We have arrived......

We were a little time getting going with our blog, our appologies to you who tried yesterday to find a new entry in our blog. Our delays were of a technical nature.Yesterday we had power, but no internet connection. Today we had an internet connection but no power in our room. The power comes and goes here.
Yesterday was the first day we reunited in the D.R.
This pictures shows you the Dominican from the air.

After a good breakfast we were off at six thirty o'clock this morning. For one thing to beat the heat and for another to see first hand what the project would look like. And this is what we found. The first row of blocks plus the corners were up .

The picture beside it shows you the view from the pastor's back window. As you can see in the next picture, we actually worked today. We were back home in Santo Domingo again at about 4:30. It got pretty hot at the site this afternoon. So we drank lots of water. We are all doing well. Tomorrow morning same thing again.Get up at six, have breakfast, and pile in the big van.
But that will be for another day.
So we will try to update as often as we can, not as often as we might like.
Your D.R. Team

Great to hear that you all made it safe and sound! You are in our thoughts and prayers. Try to keep cool and drink lots of water.

We are thankful everyone is healthy and well, able to work. It does not sound like a vacation to me, get up early, work hard and all that in that heat.
Hope you have a great day tomorrow and we continue to pray for all of you.

Oh, how the memories come flooding back from our missions trip to Africa, we were using the same blocks to build our walls, we were up at 5 to beat the heat and done on the site by 3:30 for it was far too hot after that. Make sure to drink lots and eat lots of food too! Oh yeah and take lots of pictures and souviners home! We are both praying for you all, that the Lord will really bring you to a more personal walk with Him! Take Care and Have Fun!
Love in Him, Jordan and Dianna Spangler
