FYI.... So I got some help writing the blog tonight so it's not so lame ( thanks kathleen, BTW it's Karen managing the Blog :)
So today we started off with one of the tastest things we've eaten so far: croissants with eggs, sausage, and ham. YUM! After that we went to worship and did a little more singing and dancn'. We even had a skit where there was a frog, chicken, airplane and Pastor Wayne being a monkey. Figure y'all can use your imagination! Small groups were awesome and for crafts we made Duct tape creations. Very cool! For Rec we had a scavenger hunt /freeze tag game with "bonkers" running around with flour filled socks hitting people, and even our own team of nurses to rescue them! Sounds super fun, Right?! Evening worship was the real message of hope.... Excepting Christ as LORD. Bryan gave an amazing message that brought everyone listening to tears. We even had a monolouge about HOPE from Caitlyn. So today was all about HOPE and salvation through Christ. God is working in amazing ways...... We had two navejos recieve Christ one just as I've been writing. So God is faithful as always, his plans R perfect.
Thanks to all the prayers from the homefront... Your prayers are just as imporant as us standing here!!!!!

Team - Angels in heaven celebrate when even one comes to Christ. All of your work and preparation has paid off 100%. We here at home are so proud of your devotion and heart for the lost. I believe those two (and the others that will follow) will be catalysts for revival in that community. You may never see the full fruits of your labor until you get to the other side. But know there will be many in heaven because each one of you took seriously Christ's call to be salt and light to the dark world.
Stay focused on your call. Finish Strong !!!
We are celebrating with the Angels for the lives that are changed forever!
Rachie-I love you and I can't wait to see pictures and hear about your experiences! I left two crazy long messages with the Dunnavent family about the Blog, cuz they have your rock...(Brad I see your name every morning-on my rock)!Thinking of you,have a GREAT day!(as dad would say, "don't let anybody take it from you"!)
Logan - keep drumm'm for Jesus !!!!
Audrey, it's sounding like the team is doing exactly what they were called to do. Talked to Grammie last night and I gave her an update. Gonna to send her the blog website. Mose is still missing you. He went in your room this morning (as usual) looking for you. Had to chase him last night as he ran out...I got him before he got to far. CB is doing fine...she went to smell a flower this morning and jumped when it touched her nose.
Keep the faith, keep strong, keep smiling (miss that smile) and we'll keep praying here in "The Ville" for you and the team.
Love to you and my "other girls".
Mumma (and Dad, Carrie, Katie, Mosby and Clarabell)
This is from Grandmother, she sent it to me via email and asked me to post it. She could not figure out the blog : )
To Rachel, Hunter, Tyler and David and all the mission team members from Cool Spring..
Enjoyed seeing the pictures David sent. Thank you!
We are keeping you and your group before the Lord and pray you will have many opportunities to share the love of Jesus to those precious children.
Our prayer is that many will come to know Christ as their personal savior.
Love Grandmother and Poppa

God is doing great things through this week! I can't wait to hear and see everything that happened this week, especially Caitlyn's Hope reading last night. Keep focused on God and He will continue to bless this trip.

Pud,
So excited to hear about the hearts coming to Christ so far! Just imagine - we don't often get to see the results of our work, but God has blessed you all with these two! Keep shining your light and stay strong for HIm. You are doing the heavy physical laboring while we are back here on our knees supporting you. There are many doing the same.
Alpaca bear made an unscheduled appearance today. We have had the whole house fan on at night since it's been cool, thus the door to upstairs has been opened and blocked so Mr. Merlin couldn't climb up there. Didn't really stop him, now, did it?
Saw a HUGE brazen groundhog in the pasture today. Grrr.
love you much. Be all that you can be and then count on Him for all you can't.
Mom and Dad
David,
Thanks for sending the picture of Mary Catherine. You were sweet to share with us!
Praying for you,
Janet and Tommy
Hi Austin & Greg

By the way the snake must have returned because I found the 6 foot skin coming from under the deck last night. Yikes.
See you soon.Love Mom&Little B
Shannon, It was soooooooo good to hear your sweet voice today! I was so disappointed that I missed your call, but THANK YOU for your message! I'm excited about your flower creations...you know who wants some:) Andrew said to tell you "hi and he loves you". Of course, your dad and I do too! I'm sending hugs through the blog to "fill you up." Let me know if it works through cyberspace. We miss you!

Hey Tyler (Martin)!
Mom and I are back from the beach now. As you and the team have been soaking in God's presence and burning for Jesus, Mom and I soaked up too much sun and are just burnt! Ha ha.
But seriously, we pray that you and the team are in good health and that God is bringing strength as you head toward the end of this mission. We are so excited with you to hear that many are responding to Christ's message!! Keep up the good work!
We miss you and love you and look forward to seeing you next week!

Happy Friday, Team!
I can't wait until you all return home to share with us your experiences along this week's journey that God has taken you on. I'm sure you know by now that what God has in store for you as you minister in His name is ALWAYS more amazing than any of us could ever imagine possible. That's just how He works!
Thank you for being a reflection of God's light on behalf of Cool Spring and for letting others see Jesus in YOU!
Hugs to All,
Linda McNally

Dillon. We are praying for you and others. We know the dramas and music is touching many lives. We love you miss you and pray for safe return. Love mom and dad
Hey everyone!
So glad to hear that 2 have accepted Christ! Remember the reason that you are there while doing silly dramas and crafts and games and building friendships with people. And definitely show them how good God is and that He allows us to find joy in fun things!
How is the weather?? I bet you are braving some intense heat. Also, I hope no one is feeling sick!
For those who have been to the DR, a group is leaving for Santo Domingo today! Pray for safety in travel and blessings upon Carlos' church and ministry.
