Teresa Roth.... Our trip started off at 1am when we met at the church in Upper Sandusky to leave for Detroit. Once we arrived at the airport, the employees were very helpful with getting the luggage tagged and loaded for the plane. The flights to the Domonican went smoothly. After we arrived in country, we had a bit of an adventure going through customs, getting our visitor cards and getting the luggage loaded. God really put the people we needed in the exact places we needed them.
We are very blessed to be here and to have the opportunity to serve. The people are very nice and the scenery is beautiful!! Abi and I have never flown before or be on a missions trip. The Lord really showed me how small the world is. On our first flight to Miami, Abi and I were seated close to each other, but on opposite sides of the plane. Abi was a little scared about flying since she is afraid of heights. God placed a wonderful lady right beside her who talked to her and kept her engaged throughout the entire flight. After we landed and before leaving the plane, I found out I knew this lady. Her son is a doctor at the physicians office where I work and I had seen her entering the office to visit him. We are very excited to see what is in store for us today.
Carolyn Kelley... After no sleep, we made it through. We had a great 4 hour bus ride to Barahona arriving at 10pm. After a very large meal we went to bed. We were up at 7am, were provided a great breakfast and will be working at the church digging trenches 3 ft deep... be praying for me and my back..Adios!
We will post pictures and write more later, so check back!!
