Building relationships

Although no one on our mission team speaks much Spanish, we have already begun building relationships.  Three little boys helped Dick and I sift sand this afternoon.  We even stopped a couple times to play baseball...well play catch at least.  We are getting to know David and a few other construction workers  afternoon.  Another husband and wife who watch over the neighborhood are quickly becoming familiar to us.

It's evident to us that Brian and Jeanette are committed to the people in their neighborhood.   Brian told us the story about the young mother we met this afternoon around the construction site. She was introduced to the church by young people on the mission team from Oregon a few weeks ago. She recently joined the church.

Here at the Dominican Republic mission, just like it is at home in Wisconsin, making disciples for Christ begins to happen when you build relationships.
