Hi,
My name is Jen Dixon and I have been here since Saturday, June 10th. It’s been so sweet to join in on all the fun the team has been having here. It’s been so humbling and encouraging to hear about all God has been doing here. Today we went to a little sugar cane village to do medical missions. There was one particular man we were able to help that stood out to me. He was a 78-year-old man who walked into the clinic with the biggest smile on his face. He was ecstatic to receive an eye exam and reading glasses. Come to find out, all he wanted glasses for was so he could read a Bible. He told us he became a Christian a week ago and was not able to read the Bible. When we gave him his glasses, he had the biggest smile on his face. He then proceeded to ask where the bibles were and if he could have one. We immediately gave him one and sent him to the evangelizing part of the clinic. It was so encouraging to see his attitude and desire just to read God’s word. The joy of his spirit and gratitude he had was so encouraging to all of us. He could not stop telling me and the others how he was so grateful for all that he had. He had very little but was thankful for the food and shelter God provides for him every day. It was a sweet reminder that God will always provide for his people and the joy that comes with being God’s children. After clinic, we were able to fellowship at a fun pizzeria and celebrate Brenton’s birthday. We then went to the beach to watch the sunset but ended up jumping in with our clothes on. It was a sweet time just floating in the water reflecting on all the Lord was doing here in the DR. We ended our last night with Beck and Brenton by playing a huge game of catch phrase. What a joy it has been so far. The Lord continues to bless our time here and bring people to hear the good news. Tomorrow is our last day doing medical missions out in the villages. Excited to see what God has in store! All Glory be to God, Jen Dixon Athletic Trainer
