Today was a great day in the Dominican Republic. First, we ate breakfast and loaded up the bus for a 45 minute bus ride to La Romana. Here, we boarded a rather large boat and sailed off for the island Catalina. While many of the students loved this hour boat ride, some were quite relieved to finally reach land. Just before reaching land, we docked up and were able to jump off the boat and snorkel around the area we anchored in. This was a very fun time for the students and everyone really enjoyed this. After bringing in the anchor, we sailed for land and made ourselves comfortable. Some, enjoyed beach volleyball, swimming, tanning, and even cheap massages while others played games and went on walks. It is safe to say we had a BLAST today! Many are sunburnt but all are happy. After enjoying this day we headed back home to score to enjoy dinner.
We had a great devotion tonight led by Coach Brown speaking on how to guard ourselves from the dangers of this world. This really hit home with many of the students. After Coach Brown talked, Matt Hall gave a brief sermon on how to be bold for the Lord. He challenged the students to pray that Jesus would put them in situations in which they were called to be bold for Him. Many students loved hearing both of these messages and made commitments that will impact them in their senior year as well as in their freshman year of college.
As we say our “goodnights” tonight to our last night in the DR, we are packing and playing a few last favorite games. Tomorrow the students will be split back into their groups from when we were to arrive in the Dominican and will be with the same Chaperone. The flight schedule is as follows:
