Domingo 19 De Febrero - We woke up to sunny skies and 80°. We ate a Dominican-style buffet breakfast in the hotel dining room @ 8:30 AM. We left the hotel on our bus and traveled about 15 minutes to the the Spanish-speaking Iglesia Principe De Paz (Prince of Peace Church) where we worshipped with our Dominican brothers and sisters . Our worship service lasted for almost 2 hours. The music and drama were quire lively and the pastor preached with great passion. Although I could not understand much of what the pastor was saying I felt the presence of my God as we were in His presence.
After the worship gathering concluded, we stood around and drank Coke and shook hands with our new brothers and sisters in Christ. We got back on our buses and headed out on our 3-1/2 hour journey, stopping for a baked chicken dinner with fried bananas at Pollo Rey (Chicken King). After dining, we got back onto our bus and continued for another 2-1/2 hours. Just so you can relate to the road conditions, this 3-1/2 hour drive is only 120 miles.
After arriving at the Solid Rock Missions Guesthouse, we put our belongings away and gathered for a short orientation. Shortly after the orientation, most of our luggage arrived. The remaining pieces, including the two wheel barrel handles on Monday afternoon--nothing was lost! Praise God!
We gathered again after dinner for a short devotional and I retired for bed early since I am still trying to recover from a slight flu bug.
