HACE CALOR AQUI EN REPUBLICA DOMINCANA

Hola Amigos! Hi everyone. Soy Erin (It´s Erin). It is hot here in the Dominican, but what beats the heat is the smiles all the kids share with you because they know that you are here to share the good news and play either baseball or basketball. We went to two batey´s today Los Robles and Algodon where many of the Haitian refugees live. When we all got off the bus we were greeted by children of all ages who took us by the hands or jumped on us like human jungle gyms. They love visitors. We toured their village visiting the schools, families, and many of the villages have a playground, which is usually the baseball field. I met Enicia (13 yrs) very bright girl who loves to learn. She said Bible class is her favorite. She is one of 5 children in her family. The joy these children carry on their faces is amazing. This experience already has opened my eyes to how God can use each one of us for his glory. I am excited to build deeper relationships with many of the children as we teach basketball, and provide other recreational games. Thank you for you prayers. Everyone is healthy and happy. Peace be with you all. Me voy a la picina para nadar. (I am going to go for a swim.) Hasta luego! Abrazos para todos Amigos ( hugs for you all)
