Hi loved ones!

I am just letting you know that my team mates and i safely landed in the Dominican Republic this morning! We had lunch here and are walking around exploring. We are looking forward to this week here, learning about the people and the culture.  I hope you all had a great 4th of July. Thank you for all of your encouraging words, prayers, and financial support which made it possible for me to get here!!  It is hot and humid here!  Stay tunned and i will keep you updated on more of what we will be doing soon ministry wise! Let me tell ya…carrying your home on your back everywhere..80 plus pounds…is heavy yet freeing. It´s adventurous and very different. We all learning to adapt and adjust. It´ll be an amazing 11 months. Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
Galations ch.5 v.6 says the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
My team and i will learn what that will look like in the Dominican Republic and Haiti the next 2months.
God bless and take care till next time!!! Love Michelle Smith
