Greetings to the Friends of Pure Joy...

Your prayers have been answered and the team has arrived safely to the Dominican Republic and we are checked in to our hotel. God has literally carried us on angel’s wings. The group from Little Rock got to Atlanta at about 8:15. This allowed us to get to our departure gate with our stuff. I then posted Julie on the bags and Faith and Kim went to wait on the Tulsa and Austin ladies to arrive while Lisa and I went to meet our Houston arrival. His timing was perfect to gather everyone up and the trip to Dominican was relaxing. Well ok, except for the extremely turbulent spots at times but who is counting that!

The weather is warmer than we expected but I suspect we will be fine. It was so sweet to finally meet Erin, our contact missionary, face to face. She and Nayely (Hotel contact) were much needed today. The team has been just hanging out and getting to know each other better. Today we had our first team meeting with everyone present in person. Also, this evening Kim did our first 'devotional' on the unity of the body. Great devotion! Everyone is tired and headed to their rooms for the night. I will be joining them in a few moments. Just wanted you to know we are here.

Please continue to pray as we continue to let our hearts be molded for His Glory!

Also, a BIG THANK YOU to Bryan, David, and Gary for getting up and getting your beautiful wives to the airport when the rest of the world was very much still sleeping!! Ha, Ha.

To my "movie star girl", Thank you for being such an encouragement to your mom!!!! You know who you are!

I will write again tomorrow night and finish our journey on the Ten Commandments.

Love you all,
His,
Vickie
