a dedication to God.

A little over a week ago, we had Diego officially dedicated to God in front of our church congregation.  It was a special time in which a passage in Psalms was read and a prayer was given by pastors, Amauris and Lucrecio, on behalf of Miguel, Diego, and I.  Garrett and Anne Boon stood up with our family as Diego's padrinos (god parents).  Garrett and Anne work with Makarios groups and staff discipleship.  Garrett also works with Miguel on the Makarios house project. They have both become very dear friends of our family while here in the DR.  We pray Diego grows to love and respect our God and Creator and to live as a mighty man of God. We rejoiced in this special moment.

What an awesome experience. It's so overwhelming sometimes to think everything is upon our shoulders to guide our children in a godly way but at the same time an awesome privilege. We can't do it without the Lord's help and grace.
