One small change...our Delta Flight was cancelled and they didn't tell us, so we are departing on June 13th instead of the 12th. Part of the group will return on the 19th and the rest on the 22nd.
We'll update our blog each day (as we are able to get internet service) to share photos and stories of our days in the DR. Different people will write and will tell the story from their perspective and we welcome your comments and questions. One of us will answer questions as we are able.
Please keep us and our work in your prayers. We also want to thank you all for your support of our mission trip, know that our hope is that this blog will help you come with us on this trip...so that next time you might pack a bag and come with us.

Preparing for a new adventure! We're glad so many of you are able to participate in this experience of service.
ReplyDeleteWhen Father Peter and I were Peace Corps Volunteers in Dominica (the other Caribbean island south of where you'll be) a friend wrote "God is always calling us into areas where we feel uncomfortable. If we are comfortable, it's a sign we are not being obedient."
May your DR adventure be filled with joy, new connections and enough "uncomfort" to catalyze reflection and new growth.
Alan, Thanks for your comments. I am having lots of wonderful Peace Corps/Caribbean memories come up, and of course, you were a big part of that experience that we shared together. Our group is coming together well. I had some fried plantains last night, and introduced them to Hannah. Peace to you and your family. Peter
