Friday was spent in the sun and surf. We took a boat ride out to the absolutely gorgeous uninhabited Catalina Island. Several yards off shore we anchored and jumped overboard to do some snorkeling in the clear Caribbean waters. Most of us braved jumping over and over again from the second level of the boat [...]
We got to spend most our day with two very different groups of kids. In the morning we went to a sugarcane village. The kids came streaming out of the houses as our buses drove down the narrow dirt roads. Each of us had at least a couple kids hanging on at every moment we [...]
Greetings from the DR! We apologize to any parents and friends who have been checking for updates throughout the week. The person who normally posts it has been ill and no other team has posted anything either. Anyway, our week has gone amazingly well. We have been to three villages, two orphanages and have been [...]
Today we returned to Casa De Luz and continued the work we had begun yesterday. A few stories from the day:
Some of us worked on finishing the kitchen. We painted the ceiling and the walls, but despite our efforts, the old paint on the ceiling kept peeling. It was really hot and swarms of flies [...]

The bags consisted of a 5 pound bag of rice, 4 pounds of beans, a package of chicken broth flavor, salt and some Dominican coffee. We then took it to a village and shared with the children songs, testimonies from both Matt [...]
Where do I begin. I apologize for taking so long to update you all. So much has happened. First, there was our Friday night devotions that turned into a powerful time in God’s presence. We praised, we worshiped, we prayed, we cried, we shared what God was doing in our lives during the trip so [...]
Day 5
Today, we woke up early and left at 7 AM to head out on a long bus ride to the Punta Leona resort. On the way, we stopped at a bridge where our guide Raymond told us to beware of the crocodiles and their capacity to bite off the toes of unsuspecting tourists. [...]

Day five seems almost over, but we still have a lot to do. Today we got to do some zip-lining around the rain forests of Costa Rica. Amazing.
This afternoon we purchased food for a homeless shelter and after dinner we will be preparing food and then helping distribute the food. If I [...]
