Today is the Lord’s Day.  The morning began with church service at the Maranatha church, who is our church host when working in the D.R. After church service, we traveled to visit Pilar and Francisco, an elderly couple that we sponsor. We soon made a quick trip to the beach before heading to Pastor Elza Phanord’s church for the evening service.  This has been the highlight for many over the past years worshiping at Elza’s church under the stars.
