After your world tips on its side, do you ever really get home again?  Fully?  

The Williamsburg Christian Academy team left more than work accomplished in the Dominican Republic, they left behind friends and family - heart bits.

And there will always be family in the Dominican for the folks who played with kids, dug out the old muck, built a bathroom, painted a home, crafted crosses, and shared coffee con leche among laughter, smiles, and cool breezes.

The beauty of the trip?  The best part?  That will vary from participant to participant; day to day; and with memory.  

We walked beside Christian family in the Caribbean, left someplace a little better than we found it, and pointed new friends to a local church that will nurture them for the earth-bound side of this life.

Thank you, WCA Team, for Allie's first mission experience, and Connie's most recent DR mission adventure.

We are better for the week we shared with you.

Connie & Allie
