I arrived on Friday after a very ventures Thursday. After a flight delay a normal trip turned into me and 3 others touring the east coast. We made stops in six different states before arriving in the Dominican a day late. When we arrived Friday afternoon we met our teammates at Emanuel House and got a warm welcome everyone was very kind. 

Saturday we started our day by playing two baseball games against a very good Dominican team. Even though we couldn't communicate through words it was easy to understand each other, because we both speak the language of baseball. It was really cool experience playing with them and the little kids off to the side I was amazed by how well we could communicate and that there was was no language barrier just everyone playing having a good time speaking the game we love, Baseball. 

Sunday was a day we took to just have a rest. We went to this wonderful church service in the morning. You could just feel the presence of God in the room. It was amazing to be around, everyone was singing and the preacher gave a very powerful message. 

Monday was amazing our group went shopping with $180 but by the end everyone chipped in and we ended up with $600 to go buy food to feed to families.  Once we got the food we went to a village to play with the kids, to give out the food, and most importantly talk about Christ. It was so much fun getting to know those people and the kids were great. After we finished Playing with the kids we handed out the food and prayed for the families. Later that night we had our regular evening meeting, but with special guest singers. It was an amazing night everyone was up from their seats clapping and singing along, just a great time and an awesome way to end a great day!  All this being said, I have really enjoyed my time here with the other players and all the people I have met. Please continue to pray for me and everyone else on the rest of the trip. God Bless.
