seventeen days

i will be leaving for the dominican republic in 17 days. that's a little crazy. that means school is out in less than two weeks. it also means i've been back in the country almost a year. it means i need to start packing very, very soon.

it's really kind of hard to believe that i'm going back. i know it's only for a week, but to be able to see all of those precious faces again is beyond my imagination. and to see the finished schoolhouse with all of the kids in their uniforms - or just in clothes at all! - is going to be amazing.

we also have a pretty amazing group of people going on our trip. i think we are blessed to have a small group - 12 of us total - which means we'll be able to have more opportunities to hang out with the people and hear their stories, something that isn't possible with larger groups because you draw a crowd and then chaos breaks out.

on this trip we'll also be getting involved with the local church in Montellano, Templo Biblico, to work alongside their youth in ministering to those in need that are in their every day community.

i don't think i can put into words how excited i am to visit this amazing country.

if you would still like to give financially to our group, just email me and i can give you more info on how much is needed and where to send it. thanks!
