For now anyway! It has been a crazy last 3-4 weeks. Honestly I'm not sure how long its been. We have just come through a span of time with 3 short term teams that all worked hard and kept us BUSY!!! On top of that there have been wedding plans to work out and every day life here as well. The summers here are FUN!
First off I would like to extend a big THANK YOU to all the short term teams that have been here recently!! The team from Nacogdoches worked incredibly hard out in Punta Cana and now the third floor sanctuary is almost complete! A couple days later we had a combined team from Puerto Rico and TN who put some final touches of paint in the sanctuary in Punta Cana and held marital conferences in Punta Cana and La Romana as well as held 4 VBS style afternoons for the children. Finally we had a youth group from Erie, IL come and paint a school, host 2 VBS afternoons and enjoy time with the youth here in the DR. They were all a great help! Here are some pics!

I have been able to keep making progress with the house furnishings as well...
 |
| I had a bookshelf made...sooner or later I'll have all my books here. |

| And then there is the ever growing Bo. He got his Rabies shot this morning:( |
Next on the list, are more short term teams heading this way. We have two teams from Broadway Christian Church heading down July 23rd and August 4th. And a ministry out of Louisville, KY called "Starfish" which provides school supplies and uniforms for some of the children in our churches here in the DR coming August 3rd. And then I'm off to Costa Rica to help with the final preparations for Jone and I's wedding in September!!!! Wish us luck on all that is on the way!!!!
