Trying it again!



We took some excellent advice from a brother serving in the Spanish cong in DR, he suggested we visit and work with a Spanish cong even if only for a few days because there is nothing like the Spanish ministry. So, for our first week (after spending a few days in Santo Domingo and visiting the branch) we are going to go to Samana and stay at The Tropical Bed and Breakfast Hostel, owned by a sister and rented to brothers and sisters.  They only have a Spanish cong there so we will go to the Spanish meetings and a few days in the Spanish ministry with them.

Marilyn, the sister who owns the B&B, seems like an amazing sister who we can't wait to meet. We found out she was looking for a projector and screen to show the JW.org videos to her studies in the rurals of DR.  Being the Craigslist shopper that I am:) I thought I'd see if there was anything there....and Jere is holding what we found! It came in a hard sided protective case, with a soft sided carrying case, is ultra easy to set up and weighs less than 14 pounds for easy transport. $50 to a non profit organization ($450 savings) So I took pictures of it next to Jeremiah so she could see the size, and she said "IT'S PERFECT!!"

We found out she has a bit of a hike up to where she studies with 16 families who live in caves, no electricity or even running water! The videos are going to be an excellent teaching tool for her. We can't wait to hear more about them....maybe even meet them!:)

30 days till we leave!!!
