I had coffee with Tammi yesterday and learned a lot about our trip with Merge. (As of this morning, by the way, we are up to 20 students! I had hoped for 15, and dreamed of 20. Yee Haw God!)Anyway, it looks like next summer we will be serving in Puerto Plata, the second largest city in DR. We will be helping a church there by working on their ministry building and doing some ministry with the many local kids in their newly donated lot next door!
Tammi did say that there were 3 areas we should be working on:
Passports-Get this started now, because it may take weeks!
Airplane Tickets- The sooner, the better.
Training Date- Tammi will spend a weekend with us answering questions, and training our students to prepare them for their time in DR. Our two options are Dec 15th or Feb. 16th.
Personally I lean towards February, so everything we learn isn't lost over Christmas break, but let me know your preference, because once we choose a date, IT WILL BE MANDATORY!
Lastly, The cut off date for sign ups is November 11. Please get your questions answered by me and your checks to the church!
