The Lord Brings Joy

God has been doing many things here in Santo Domingo and He is in control.
Here are some praises:
1. Last week we built two chapels. My group built a chapel in a neighborhood in the mountains called Pica Pica. My favorite part was the end when we had a ceremony with the Pastor and we prayed and dedicated the chapel to God.
2. God has enabled me to build some great friendships here! I feel like the interns and TIME staff are like my second family and I have enjoyed getting to know the groups that have come. Last week the ladies were so sweet and they left many things for the interns to keep like: bugspray, medicine, and clothes and they kept saying "you might need this sometime this summer." I felt very thankful to them!
3. Last week I went to a doctor named Dr. Fabion and he gave me medicine for my mouth and my leg because I had an allergic reaction to a bug bite. This week a stomach virus has been going around and many people, including me, got very sick. Tuesday night was tough. I have been taking it easy since then, and Praise God I am getting better quickly! Please pray for a continued recovery.

Prayer Requests:
1. That we would be able to eliminate the virus from spreading to any more people. For energy and good health among our team.
2. The group I am working with from Providence Church in Ohio is building their chapel tomorrow. Please pray that all the logistics would go well and that God would be in control.
3. Please pray for continued unity among the team, that we could be patient with each other and spur each other on towards Christ.

Hopefully I will get to post pictures next week! And I hope that everyone is doing well!
In His Love,
Marjorie
