Monday. Our first work day!

Most of the time we traveled by cattle truck...since the bus couldn't make it through some of the bumpy dirt roads.

Miles and miles of fences made with trees.

We did our first mural of the week!

It was a bit of a challenge, because we forgot a few things...like paint trays. It all worked out though.

Every evening we went to a different church. Today we wore our wrap skirts, donated by a friend of mine! After the week was over we gave them to the kitchen staff at MGM.

The church services were always so lively and wonderful. Dominican Republic
We literally had a conga line going! Unfortunately I lost my lens cap while prancing around.

It was a fantastic day. 

Sorry for the lack of words. I seem to of used them all up in my brain today. . . Thank goodness I have so many pictures that speak for themselves!
