Dear Friends and Family,
We had a truly marvelous day on the beach at Puerto Plata yesterday. Most of the young ladies had their hair beaded, much bartering was done for necklaces, a delicious pineapple, purchased from a beach vendor, was consumed, and the water was very fun to play in. We enjoyed a relaxing meal at a beach restaurant in the evening. Too lovely to describe. I was very warmed to see the table of teenagers talking together long after the meal was consumed. They have really bonded and there is much unity in the group.
We awoke this morning to the news that we don't have any water. We have enough to give ourselves "cup" showers, brush our teeth, wash our faces, etc. But, there is no water for showers. That won't be much of an issue today while we worship and rest. However, it doesn't take long to work up a good sweat on the work site.
So, please pray for water on Monday!!!
Thanks!
Karen
