The days here in Azua are long and hot and we don´t find much relief from the surroundings we are in. It is hard to believe I have only been out of the states for 3 weeks but somehow God keeps me going. I have seen things here that I will never forget although some of the memories I want to. The children here really are the thing that gets me up in the morning and makes this all seem worth it. They seem to soak up every smile we give them and cherish every hello we speak to them. Teaching english has not been easy, most of these kids are not disciplined at all so sometimes it seems like we just cant get through to them. Thank God for patience and the constant encouragement from my teammates.
Yesterday we were able to have a day off and go to the local beach. It was beautiful and really refreshing to see a different part of the island. It is a constant 90 something degrees all of the time here so it was so nice to swim in the ocean and cool off. Today was back to school and teaching the kids. It was pretty hectic this morning because we had a lot more kids than usual.
God is really providing for us here. Although we are tired, dirty, and sometimes sick and hungry it is so amaizing to see our prayers answered. We are truly giving everything in us to serve theese people and to please God and he is blessing us in more ways than you can imagine. I have never been more gratefull for things that I have back home. I am so truly blessed with amaizing friends and family. Your thoughts and prayers are needed more than you know. We only have 4 more full days here in Azua and then we will go meet the rest of our World Race squad in Santo Domingo and head to Haiti on the 28th of this month. I look forward to filling you in on the last stretch of our journey soon…. Hasta Luego,
Anna
