Today, we went to Catalina Island and saw beautiful palm trees, ate delicious food, and snorkeled. It was amazing to see God's beautiful creation and enjoy the clear blue waters, sunny skies, and summer weather. Luckily, the sun did not toast anyone. To end the day we adventured to the skate park for roller skating and sweet treats at Lily's Place Thank you all for praying with us this week. Continue to pray we have safe travels tomorrow as we head back to the states!

Day 6 in the Dominican Republic
Today in San Pedro, the team was able treat many patients at Pastor Jose Ramon’s church. God’s presence is always in the midst of the environment. The gratitude from each and every patient warmed our hearts tremendously. We treated many different conditions that includes the following: tonsilitis, ear infections, bladder infections, overuse forearm injuries, low back pain, hypertension, and diabetes. We have been constantly reminded to be grateful for all the things that God has blessed us with, including the opportunity to help his people in other countries. We want to thank our team for working diligently to serve and treat people, the translators for explaining and translating information to the patients, and to SCORE International for hosting our stay and making this all possible. Congratulations to Doctor George Harris for treating so many patients. Today he treated about 44 patients by himself. The energy and passion he brought to the trip was unremarkable. Tomorrow, the team will finish the mission trip with a fun day at Catalina Island. Thank you all for praying for us while we serve the Lord and his people. -- Day 5 in the Dominican Republic
Today in Villa Verde, we treated the residents, the pastor, his wife, and the members of the church. The team was able to provide medicine, therapeutic interventions, wellness checkups, and spiritual care. We also were able to sight see and play with children throughout the village. God’s presence filled the atmosphere and the hearts of the people in Villa Verde. The people left with so much joy and gratitude knowing that we were able to help them with their spiritual and physical needs. Please continue to pray for the team and the people of Juan Dolio, Dominican Republic. Tomorrow we will be traveling to San Pedro to the church of Pastor Jose Ramon. -- Day 4 in the Dominican Republic The team had a blast today in Monte Cristi. We were able to serve and treat members of the community, local church, and the nursing home. Our students were able to give some great massages and administer a quad cane and a couple wrist braces. There were a variety of conditions that we were able to treat including stroke, low back pain, abdominal pain, hypertension, and fungus. We also provided spiritual care and encouragement to each patient. At the end of the visit, we were able to visit the residents of the nursing home and brighten up their day with music and dancing. Tomorrow we will be serving Villa Verde. As always remember to keep this team as well as our patients in your prayers. Day3 in the Dominican Republic
Today was the first day of service and the holy spirit truly shifted the atmosphere in El Penon. We were able to see more than 30 patients today. Each patient was unique in their own special way. These God-fearing people impacted our lives the same way we were able to impact theirs. The MD, PTs, PT students, and OT students worked diligently to adapt to the environment and utilize their skills in amongst a different culture. There were lots of laughter and joy that will be remembered for a lifetime. Next assignment will be tomorrow at Monte Cristi. As always continue to pray us as we let God use us in mighty ways. This is the day that the Lord has made! Today we attended a church service at Iglesia Bautista, and the topic of the sermon was John chapter 21. Afterwards, the team had fun in the sun either at the beach or by the pool. Tonight, we had fulfilling small group sessions and we are looking forward to serving and ministering to the communities in the week ahead. We ask that you continue to pray for us as we let God use us in mighty ways this week to help others.
