Pictures from our trip to Monte Cristi.

We have returned.

The group had a good day. We missed Kristin who was not feeling well today. While we were looking around Monte Cristi for a beach to spend the day at, a lady with a boat tour company approached us with an alternative. We took a boat ride to a small island off the coast after we had ordered food for lunch. We spent a couple of hours swimming and exploring the island before they brought our lunch to the island. We spent another couple of hours after we ate lunch lounging on the beach, exploring and swimming. The boat picked us up and we headed back to Moa, we safely arrived around 6:30. Kristin is feeling a little better than this morning but still not close to 100%. We thank you for your prayer for health and safety, God is good. Pictures will be posted soon.

We are off to explore a little today.

The block that we laid the last two days needs time to setup before we build forms and pour the lintel beam. The local workers are also working to finish up the rebar cages for the lintel beam. So we are off the explore Monte Cristi on the north west coast. We have been informed that with our trip to Higuey on Saturday, we will be the first CRC mission team to essentially cross the entire country in the span of one trip. We are looking forward to a little R&R before the heavy work of the last two days. The heat and the long days are taking a physical toll on everyone, but we are in good spirits and really enjoying the whole experience. Please pray that we have safe travels today and that everyone is refreshed and ready to go Friday and Saturday. Thank You!
