He is risen.  He is risen indeed! Alleluia!  We pray you had a blessed Lenten season and Easter.  We look forward to many upcoming activities in the Dominican Republic as well as wrapping up the school year for Lizz and the girls.  We continue to give thanks to God for each of you. 

Cultural Highlight: Palm Sunday

It is tradition in the Dominican Republic for congregations to process around the neighborhood with palms on Palm Sunday.  Because palms are so prevalent here it is also customary to bring your own palms with you to church.  We saw many Dominicans on their way to church carrying palm branches.

We are thankful for a visit from Blake’s sister and family!  We enjoyed showing them our favorite sights and places in the Dominican Republic.

Meet our Accountant!

Thanks for all your prayers for an accountant to come to the D.R. and help us out.  Meet Grant!  He is here for a few weeks to help Blake catch up on all things accounting.  We are so thankful he is here and for all the great work he is accomplishing.  The girls have also enjoyed having him around for dinner and Bible Trivia.
