We had a late start this morning with an 8:30 breakfast. We left the hotel at 9:30 for the
school to paint. Two group members continued to paint the murals while everyone
else went across the street to the new pre-school, that is still under
construction, where we painted the second floor landing. Vicki is drawing a
mural on the second floor hallway. We will post pictures of it tomorrow, but it
says ¨I am the vine, you are the branches¨ and has a large grape vine and
leaves. Others were repairing murals on
the first floor. At 12:30 we returned to the hotel to a lunch that consisted of
chicken noodle soup, ham and cheese sandwiches, and Cesar Salad. After lunch we
drove through several country bateys, past several sugar cane fields, and drove
through Barahona´s open market. We are just finishing up at the school and will
be returning to the hotel for supper and a shower. I am extremely happy and
proud how everyone has gotten along and how great the young people have been
throughout this mission trip. God is good.

Poor Sydney was so tired, she could not stay awake for evening devotions.
