Buenos tardes! Our team had a busy day of camp today and I
loved every second. I was able to help Jeanette in her science station as we
taught the kids about the elements of flight through making some sweet paper
airplanes. It was the perfect visual for them to see how God lifts us up on
wings like eagles daily (Isaiah 40:31).
The oldest group we had today created some home-made fidget spinners and
let me tell you, those are a lot harder to make than they may seem haha. Before lunch time, a few of us had the
privilege of sharing our testimonies in front of all the kids. It was extremely
difficult for me to say goodbye to my new friends, but I can definitely say
they’ve taught me a lot in the short time I’ve been here with them. Their compassion, zeal for life, and all-around
enthusiasm for literally everything is contagious. We capped off the evening
with a relaxing trip to the beach and came home to a few Dominican pizzas which
were promptly devoured J
Sad to say that today is our last day in the DR, but I think we’re all ready to
come home (and eat some ice cream!)

We spent today hosting the second day of the camp. Both the team and the kids had a blast. I was a group leader today, so I got to
experience every station in the camp. The kids seemed to really enjoy each
station: bible lesson, science, and games.
It was exciting to see that the kids remembered the bible verse they had
learned two days ago. They also had a
lot of fun building paper airplanes and doing competitions to see whose could
fly farthest. They love competitions! Games were all about competing against
one another. After all the stations were completed, some of our group members
gave their testimonies. It was nice to
see how there are many aspects of how people can be brought to God. After that,
more competition! We started a large game of volleyball. Oh, how they got super
into that game! We then ate lunch with the kids. Once they all left, we got to
head to the beach. It was a great way to end our trip here in the DR. Prayers
for safe travels tomorrow. See you all soon!
