The day started out by a small group going up to the site
and taking the last of the concrete forms off on the roof gable. We then had our last breakfast with Gloria at
the hotel restaurant and finished packing everything up for the trip home. After packing the tools, luggage and finally
the people into the 2 vans, we traveled back to Santo Domingo, to the ministry
center where we will spend the night.
Since we had the afternoon free, we went to downtown Santo
Domingo, to the Colonial District and did a little sightseeing of the area
where Christopher Columbus first landed and set up a fort. In addition, we spent some time checking out
the cathedrals and other sights as well as the market district. The only downfall was that there is a lot of
traffic near this area and we spent a lot of time on the road and waiting.
Steve and Sandra Brauning, the missionaries here, invited us
for supper at their home and so we spent the evening with them and had a good American
meal of chili out on their rooftop patio.
We spent some time discussing many of the projects and churches and what
some of these church congregations face for challenges.
It was a good day and we did a lot of reflecting. We are looking forward to packing up and
heading home tomorrow. Please pray for
safety as we travel home and return to our families.
