Birthday Weekend


It’s been a few weeks since I’ve shared what’s happening here in the Dominican Republic, so I thought I’d share some pictures from my ministry site and my birthday weekend when  my mom came and surprised me. Pictures can show and explain more than words!

The teacher I help, Carolina, and some of the precious little ones I get to spend time with at my site.
 

Julia, a student from Lift who spent two weeks with us, and I reviewing the alphabet with the students
 
  My mom’s favorite part of her day at my ministry site: seeing the kids sit on “half tires” in the ground and brush their teeth. Some of the boys made it a game by trying to spit their water through the fence and hit the chickens on the other side.

Fresh fruit and vegetable market in town
 
 
Picco Pollo- the “fast food” restaurant of the Dominican Republic. We always eat fried chicken strips with really good sweet and sour sauce and friend green bananas. So good!

My mom was only here for three days, but it was a great time catching up with her and letting her see my world!
