It’s been a crazy week of trying to readjust to California time. I have slept way too much and have studied way too little. It’s all good though I’m not stressed… Anyways it has been a smooth transition back into the building and I’m just excited that we’re back to a normal schedule and I’m not as sick as I was in the Dominican Republic! I’ve been enjoying my Dominican coffee and hanging

Hello Everybody! It’s back to normal life in the Joshua building! Everyone is settling back into the routine and it is a great time to be a Joshua student, save for a little jet lag. It was interesting to see just how many people were on time for breakfast given everyone was awake at about 5:30 in the morning, 9:30 A.M. Dominican Republic (DR) time. This week we have PJ Lewis as a speaker! So

Alex January 31 2020 What’s up Joshua blog readers it’s Alex here and for my site at the DR I am at the special education site. This trip has not only shown me the beauty of the Caribbean and the jungle but the beauty of the people. Every where you go there is always a smile and hello or a kiss on the cheek. The food has been AMAZING! One of the things we do

What is up USA ????????????????! We are starting to come to a close on our time here in the DR and it is bitter sweet. Sad to say goodbye to the people here, while also excited to see the people back home. I am in the education site called “Los Higos”.  We work with kids from the ages of 2-4. It is such a amazing privilege to see the love of Christ getting shown to

Wednesday, January 29th !Hola, hola, hola mis amigos! I am so beyond blessed to be updating you on our experiences in the Dominican Republic. I have had the absolute joy and privilege to be working at the women’s social work site in El Callejon. Two others and myself get to work alongside Yinet and Shania, two absolutely wonderful ladies!

Tuesday, January 28th DR day 8! Today was Beautiful and hot in Jarabacoa (which means high humidity), and it was a great day with my site leaders.  I’m part of the community health group which means that we are coming along side individuals within the community as well as local: hospitals, clinics, and schools in order to provide support, supplies, and education when it comes to health care.  Today we headed over to one of

Monday, January 27th 70°f – 50°f No rain Partly cloudy ¡holá! Good to have you back on good ole Monday. In America, Monday’s are not always looked forward to. It is a day that drags and it seems like it won’t end any time soon. In the Dominican Republic on the other hand, Monday’s are just a continued rest day. We started the day off with our devotionals, continuing in Hebrews 11, looking at the

The students are super tired so I’m just gonna give you guys a quick update along with a short video and the students can fill you in with the details tomorrow.

Friday blog! What’s up friends and fam. It’s Julia writing to you today. I am currently sitting outside and it is 8:26 pm. We have Ben, Connor, Jacob, Drew, Christian, Addy, Grace, Tiff, and I playing a game of baseball around a picnic table with a broom stick. Things couldn’t be any better. Tiff just got hit in the face, but all is good because the ball is simply a bundle of cloth! Ben just
