today we started our day off taking a tour of the G.O. school led by lisa an american missionay. It was really interesting to see the school and all the progress G.O. has made creating the school.
we toured most of the class rooms but we stoped and talked in the computer lab/ library. It was really interesing for our group to see the progress in the computer lab because Gerry taylor a past member of the dr trip group donated the computers in the lab and it was nice to see that our group has actually made a difference in the dominican. then afterwrds we all kinda spread out throughout the school and peeked into the class rooms and I saw winnifer, landon,zoe,and my G.O. kid chrisjeily. I was really happy to see my G.O. kid she ran up to me and gave me a hug and that made me really happy. then after our school tour Will lead us throught the ally that bienvo used to live in and it was really reliving that they moved to there new nice house and on the way there we met bienvo's sister . she was a really nice lady. then we stopped at the batia field and will explained t us about the tornament going on. then we went backed to the worksite and started working. Aunt nina, christie, Mrs.Wonsetler,Ian,Lucas, MR. Newman ,My mom, and I starting mixing cement and then Tim(samera's husband) took the wheelbarrows full of cement and poured them into the soon to be new bathroom. Once that was done it was about time for lunch but we still had a little time left so we went back to the central church(our dorms) and i helped mrs.Newman and Mrs.walz stain peices of wood for the tables. then it was off to lunch. AFter lunch mrs.walz and lucas showed us the crafts for vbs on saturday and then mrs. detweiler and elliot explained to us the story for vbs on saturday and once we understood we practiced acting it out. Mrs partin was sarah (abrams wife) mr. partin was abrahm and elliot was issac and i was a sheep lucas was a donkey ian was a cow jack, harrison and mrs. wonsetler were the shepards/servants. It was prety funny and afterwards we were back to work that was fun we took logs off the roof and passed them down and we dug a trench about twenty feet long four feet wide and eight inches deep that was hard and in the blazing sun, and if I had to give the hardest worker award I would definitly give it too eliott fowler . man he works hard i mean he worked 100% till the very end. so that was our day in the dominican :D:D:D:D:D:D
