Lions, Tigers, and Spanish- OH My! :)

Hola mis amigos,
Today concludes our third day in the Dominican Republic. I'm going to keep this post short because we are very tired :) This morning we helped Peg make breakfast for the council meeting. Emily and I each made a coffee cake, Denver Egg Casserole, and strawberry yogurt parfaits. I think the people here really liked what we made, on account that they ate most of it. The council meeting went from 8:30 until 2. It was great meeting the council. They are a group of super nice men and women that each have their own responsibilities in the church. They welcomed us to their country very warmly and it made me feel more at home.  Later we went to the park with the teens group. It was a fun time where we played games, ate snacks, and  one of the council members, Saul preached about God. Later; the teens, Emily and I , and a few of the adults hung out at the apartment. Many of the teens did not speak English, so I got a lot of practice with my Spanish. After they left we went with Bill to a Spanish church service at JesuCristo, Fuente De Amor. It was very nice service and they had very graceful dancers. Hopefully, we will post more pictures on Monday. Tomorrow is Sunday, so we will be very busy and have a lot to report on later.!!!!!
