Meet Bonnie,

Bonnie is another member of my “family group” from the Dominican Republic mission trip. She is a soccer player and was a little disappointed when she found out that soccer was not as popular in the Dominican Republic as is was in Mexico, where they went last year on the spring break mission trip. Bonnie as well as all my family group members really connected with the each other and the Dominicans we worked with on the trip. Oh yea, and Bonnie did get to use her soccer skills during a volleyball game when she used her foot to return the ball.

Thank you Bonnie for being this week’s Friday friend.

Meet Casey,

Casey is another one of my Dominican Republic mission trip”family group” members. It was great getting to know the members in my group and seeing them open up as we went through training before the trip. But to see them become closer to each other and to God while in the Dominican Republic was amazing.

Meet Caitlin.

Another on of my “family group” member from the Dominican Republic mission trip. Caitlin was the quiet on of the bunch, at least until we got to the VBS site and she was able to play with the children. I could tell that working with the kids was her favorite part of the mission trip. I can’t wait to what God has planned for her.

Thank Caitlin for being one of my Friday friends and part of my family group.

Meet Alex

Alex is another one of my “family group” members from the Dominican Republic mission trip. Baseball is the most popular sport in the Dominican Republic. Alex is a baseball player, so the sport ministry part of the mission trip was a great fit for him. But I think playing with the kids at Vacation Bible School in a small village under a huge mango tree had largest affect on him. God is awesome!

Thanks Alex for being this Friday’s Friend.

Meet Bailey

Not only is Bailey a member of my “family group” for the Dominican Republic mission trip, she is also a student leader on the trip. So she has a few extra jobs to do while on the trip and one of them is to help me keep the other members of my group focused, this can be a difficult task because we are all easily distracted.
