Up all night

Posted by Brian

Well some of you that have lived in the Dominican Republic can sympathize with us. Last night one of our neighbors decided to have a party, but the thing is it didn't start until eleven and didn't end until 3:30. The party included very loud music that kept us up and I imagine the whole neighborhood. It is not uncommon and most who have lived here probably have had an experience like this. So we are a little tired today.

Today we took nine children from Pancho Mateo to church with us. We have been trying every week to bring children with us. Usually it is 2 or 3. We gave an open this week invitation and everyone wanted to come. We picked them up and everyone that could ran to change clothes to go with us. So we had Children in everything from dress pants and dresses to soccer shorts and flip flops. We were worried when we saw the mix we had with us. We had enough Bibles for them all to share and they behaved amazingly. I was praying the whole time that they would and God really answered that prayer. As a matter of fact they were the best behaved children in the church. Two of them did fall asleep though. We were so proud of them.
