We thought we were going to prepare an orphanage and take care of orphaned children for 2 and a half weeks. We ended up flying to the Dominican Republic for 4 days. And during that time making a quick trip into Santo Domingo and stopping by the American Embassy ;) We have much to tell and hopefully someday we will be able to share more with all of you. It was definitely an emotional roller coaster. We continue to pray for the release of Laura as we wait on God's perfect timing. We had the privilege of being part of something much bigger than we ever expected. We would do it again if God should ask. Thanks to everyone who made it possible for us to go. Though you may feel your involvement was small, God used each of you to carry out His will. May He receive all the Glory.
We arrived in the DR but our ride into town had forgotten us.

On our way over to Santo Domingo we bought fresh cashews from a street vendor.
