I am back! Lets start at the beginning…

 

I am back!! I have missed blogging!

    As most of you know I went on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic this spring break… so the next few posts may be about the trip Winking smile  I am sure you wont mind, especially after you see the faces of all the children!

     There are so many things that I saw and experienced on this trip I don’t even know where to start!

Well I guess the beginning is always a good place… So we had a two flights one from ATL to MIA then from MIA to Santo Domingo. I got the window seat when we were flying from Miami! So this is what it looks like from the clouds! Every time that I fly I am amazed and in awe of how big our world is… It is not something that we thing about when we are in our daily routines, I know that I didn’t stop and think of the people that are all over the world and how big our world really is.

Flying puts it into perspective of how small we all really are.

This is the amazing scenery that we drove through to get to Blanco Arriba every day… Rolling mountains with the most beautiful blue sky that I think I have ever seen! With perfect white puffy clouds meeting the tops of mountains. The Dominican Republic is the most colorful and green country that I have seen so far. (I have been to three countries…haha) But really God amazes me at his creativity and artistic design!

At the moment I do not have my camera with pictures of the kids. I should be getting it back within the next few days, when I get it back you will be sure to see many pictures and stories of the amazing people that touched my heart. Until then here is the only picture I have of me with a child.

What did you do for spring break?

Did you waste your time doing nothing?

God calls us to be missionaries whether that is at your home, school, church, or another country.

What are you going to do to make a difference?
