This past week I was blessed to have some pretty incredible visitors stay at my house. They are the kind of people that you always want to be around. The kind of people whose words and actions are drenched with the love of Jesus. The kind of people who leave you missing them and wishing they would come back as soon as they leave.
Jennifer, Jacob, and Jordan blessed and encouraged me so much during their week here. Their passion for the Jaibon boys and the country in general is enough to make anyone excited about coming here and experiencing it for themselves. Their love for the people here is deep and God-given and I can't wait to see where the Lord takes them. And I also can't wait for the day that they are back on Dominican soil!
...
While they were here, we went up to Jaibon for a few days and I was once again amazed by the hearts and hospitality of my friends there. They inspire me to give more, to serve more, and to open up my home more. I honestly haven't met many other people who are more selfless than my dear friends in Jaibon. These three women have completely different personalities, but they each love people with their whole hearts and welcome strangers into their homes as though they were family. You leave their houses feeling filled up and encouraged and I hope they one day know just how much they have taught me about truly loving others.
...
I'm back in San Pedro now, missing my visitors and my dear friends in Jaibon and Monte Cristi, but grateful for all that the Lord has done and all of the people He has put in my life.
I'm so so so blessed.
Here are a few photos from the past week...
