A month in Las Lagunas, Dominican Republic:
Hiked up a nearby mountain every morning to watch the sun come up and worship/pray. Psalm 119:147 “I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word.”
Took an hour off road ride in the back of a truck through the mountains than hiked two hours to an amazing waterfall for Dania’s birthday.
Preached a sermon with a translator.
Got an amazing vision from God that gave me just a taste of the love that he has for me.
Led worship in Spanish for the first time.
Learning to love my team more and more.
Learning to ask God everyday what I’m supposed to do.
Swam in a random lake that looked dirty from the outside, but when you got in….. MAGNIFICO!
Taught guitar classes with very limited Spanish.
Ate lots of Rice and Beans. Soo Gooood!!
Took bucket showers and went to the bathroom in the squatty potty.
Slept in my tent for a month.
Took some baths in a river and got swept down stream in the rapids.
Gained two new sets of Grandparents and many new friends.
Falling more and more in love with Jesus.
Played with kids until my legs fell off.
Had no alone time unless I woke up before everyone.
Jumped on a random horse in a field with a really spiny back just about wasn’t able to ever have kids
This whole month has been so surreal and yet so normal. I feel like this is what I was born to do. I love this pursuit of the heart of God, to seek out the beauty of who he is. It’s the Great Adventure! The Great Romance!
