A Visit to Los Tres Ojos
On Friday we were invited to have supper at Yuri's mother's house. She made us an authentic Dominican meal that was delicious! David said she made the best tostones he's ever had in the Dominican. She also made us a Dominican drink called Tamarindo that was delicious - it tasted like a cold apple cider! We shared our favorite Bible verses and enjoyed a great night of fellowship with our Dominican friends. When we returned to the hostel we made protein balls for Yuri and Gabriel to take to work the next day so they could bless their coworkers.
This morning started out with a bit of excitement. Bri and Mel woke up to find a cockroach in their room! First, please understand that cockroaches in the Dominican are at least 3 inches long. Also, they have wings and can fly! So, it was a terrifying sight to see first thing in the morning. Ed and Tyler came to the rescue with a cheese grater, shoes, and a Bible. Thankfully the shoes did the trick and other weapons did not need to be used in the process. After we were confident that our hostel was once again cockroach-free, Carlos and Diana brought us to Los Tres Ojos where there are beautiful underground caves. We had fun exploring and seeing God's beautiful creation! We also learned that the first Jurassic Park movie was filmed here.
Then we walked to the Old City (Zona Colonial) to shop and sight-see some more. We took a lot of selfies today! Yuri, Carlos, and Diana joined us for supper at 'Parking Burger'. Yuri told us how it went delivering the treats to her coworkers today. She explained that at first she counted and didn't think they'd have enough for all their coworkers. So they just decided to pass them out until they were gone. However, all their coworkers were able to have one and there was even one left for both Yuri and Gabriel to enjoy! The Lord provided! We were so excited to hear about this. Please pray that their coworkers were impacted by their love today, and that Yuri and Gabriel would continue to find ways to reach out to their coworkers.
