Fastest Answer to a Prayer - Ever!

So what do you do when your newly engaged daughter tells you that she just lost her ring at work-and she works in a hospital? I got down on my knees and said a good, long prayer. I knew her chances of finding it were real slim,but I knew her fiance could not afford another ring and I knew how depressed and upset she would be. I have lost 3 rings in the past couple of years(2 cost over a $l00, the other only $10-20), but I know how totally heartwrenched I was! She called me within an hour and found it on her way out the door after she had spent a couple hours looking in gross trash can after trash can, and had reluctantly realized there was no more she could do. This was honestly the fastest answer to one of my prayers ever!
PRAYER WORKS!!!!

Ocean Pics to Thrill Mandi

















View of the tropical, lush, green landscape. There were lots of horses, chickens, and pigs.


The "people movers" we rode in for our tours, very bumpy and windy rides.



Our guide telling us about sugar cane and holding a stalk of cane that they cut open and gave us all a sample. They also make rum from the cane and gave everyone a sample of it.


























As we passed by the locals homes, the kids would run out shouting "hola" and wave.


































Posing by the sugar cane.

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

This is what you get for today! We have so many pics that I will just post a few every other day or so.


The view of the long walk to get to the beach!








View from the left of our room and view behind the bridge we stood on to take pic of the long walk to the beach.


Guess Who!! The most lame mini golf course ever! It was all concrete and lumpy.
