The Mission Montellano 2015 Team is now back in -15degrees celcius Canada, BRRRRRR. But our hearts are still warm with the memories and friends we have left behind in the DR. My head is buzzing with all the people and things we have been doing and plans for future trips and details. Every trip has been different in so many ways but one thing has stayed the same: The call we have to serve the people in Montellano! The Partnership that was established in 2005 is strong! Many lives have been changed forever on this trip! I am super proud of the team! It has been an absolute joy to serve as your leader!
DIOS TE BENDIGA! PRAISE GOD! MAY ALL THE GLORY GO TO HIM!!

"It is finished"
As I reflect on our time here on this beautiful and warm starry night, I am reminded of the verse from Phillipians 1:6: "And He who began a good work (in Pancho Mateo) - emphasis mine) has carried it on to completion." Praise the Lord!!! I marvel at how God provided the right people, resources, and everything we'd need to complete the building of the ranchero (right down to the weather!) Only a short year ago, this project was nothing more than a distant dream God placed on my heart; but as our faithful God always does, He provided the way for us to join Him on His mission. I am so humbled and thank you so much Heavenly Father!
It has been an absolute honour and JOY to serve our Lord Jesus Christ alongside such a wonderful, compassionate, generous and selfless group of people. I am so thankful for everyone on the DR 2015 mission team - you guys rock!! :) The blessings I experienced on this trip are too many to list, so perhaps I'll just share one of the most important lessons I learned here: LOVE is the most important thing in our lives. We must value relationships over accomplishments and take time to "be present" with people. At the end of our lives, the only thing that will matter is our relationship with God and our relationship with others (so we must love well!)
Thanking God for the new friendships formed, old friendships strengthened, and looking forward to what is yet to come!
For His glory,
Nelly :)

Our last full day on DR mission 2015
After attending a worship service at Templo Biblico with our sponsored children, we spent the afternoon playing with the kids, talking, and sharing a tasty chicken lunch. It was completely delightful.
Please pray for a safe and efficient flight home.
