Dominican Repbulic - Wednesday...

Yeah, the Retreat started today!! The ladies made it in and they are a beautiful bunch for sure! There are no words to describe what it is like to spend time with your “people group.” The people group of Pure Joy is missionary women all over the world.

God is already up to some really amazing things. We had two missionary women that cancelled and we only found out about it today. We still had 6-7 people on the waiting list. Well, because we had a ministry staff person in the states that could track the list for us, we were able to move to of those missionary women up from the waiting list. I am telling you those girls are just a little more than EXCITED!! Ha,ha,ha

It is fun to watch the missionary women get to know each other and to watch the team moving amongst them. We had the privilege of carrying most of their luggage for them to their rooms today. It is so difficult for them to receive because they are on the giving and serving end so much. The benefit we received as a team is most of us probably lost 10 lbs of water weight! Ha,ha,ha,ha  

Praise and worship was wonderful and Faith has us all cracking up during her message titled “Good for a Laugh”. We did learn that God frequents Wal-Mart. At least to talk to Faith that is! Ha,ha,ha,ha,

Pray that the missionary women and staff will get good rest each night so we can always be ready to receive all that God has for us! 

I must tell you folks at home that are praying….I have NEVER felt the prayers from back home like we have felt them already here!  Amazing!  And much needed because the warfare here is incredible!

Love you all,

His,
Vickie
