It was supposed to start at 5 o'clock, but like everything else around here,
nothing really happened until about six. Everyone was dressed in their Sunday best, mostly black and white. Our supper was at seven as well. We had our supper at six, and the bride didn't get out of the car until after we were done with supper.
As you can see on the left, Flat Stanley has made it to the D.R. as well. We were happy to meet him. So were the local kids here. Herman wasn't as excited about the whole ordeal. He was just having a little siesta.And for those of you that requested a picture of Hans in action, here it is. In this picture you can see him pouring "
concreto" in the forms that will form the collumns on which the roof is going to rest. We hope to do that on Tuesday. Tomorrow, Monday, we hope to visit with Leona , April and Jeff at Jarabacoa. It will be about a two and a half hour drive. We shall bring greetings from PEI as well. 
This is the church where we worshipped this morning. It is located at the batey(village where the cane cutters stay).The house we are building is located in this neighbourhood. It will be the house of the minister that preached to us this morning. The service was quite exciting. It was loud,
but it came from the heart. They sang a lot and then we did a few songs as well. We all had fun for about three hours. It was mostly the same people that we worked with all week. The picture on the right shows the inside.In the evening we went to the local C.R.C. Church here in Santo Domingo. It was quite a difference, a lot more money invested here. This service was good too, we were able to follow it a little better because the minister here switched back and forth from Spanish to English. It was a five minute walk away from here.
And now it is bedtime. So until we get online again, this is your team from the D.R.

Greetings D.R. team! Looks like you had a wonderful time of worship yesterday. We had a wonderful day of worship too. The first thing I noticed in church yesterday was a beautiful bouquet of tulips - thanks to VanN fam. We had a wonderful encouraging, hope- filled message from Rev. Jack Whytock. Best yet, we met a new family in church who is looking for a church home. Snow is on the way for Monday night (15cm). Kids are excited about that. Your in our prayers and may God grant good health and safety for you all. William & Rita & family.
Greetings from Ontario!
Joanne sent us the blog address last night, so this is our first chance to check it out. What an adventure! When I look at the pictures it reminds me of the pictures a team from Smithville here in Ontario has been showing around these parts. Do you have any idea if this is the same location they have worked on in the past, or do all the schools/churches/buildings look fairly similar from village to village?
Have a great time there, and God bless you and your work!

Hello all! I thought of you as Carlene and I walked to UPEI this morning in the -7 temperature. 15cm of snow is on the way. Keep up the great work!

Hello from Ontario! I hope that you are all having a wonderful time in the DR. We have a snow-day here at Redeemer today, and your warm weather sure looks nice! Enjoy the rest of your time there, and we're praying that you come home safely as well! May God bless the rest of your time there...
