A week away from the Creek

Two months ago, a group from Otter Creek took our little corner of the island by storm. We hiked to the river, danced the Macarena, taught about hygiene, visited the hospital, fed people who live on the dump, played Twister, threw Cocoa Puffs, LOVED on kids, made friendships, went on a scavenger hunt, ate lots of plantains, roofed a house and lounged on the beach.

The week was a true blessing to God's work in the Dominican Republic. Otter Creek planned (and bought all sorts of fun supplies for) activities that the kids LOVED, required little Spanish, and taught great messages.

We are thankful, Otter Creek. Now if you will just get yourselves back down here so the kids will STOP asking us when our friends are coming back!!!

Well, we are so ready to come back! We've started Spanish classes at night so that everyone can communicate better when we get back, and we're recruiting for others to come along :) Can't wait to talk when you come up in a few weeks! (And I BETTER get to charlar contigos!) Abrazos, Bethy
