We are home!

On Thursday, we traveled back after our time in the Dominican Republic.

We started our day with breakfast at the CRC Ministry Center where we stayed in Santo Domingo and then packed everything up for the trip home. 

On our way to the airport, we made a couple of stops since we didn't fly out til the afternoon.  We stopped at Los Tres Ojos (The Three Eyes) which is a beautiful underground water/cave feature that has crystal clear water and many unique rock features.

After this, we stopped at a couple of different Christian schools in the area and saw the children, classrooms and construction projects that they had going on as well as seeing some of the programs that they have working in the local communities like lunch programs and a medical program for the community around the school.

We then arrived at the airport and we were off.  The flights went well and we had a longer layover in Atlanta where the group enjoyed having some American food :-)  We arrived back in Omaha just after 11 PM with all our luggage and made our way home.  I am guessing you would have heard most of the team members heads hitting their pillows around 2 AM.

Thanks for all the support and prayers during this trip.  We could definitely feel the support and strength during our time away.

Please stay tuned for a few more pictures and wrap up from our trip.  After all, it has been a bit too serious.  There might be a few pictures that make their way to the blog :-)
