6-16-15 Straw Market and Girls Home

From Kelsey Zimmerman & Laura Henry =) 

Dear church, family, and supporters,

We had another amazing day ministering! To start our day off we went to Score for breakfast. We headed off to the straw market at Santo Domingo around 8:30. On our way to the straw market we saw the house of Christopher Columbus and his son, which showed us a small part of the history of Dominican Republic. There we experienced a new way of buying things with a different culture. After spending 2 hours at the straw market we stopped for lunch by the ocean.

Around 2:00 we headed over to Pasitos de Jesus Girls Home for another 2 hours, ministering to them by singing songs, doing bracelets with the girls, and talking about what Jesus did on the cross for all of us. A majority of the girls were physically and mentally abused with some being permanent orphans. There they have a better environment with good food, clean water, and a good place to sleep at night. Then to end the day we learned more about the ministries of Score.
