First Things First

All of the team, with the exception of Scott, arrived Saturday afternoon. Our faithful bus driver, Guillermo, took us to Bani where we stopped to let the 'hotel' know everyone had arrived. Then we headed off to Restoration Ranch where Marta had a wonderful dinner waiting for us. On this team were several people who had come last February with Carpenters for Christ. They had helped lay the first blocks and were eager to see what had transpired in the year between trips. While Fran and family were bringing the food out this crew disappeared to the job site! If their expressions and comments told the story well, they were amazed at all that had been done. Sunday morning we had a quick, but delicious breakfast and headed off to church in the capital. We decided to take them to our Dominican home church, and not one complained about having to climb four flights of stairs to get there!



Here's the team looking really sharp in their matching green 'Task Force" shirts.
