On Thursday our summer interns arrived here in the Dominican. We are so excited they are here and are having a great time getting to know them. From the left there is: Hunter Main, Haley Lehman, Richard Parsons, and Audrey Parker. They have jumped right into the action. Friday Rich and I had breakfast for them at our house, a time of devotion, and orientation. In the afternoon they met the people in the neighborhood and then we took the kids from the Children's Home to Rio San Juan for ice cream as a "end of school" celebration.
Yesterday we went to Puerto Plata to show them where we visit people in the hospital and dump. Today we had church, Richard offered a prayer and Hunter led our thoughts for the Lord's Supper. Audrey and Haley had kids surrounding them within seconds of arriving.
The interns are essential to our summer program. Besides being a HUGE help to the MannaDR staff, they also get to have a ministry of their own. This program is designed to help grow up missionaries whether they become missionaries abroad or in their home town in the US. We are so excited for the summer and so thankful that God sent us these amazing individuals to work alongside of us.
