Here is Rita Lewis's greatest joys in the DR.(Rita is the first lady on the left on the truck) We enjoyed her being with us! Rita worked with the little kids all week.
It is a very difficult place to work because you are giving our all week and no giving back to you. You love on the Kids all week and it is so important but can not talk to them. Thank you Rita for being obedient!!
Rita says: The thing that made the most impression on me was Mari's lesson to the teenage girls and how much things have changed in the ten years since I have been there.
I can see progress; children are cleaner, schools are bigger and better, the community looks better. The mission is doing a work for the Lord!
It happens so slowly that those that are there don't really see it until they look back to what it was like when they first arrived on the Field. With me not seeing it for ten years, I seen a big change!
I thought about the mission through the night last night and prayed for the people.
My heart is still with them. Thank you for letting me go with the team. I enjoyed it very much. I have many new friends because of it.
Blessings to you all. Rita
