Ryan's brother Gwynndon has been here for the past week and a half. We have been enjoying the added social life. We went out for supper with Dan and Ruthie Schrock from C.A.M., and got to watch the sunset as well as take photos. We went to the croix-des-bouquets market and were able to do fabric shopping!!! :) On the way out of the market we got caught in a mob, to many people, motos, & trucks at the same place trying to get through. We were shoulder to shoulder with no room so spare. There was a lot of pushing and shoving. Some guys got mad, that definitely didnt help the situation. We were able to get out ok!! The guys got nursery project started. They also measured out for the new church. We were able to go relax at the beach as well!! :)

Our 1st Anniversary Trip to Barahona, D.R.

What a awesome God we serve!!

We were blessed to be able to spend to spend two nights in the Dominican Republic to celebrate our anniversary!!

It was wonderful to be able to relax and enjoy God's wonderful creation!!

The beach was rocky but still beautiful!

One year of marital bliss!!

We spend Saturday and Sunday nights at C.A.M. and were very blessed to attend a English church service. It was very refreshing to be able to understand! We felt like our cups got "filled and overflowing"!!

When we came back up the mountain today, we found our house powerless! :( Ryan was able to fix the problem! The food in the fridge/freezer seemed to still be fine, so that was wonderful!

When i was preparing supper i found that my milk had soured, so i made more, then spilled some of it! I cleaned up my mess only to realize that what i was making requires flour.....and i didn't have enough sifted! So Ryan graciously sifted some for me!! O the joys of returning to "real life"!

This being the reason i sift my flour!!!

Random photo, but how many of ya'll could carry a microwave on your head?!

need a chicken, anyone?

Well i hope y'all have a blessed week serving our Lord!!

The opening day of The Hope Clinic of Fond arabie

Today, July 1st 2014, the clinic opened! It was exciting to be here and be able to experience the 1st day. They were going to see up to 30 people today, only 1 person had to be turned away because they didn't have enough money. It all seemed to run smoothly.
