Water Filtration Demonstration
We started the morning with Dominican eggs and fruit that helped cure our lost sleep from the fiesta in Batey Nueve the previous night. They played loud music until 3 am, and we did not attend because the church does not support it. After breakfast, we did our daily devotional and talked about Matthew 13. Next, Christian and Tanner began the water filter demonstration for the families of Batey Nueve. Everyone who wanted to learn was able to put together their own water filter as we walked around offering help. Then we had another opportunity to play with the amazing kids. We had fun with basketball, football, chalk, bubbles, and piggy back rides, all in the scorching heat. After that we had another great lunch of chicken, rice, fruit, and Batey bread straight from the oven. We then said goodbye to the people in the village and boarded the bus for our trek back to Santiago. The five hour ride was filled with music, many naps, and card games. We were welcomed back to the dorm with chicken, potatoes, peas, and fruit. We met as a group and talked about our day. Soon after that we headed to bed and we are looking forward to our sports-filled day tomorrow!
