God is so good!

We have had a wonderful start to our work here in the Dominican. We are blessed with an overcast day and a fabulous breeze. The work began this morning after a short devotional time and all the crews have fdound a wonderful rhythm to move them throught their varied tasks. We have moved wooden pillars from one sight to another, tiles and sand to the rooftop of Tim and Samira's home, unloaded 100 lb bags of concrete, ate a delicious lunch, and had an incredible time of fellowship during our first siesta of the week. The Dominican's and G.O. Staff we have had the pleasure of meeting at this point are warm and welcoming. I feel as if they have been a part of my life for more than just a brief morning. God is certainly at work in this place. The passion of our brothers and sisters in Christ is uninhibited and, therefore, quite infectious. Dios le bendiga, Jennie

My prayers are with you all and truly miss working next to you this week. I can't wait to hear how you blessed those around you and how you were blessed by the joyful Dominicans, Haitians and the missionaries you are seving with.

May the Lord's presence be felt by all, those in the DR and those praying for you here. In all things, we give thanks!
