1. We helped my friend Rafelina at her Bible club and had a great time with the kids there!
2. During our days off our team had time to relax and catch up on the work that needed to be done.
3. We had a great week with the groups from Florida and Iowa.
4. God kept us all healthy and gave us strength to complete the chapel and an additional roof project.
5. God blessed our ministry throughout the week. We did ministry in various places like San Felipe, Hatillo, and a church in Boca Chica.

One of my favorite memories last week was going to a chapel in Boca Chica with the group from Lake Baldwin church in Florida. Some members of that group had built the chapel a few years ago. It was dedicated to a friend of theirs who had cancer. They found out the night before they built the chapel that he passed away. He was just 13. What was so incredible was to see how many young boys were there worshipping in that chapel. It was a sweet moment for the group to remember their friend that had died and to joyfully sings songs to God.

Prayer requests:
1. This is our last week of groups. We have one from Wisconsin and one from Pennsylvania. Pray that God would work in their hearts and that He would be glorified this week.
2. Pray for the tropical storm that is supposed to hit here soon. That God would protect those that do not have sufficient shelter here in the DR.
3. Pray for this last week as we say goodbye to the lovely people here. That God would give us all perseverance to the end. That we would trust in Him for the future.| With old interns and new interns. Having a coke break between work. |
