"Working at Women's Social Work site again this year with Daisy (our leader), her two daughters, and several girls that have grown up in the site has been such a blessing! During our time here, we've been able to walk and visit women in their homes, have tournaments with the kids, drink tons of coffee, and make tons of crafts with the girls and women! The main way we get to connect with them is through crafts followed by giving a devotional that goes along with it. Some of the crafts we've made include tiny mirrors, picture frames, and bracelets. And following these, we've been able to share about the identity they can find in Christ, the message of the gospel, and the dangers of disunity and fighting among themselves.Last year and this year I have realized through the devotionals that women from America and the Dominican Republic struggle with many similar things, despite the culture difference. It's been amazing to see how simple lessons we've learned from God apply so nicely to the women we work with."
