Here in the American Republican

November 3, 2008

Actually, we’re in the Dominican Republican but Caroline couldn’t figure out how to say it so she’s been telling people all week that her mama is going to the American Republican, which makes it sound like I’m very politically involved as opposed to being on a trip with Compassion.

We’re here. We’re safe. I love our group.

All is well.

And just so you know, here are the other bloggers that are with me so that you can check out their posts throughout the week.

Mary at Owlhaven
Jennifer at 5 Minutes for Mom
Marlboro Man and his daughters from Pioneer Woman
Tim at Challies.com

And our leaders are:

Brian Seay
Shaun Groves

And our trip photographer who also happens to be my roommate:

Keely Scott

We’re heading out in just a little while to visit our first Compassion Project and I’ll be back on Tuesday with a full report.

Praying that you will indeed hear “This is the way, walk in it.” at every turn this day. Can’ wait to hear and see what God does!
Love,

Big Mama ~ Sounds like you’re doing just fine and dandy there in the American Republic. I grew up as an “MK” in Africa, so it was the coming “home” to America that was always traumatic for me! :-)

I’ve been praying for you, Caroline & P, and your extended family. What a blessed opportunity to be used by God. God’s angels are watching over you and your group. I will continue to pray for you each day. Life is so exciting with the Lord, and to see how God is using you is amazing. I’m very happy for you and I know your mom and others are too.
