We arrived in the Dominican Republic yesterday afternoon. We flew all night Friday night. We flew close to the big storms in the midwest that caused all the tornadoes. We saw some spectacular lightening storms that lasted for hundreds of miles.
We went to Church today in a little branch that meets in a rented house. The people were very nice. It was a very poor part of town. I will add some pictures tomorrow. Tonight three of us women walked and then parked ourselves on some cool swinging "beds" out by the pool. It was so peaceful and pleasant out. Geckos ran along the top of the awning made out of sticks.
We will start to teach tomorrow in the Hospital in San Pedro. This town is famous for producing the best baseball players in the world including Sammy Sosa.
We love the team we are here with. It should be a good course!

Sounds more like a vacation than a mission! Wish I was in the swinging bed with geckos swarming...it snowed here yesterday. (;_;)
I am wishing I could be on the trip as well. I am not sure that I could do swarming geckos as well as Rachel but, it might be a good challenge. We absolutely loved our trip with you and hope to go again!
