Life at Language School

Between studying full-time and being completely immersed in a Spanish environment, we have kept very busy this year.   We have had the opportunity to visit many good local independent Baptist churches. Helping with neighborhood outreaches, going soulwinning, and participating in special cultural days has helped us gain many good ideas for our future ministry.  (The men in the picture above are dressed up for Independence Day.)  Living in another country has taught us many valuable lessons, most of which deal with our need to know the language well before we can have an effective ministry in the Dominican. We have just a few months remaining in our studies before we return to GA to pack our container, but we are so glad for the time we have had here to learn both language and culture.  We want to personally thank all of those who have given and prayed so that we can serve our Lord.  Please continue!

My LIttle Word

Just wanted to let everyone know how I have been doing since it has been a long time since you have  received an update on me.    I now have 2 bottom teeth; I am eating Gerber baby food, and I crawl around the house so much that my parents do not know what to do with me!  I am very healthy, and I thank God for His goodness to me and my family.  I miss you all!
