Well the trip is winding down. Tomorrow is our last day on the sites. We are all sad to go. But we praise God that we are all now feeling better. We had a bit of a scare with a bit of the girls being sick. Last night (Wednesday) was outreach night so we mushed with Bethel then split in half. With the first half going to El Caljone to do a prayer walk and the other half going to a volleyball tournament. I went to the volleyball tournament with Beth G and I as sound people, and Caitlin, Makensie, Brittany, and Karissa. On the way there we got stuck in election traffic. We also got stuck in election traffic yesterday morning on the way to our clinic sites. The Dominicans take their elections very seriously because once you lose you can’t run again. The election is on Sunday and churches are moving church to Saturday because of it.
One of the candidates for mayor came to the hospital yesterday for nurse’s day. There was a special mass. We came late to the mass because our prenatal check-ups were taking a bit long. Anyways, the candidate interrupted after the sermon to congratulate the nurses and that she left them a present in the back.(It was a TV for their break room) The Present was wrapped in brown paper then stuck with her sign for mayor. The election laws are very different here in the DR.
Well tomorrow will come to soon and we have been taking video of people’s thoughts so it is not just me saying things but we leave in just a day.
Prayer requests:
Continue health for the whole team
Guidance for those who are at the fork and they help to where to go for next year.
