My Story...

Hello! Thanks for visiting my blog. I will be spending the next two years in the Dominican Republic and am excited to use this space to share news with you. God has placed a calling on my heart to venture out and teach in the mountains of the Dominican Republic at Doulos Discovery School. I will also be working with an outreach ministry, called Young Life. Please take some time to check out the links for both of these organizations. Thank you so much for partnering with me on this adventure!

Outdoor Education Week

"Roar, sea, and every creature in you; sing, earth, and all who live on you!  Clap your hands, you rivers; you hills, sing together with joy before the Lord, because he comes to rule the earth.  He will rule the peoples of the world with justice and fairness."  Psalm 98:7-9

Hey all!  One of the unique things about teaching at Doulos Discovery School, is that every September we have an Outdoor Education Week.  This year I had the privilege of taking the 4th and 5th grade students camping again.  We hike with our backpacks up a mountain in Manabao and camp at a site for 2 nights.  During this time the students have classes to learn about the environment around them, reflection time to enjoy the Lord's creation, and plenty of time to play and be kids!  Below is a link to YouTube - it's the only way I could figure out how to upload the file.  Enjoy the slideshow....there is a surprise at the end!
