the Dominican
August 7, 2012
I had the privilege of going on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic last week. While much of my trip will be blogged about on my personal blog, here are some images of the DR that I will not forget.

Thank you so much for sharing Julie. Will continue to keep your family in our prayers and these families.
I absolutely love seeing Elisabel (your 3rd picture)! I am interning with Makarios this summer & as I was searching for Tamarindo, Pancho Mateo & Chichigua I was directed to this blogpost! Praying you are doing well and that the Lord brings the people you met in the DR to your mind often!!
