As I am writing this, I am sitting in an airport in Santo Domingo awaiting my flight back to the U.S. From there I will be headed to Mexico.
I cannot even explain the emotions inside of me. You see, I love my team in Mexico, I love the ministries. I have been waiting and dreaming about returning there to finish the year that God has called me to. But after spending seven weeks in the Dominican Republic, I feel as though I am also a part of the DR team. The people and ministries there are also heavy on my heart.
God has been mind blowingly awesome! I have three families: one in Mexico, one in the Dominican Republic and one in Nebraska. How many people get an opportunity to build such amazing relationships? I truly feel blessed.
I am a little sad about leaving one to be with another, but I know that God’s got it all covered. As I look back on my experience in the DR all I see are wonderful memories and a period of great growth for me. I am very thankful for the opportunity that I had to spend time there. I believe that God used it to help me grow, but that He also used me to help others there. He truly know what it best, all we have to do is obey.
Tamara, I’m sure your team in Mexico were glad to see you. I can imagine how weird it is to Leave the DR fro Mexico, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy being back.
Tamara, I am so glad to hear that your time in the DR was such a great experience! I am sure that the Lord accomplished much through your time there. I have to admit, though, that I am so excited to see you back in Mexico!!! I hope you enjoy your short break at home. See you on Monday!
