A view around the mountains

On Thursday, we left a little early for church in Santa Domingo. We planned to go back to the area where we had the baptismal service a few weeks ago and let the kids play in the River, since it was so hot! But...until we got up there, it cooled off and the water was chilly, so we had a few hours to kill, so we drove up the mountain more, I wish you all could have been with us, the pictures can't begin to show you what it was like. I could have taken thousands of them and it still wouldn't compare! The roads were steep! (that coming from a girl that grew up in Johnstown, PA and I was still nervous!) At one point, we were stopped on a hill and the 4runner kept stalling. I thought we were going to go down, and not be able to get up! Thankfully we made it, after the front tires were off the ground. We got back down the moutain in time to visit with the family whos home we use for church, the kids & I stayed there while Jonathan went down the mountain further to pick up another guy for service, had a good service, and then the guys left to go pray with a neighbour of someone who comes to church, so the kids & I were again there with the host family!
