Orientation Week

This morning we listened to the song "You're the God of this City" and it reminded me how God is working in Santo Domingo. He did some great things this first week and I am excited about what is to come. This week we explored the city, went to the beach, learned communication and servant leader skills, and talked about the Sovereignty of God as well as other things. Today we took apart an old chapel in a neighborhood called Hatillo so that a playground can be put in its place. We saved the pieces of the chapel so that we can build it again in a different location nearby. Working hard felt wonderful and it was nice to get the job done. Also, I learned new drilling skills.:) With God's help we got it done.

Praises-
1. Everyone is healthy and we have kept safe as we explore the city
2. God has helped me to trust in Him more. We had one incident where we thought a team member was lost for a period of time, but luckily we found them and God helped me to be at peace.

Prayers-
1. That the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart would be pleasing to God.
2. For our team to be prepared for the first group that is coming to work next week from a church in Orlando.
