This morning was the perfect day to observe the Lord's day! The weather was incredible-- not too hot, not too humid, not a rain cloud in sight! Absolutely perfect! We were able to sleep in before grabbing breakfast and then putting on our Sunday best (who knew CMMA could clean up so nice after a week of sweat??) to go to a local church and join them for their worship service. The service was much like ones we see in the states (except in Spanish). We started off with a few announcements, some singing, and then the CMMA group sang "It is well" for the congregation. It was so touching! (I may be a bit biased, but I think CMMA may have a future in the recording studio) Pastor Bobby then gave a beautiful sermon regarding faith and trusting in God before the kids recited a psalm and we sang our final song.
Once back at SCORE, we ate lunch, packed up our scrubs for the upcoming week, and had the afternoon off. Many people went to a local place called Lilly's House. It's an organization that saves women from prostitution and teaches the women to craft, garden, cook, etc. Then they sell the items the women make to raise money for the organization. If you ever get a chance to go, get the chocolate chip ice cream! It's life changing! We ended the day in prayer and prepared for our week ahead! It's hard to believe we only have one more week of serving the Lord here in the DR. Please pray for our safety and health as we hit our halfway mark and prayers for safe travels!
