D.R. Update

Posted by Brian

Well another week has passed in the D.R. Our new center of activities in Pancho Mateo is awesome. We are in the process of decorating and making it look like a little school. It has become the center of attention when we are there. But along with that some problems have arisen, many children want to come and stay for all the classes, regardless of whether they are 4 or 14 years old. The problem is when the 10,11 and 12 years olds give all the answers in the younger classes. We have an no entrance policy and a barbed wire fence but that still doesn't deter some. Another attraction is the guyaba tree in our yard. This can be distracting to a child who doesn't know what his next meal will be.

We have some prayer requests this week.
1. Children in the villages specifically Francis,12, and Joldi, 13.
2. Our vehicle situation, we need a reliable vehicle. We have a 87 Suzuki samurai if it has been very faithful, but we need something with more room and more reliability, our jeep is reliable but we sometimes have to park on a hill in case we have to coast start it. Car shopping is a nightmare here, so we would appreciate your prayers.
3. Our health.
