An Unexpected Surprise

Tara (far right) arrived here on a Sunday night.  Then on Monday morning Karen and I drove her about 3 hours to a town called Las Terranas on another part of the island. She spent a week helping Rachel, Vanesa and Fernando (our SI  medical/dental staff) while they were on a mission trip. Yes, missionaries go on mission trips!



We really enjoyed spending time getting to know Tara. As we were driving we came acrossed this cave.  It was pretty awesome!
Looks kinda scary to me :)
We sensed we were in for a treat about 2 hours into our drive when we came acrossed this road.  
They literally just cut away parts of the mountainside for this new road.  With the red rock opened up, mixed with the green vegetation, aqua blue water and blue sky, wow, it really looked beautiful.
This picture does'nt do justice to how beautiful the red rock is.
Again, they literally cut this road right through this hillside.
Pretty cool!
Beautiful
Can anyone say "The hills are alive with the sound of music"?
A mere 78 degrees and cloudy, perfect :)
It was a very good day!



 I'm thinking a house right about here :)



This water will definitely make you smile 





On the way home.  Sad to be leaving the beach but still speechless over the beauty of this island
On the way home.  Just had to stop for one last look.
Not long after our beach trip we got to spend an evening going out to dinner with some great friends.

We are getting ready to go for a pretty hard push so this was a wonderful break.  Please pray for strength, wisdom and most of all, an overabundance of God's love to freely give to all who come down here these next 10 months.  Thank you to all who partner with us to bring the Good News to the Dominican people and  American high school and college students.
