Hey, and my apologies for those of you who checked in with us last night! We got in very late last night, and by the time we got through unloading and devotion time none of us really felt like blogging...
Yesterday, after a quick wakeup call, we had a quick breakfast and headed for the Christian school in Puerto Plata. The bumpy ride into town was very scenic, and we caught the sunrise off to our left over the mountains. Once we arrived at the Christian school, we were met by hundreds of kids playing in the adjacent basketball court ready to have some fun. Our seniors jumped right in setting up tons of things for our new friends to do. We had games all over! Jump roping, baseball, beautiful chalk art, basketball games, and kids all over playing with some of the 400 tennis balls that were donated to us. After that we were able to present a chapel program, involving two skits, the Tennis Skit and the Movie Skit, Donny sang a few songs, and Jason presented a great message of salvation along with our wonderful tour guide Michael Giglio who translated. Later most of our girls played in a very competitive basketball game against one of the local schools teams. Let me tell you, our fans were loud and spirited and our girls pulled through to win an amazingly tough game (let's just say Brooke was up against a giant just as David had been)...It was a challenge!!
For dinner we ate at a cool little burger shack and enjoyed exploring the coast and a beautiful port the rest of the night!!
SEE YA SOON!!
Overall IT WAS A GREAT DAY!!!
AND WE ARE READY FOR A NEW ONE TODAY!! ADIOS!!!
