Our schedule is changing compared to the busy summer. We have taken the last couple weeks to begin
homeschooling and see how that will work as we continue the café ministry. Matt and Teri also began Spanish lessons
three days/week for two hours.
Eventually we will add Spanish to the kid’s curriculum as well. We continue to work with our regular students and a 14 year old boy who started coming in about a month ago at the café, three days a week (see the
pictures). Alec and Marcus have been helping
with this young man and they are having a lot of fun. Recently, we have also added two more guys
and our cook from the café to the mix. We
have begun to attend the local church in Santiago on Sundays as well as the
older three kids attending the Saturday night youth group.
Our upcoming schedule

Please pray with us…
Lord, please help us to adjust to the different pace of our
new schedule and take time for our family.
Help us to continue to connect with our community both in the church,
the cafe as well as the relationships we have already established. Help the children to meet and connect with
friends in youth group and church to help their time here. Please help us all as we continue to learn
and study our Spanish, help it to strengthen and build our relationships with
those around us. And lastly, continue to
help us share your Word and do your work here in the Dominican Republic. In Jesus’ name Amen.
Thank You for your partnership in prayer,
Matt, Teri, Alec, Marcus, Ellah, Madelyn and Isaac
