The experience I had in the Dominican Republic
was life changing. My mind is overflowing with topics I could share about my trip, but one topic in particular stood out to me. The DR is faced with countless struggles. Pastor Alberto told us that the only way to earn money was through baseball, politics, and drugs. That statement alone can make anyone’s heart ache. But the people in the DR didn’t see it as a roadblock- they saw it as an opportunity to see God work. The smiles I saw in the DR seemed to be endless. They could praise God without shoes on their feet. They could praise God without a roof over their head. They could praise God through financial instability. They could praise God through it all and it was absolutely inspiring to see.
