chicken business the DR way

Hello all
Sorry that I have not blogged in a few days.
We have had some busy days. Working from sun-up to sun-down.
It is beautiful here and the weather has been nice. It has rained a lot here, but no one cares if they get wet, we just cool off that way.

Tues. I went to the micro-finance site and you all can click on the video and see the way this lady makes her living. She butchers 50 to 200 chickens per day.
Depends on her orders, 6 days a week.

Then I went to a social site and visited the site I was at last year. Mari Bowers gave a talk to the young ladies on sexual purity. It was really good and if you want to know more see Mari and ask her.

Tue evening we all divided up in groups, jumped on the truck and headed out to town to shop and eat dinner. The lady at the base that does all the cooking (Millie) is a much better cook that the rest. was up town. She is an awesome cook.

We then came back for team time to talk about how the day had affected you and how God was speaking to you. Many ladies have opened up there hearts in unbelievable ways. They are so wanting to be used by God and as God continues to break our hearts we then can be humbled by him and fall on our faces before Him and be used by God as he wants to use us.

After finally getting the middle room of ladies to quite down we all got to sleep. They are the rowdy bunch of ladies.... I wonder who is in that cabin. Like Jasmine, Kim, Brooke, Donna, oh my lists goes on.....

On wed we went to our sites and saw God work in awesome ways. Babies were born and
Kids were loved on and Ladies were fed the word of God.
We had team night again, crying and laughing and giving God the glory for the day.

Wed night we went to eat in the Dominican homes.
We were divided up into 9 groups and we ate in there homes.
Many of the Ladies returned, never to be the same ever again. God showed us hoe little they have and how happy and they were to be Gods children, and God showed us how we have so much and how unhappy we are. God broke the hearts of these ladies once again never to be the same!

Thur. already and we only have one more day to be in the DR. and be at the sites.
Today we left awoke with Gods heart in us and left ours in the room. How will it be different with the heart of God instead of our heart? I will be excited to find out tonight in our team time. We have to make Kettle Corn tonight for there snack for the Festive.

Tomorrow we have a Festive with lots of children. The first group is from 10-12 and the 2nd group will be 2-4 at 2 locations. Pray for us as we continue to serve in the DR. I am excited to see how you will see a difference in us.
Sorry the internet is not strong enough to upload video. Will do it when we get home
