Heading Home

So in two days I'll be heading back to the states. It's so crazy to think that I've been here for over two week already. I've done my best to try to express everything that God has shown me while I've been here and what he's used me to be able to do. At this point I'm really just interested to see what God is going to do in the next few days. Honestly the least that I want to be able to do is go and see some of the people one last time before I leave. One really cool thing that I may get to do today or tomorrow though is go and see the waterfalls! I'm pretty sure that will be a pretty awesome experience on a selfish level but still a blessing none the less.

I've spent a significant amount of time with the family talking with them about what God has in store for their future. There's a few businesses that I think will really be able to make a difference here and I've been super happy to be a part of seeing those things coming to fruition. There's so much that's difficult down here in making a last difference because of the culture and the things that these people have to overcome. What the Jenkins are fighting for and what I've been so happy to help be a part of is making sure that these people always have their daily bread. There are always opportunities to help make things just a little better but if the communities can consistently make the money to have food on the table and the Spirit of God in their hearts then the work done here has been a success. That's what we hope these business can help do and where I feel that the heart of the Lord is right now. Hopefully somewhere in the future there will be a future opportunity to make a massive culture difference and alleviate some of the poverty issues but as for right now I know that the Lord in his sovereignty is working in great ways and I'm excited to have been a small part of it.

When you hear from me again, I will be back home with some closing thoughts about the trip in its entirity. But I need to spend some more time in prayer and just see where he leads my heart before I can entirely communicate what I think he would have all of us to do concerning the Dominican Republic, the people here, and what impact this has on my life and the lives of people around me. I appreciate all the prayers and support. It's really made this trip more amazing than anything I could've ever imagined. Pray the Lord continues to be with me in the next two days and that he brings me back safely on thursday. I love you all and can't wait to see you and talk to you more thoroughly about the whole thing. I'm sorry that my thoughts were so scattered today, it's been hard to really focus. But yeah, love you tons. God bless.
