I am writing this post sitting in my comfy american house, on an ENGLISH keyboard (I can find the apostrophe so easily now!), with not a hint of the noise of the Disco Mobile playing Merengue music in the background....and even though I'm very american right now, I'm thinking about the DR. I'm remembering all the amazing friends I made there, the times I saw God's hand doing the work when I couldn't, all the spanish words I cringe to think I'm forgetting, the sewing machines that I'm sure are still breaking, and Charo and the girls who are still continuing on the sewing work.
Thank you, so MUCH, each and every one of you who prayed for me, kept updated by reading my blog, sponsored sewing students, wrote me emails, commented about my pictures, encouraged me....and who have welcomed me home again, newly acquired dominican quirks and all!!!! What a blessing to have such a "support group", coming to the airport to meet me, wanting to see my pictures, hear my stories....THANK YOU!!!
My plans now are to pursue further education in Apparel Design. I will begin the end of Sept. and am very excited in this new season of my life. I also hope to get involved in a hispanic church, I would like to keep my spanish up, and get involved in some kind of ministry with the hispanic women. Part of my heart lies there.
Continue to keep the dominicans in prayer, especially Charo and the women of Algodon. Thanks for going on this journey with me! It's been an exciting 6 months!
