Day 5!

This week seems to have gone by very slow!!! This is a good thing! This place, this city, Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic is very quickly becoming my home, I love it here and the people here are amazing. It has been great this week seeing the city and getting to know our way around the town and our sites and I cant wait to dive into it on Teusday. I am kinda bumbed that it is a four day weekend here and that I cant go back to work on Monday. This would never be the case back home in Cali lol!

As for today, Josh and Vicki took us up to the Upper Falls, one that I have not been to before in previous outreaches. We drove up the mountain again in the bed of the truck, love it, to where we needed to start our hike. We climbed down the mountain, into this beutifull canyon like place where if you looked you were surrounded by walls of tree and vine covered rock, seriously something out of a movie! We had lunch here and talked a little about what we were going to be doing with this next outreach comming through. Can I just tell you I am really excited to have them come! I know what God can do in this place and I want everyone to experience it for themselves.

So once you go down a mountain you eventually have to go back up it... not one of my favorite things to do but I am proud to say that I made it! (with a little stop and go lol) We will see if I do it again though might need to walk up and down our little hill behind the base a few more times.  You deffinatly know that it is Saturday when you can take a nap which was the first thing I did when I got back from that!

I am reading this book that a great friend of mine gave me "An Invitation to a Journey" and one thing that I have gotten from it today is that in order to be doing the work that God is calling you to do you have to be being in Him, in a relationship with Him. The book puts it better and I had never thought of it in the way the auther explained it. So I want to be compleatly being before I do and that is going to be a goal of mine for the next several months here in the DR. Listening and letting Him take compleat control.

Tonight was so much fun!! After dinner we went over to Josh and Vicki's, Jeff drove lol, and we played a few games. I love hanging out with them here they are to fun!
