It’s the final day of our stay in San Juan, and I’m sitting on my sleeping pad going over all the wonderful memories of my time in the Dominican Republic. This month has been filled with memories of both young and old laughing, singing praises to the Most High, and simply loving those around me.
This month we have been able to minister to the elderly in the nursing home, and our final day, (this past Tuesday) we were able to distribute bibles to not only some of the members of the nursing home, but also the staff. It was exciting to see them express interest in having their own personal bible. 
So what have I learned in my first month on the World Race? Lol, well for one I have a lot to learn. And I’m ok with that because God is always in control even when I can’t see two feet in front of me. Plus, I can’t even explain how much weve been blessed by some of the people here in San Juan. We came here to bless others and in the process ,I was touched…It truly is better to give than receive.
On other note…a huge area in my life I know God wants to break is my ability to vulnerable. Which right now is at about .05%…but I have an awesome team of girls that will hold me accountable to grow into the person God has called me to be no matter how hard it will be. Our God is great and even in the most uncomfortable, not so pretty, hot and sticky, and then some moments, I have peace knowing I have a relationship with the God who created the entire world. Smile. 
When the electricity and water are never on at the same time.
In a city like San Juan, I guess I would assume they’d have some sort of gang activity, but I never would have thought they’d be of the canine persuasion.
Bucket showers (Fill bucket with water, soap up, pour bucket over your head, repeat if necessary).
We also have bucket flushes…but I really dont’ feel the need to explain what that’s about.
Scooters are the main form of transportation. Even for a family of 7…all on one scooter.
