a great day

hello friends and all. what a great day in the dominican republic. we worked in the hole today with the group. there are a couple of girls there that i hung out with for a while. like 8 year olds. i did a lot of hard work in the sun today and then i got to play basketball for a little bit. then i came back and hung out with a friend from the street. his name is raymir. we had a good time just talking. he speaks english pretty well. and then we messed around on my computer. he likes to rap and we recorded a song. he's 14 and a really great kid who doesn't have a lot of good influences to hang out with all of the time. but that's why you all have sent me down here right? lol

for the next 5 weeks i am coaching in a basketball league that will partin has set up. i like the guys on my team and our first game is saturday. we do devotions with the teams and with the coaches. it's a big out reach especially because it is teaching the kids a lot about responsibility. and we will have plenty of one on one time with them.

i am currently reading the book "Wild at Heart." and i am spending a lot of time thinking about God and my relationship to him. i guess the best place to have revelations is on a mission trip. so keep praying for me, especially right now. i have made so many great friends and have had so many opportunities to show Christ to people.

i love you all. email me sometime. brenton.bellinger@gmail.com
