Another Great Saturday at the Highlands

The boys having a blast before getting out on the field.  It's always a Yankee player that is unhappy.  Just kidding...not really.

Yes, that is me calling balls and strike...more strikes of course.

Wyman taking his first hack in a kid pitch game.  He is the youngest kid out there.  The pitcher was nice enough to groove him a pitch.

Que lo que, hermano!

Again, the wiffle ball game in my front yard was better and more intense than the hard ball game.

                           The day started out with a bang again.  The coaches from Ozoria Park (Boca Chica) brought 60 kids to the park instead of the usual 30.  That did not matter.  We had guys hitting in the batting cage, fielding in the outfield of the baseball field, playing a game on the softball field, and again, playing wiffleball on my front yard.  I believe the wiffleball game was the highlight of the day once again for the jovenes (young folk).  I am starting to get to know the kids pretty well and it will be a great day when I can preach the Gospel to them in their native language.  I am hopeful that time will come in March or April.

                        At around 2pm, the satellite tv company that was suppose to come on Thursday showed up ready to install.  Jodi and I finally gave in and purchased it.  It will really help our spanish.  The cartoon channels, sports channels and most of the others are in spanish. We could not believe how inexpensive satellite tv is in the DR.  Also at 2pm, we had invited several of our friends over for a pool party (Labor Day weekend and all). Right before our friends showed up, my young friend Ezekiel showed up and I had to invite him to the pool with us.  At the same time, my friend from Perdenales (near Haiti) showed up.  His name is Eliezer.  He again came 6 hours to our house to get 40 Bibles and some basketballs and soccer balls.  What an amazing testimony to his love for Christ and his people.  How far would we drive for Bibles?

                        Blessings to all of you back in the States.  Have a safe and relaxing Labor Day weekend.  We love you and hope to see you soon. 

Picture of the day: Wyman and his game face. He wore his Nick Markakis Orioles shirt in honor of our guest Beth from Baltimore.
