I arrived in Austin a week ago on Thursday the 12th. Having a time to reflect about all the things that happened this summer and time to relax with my family has been really nice. Although, I definitely miss the friends I made in the Dominican Republic that feel like family now.
Here are some praises about my last week and a half:
1. I enjoyed getting to know the group from Cape Cod, we played an excellent card game called Capitalism during our free time.
2. God gave me strength on foundation day. I was able to mix cement and we finished the entire foundation by 4pm. The weather was hot, but there was no rain, which was perfect for building the foundation of the chapel. I got to meet some sweet children that day, including a little girl named Marjorie.
3. God enabled us to complete the chapel on Saturday with no problems. The people in the neighborhood La Luz were very grateful.
4. God allowed the interns to have some special times together, we had a final dinner with all the staff and it was a wonderful to celebrate all that God did this summer.
5. All the interns went to a resort to have our summer debriefing. We had some excellent discussions and we got to have worship on the beach. It was lovely!

I am going to miss a lot of things about being in the Dominican Republic, but the thing I am going to miss the most is the people. Luckily, I know that I will see the friends I made in Heaven. It's a blessing to know that! Hopefully, someday I will get to return, but it's all in God's hands.
