Yay! I made it to the DR last night. Flights were not bad...
I got in to my temporary room in Hoya del Caimito; it's in a GO Ministries house. Currently, I have the room to myself, though tomorrow, I think another intern will move in to share it with me. The house is very nice. We have running water and electricity! Praise God! The weather has been very humid. Last night, in my bedroom, my thermometer read 85 degrees. Thankfully I now have a borrowed fan! The neighborhood here is much louder than I'm used to. Last night the Dominicans were out on the street until after midnight playing music, visiting, and shouting. Also, I got to eat a passion fruit last night...think I'd eaten one before, but can't remember. It's very sour and slimy...very interesting.
Today, we went shopping at the main stores in town and picked up another intern from the airport. I saw the biggest carrot I've ever seen...I will be posting pictures!
I am pretty tired now and trying to process all the things I'm learning about this culture...so I'm running short on words. I will try to post as much as I can.
Again, thanks for your prayers! It's amazing how much I can feel God's peace in my decision to be here.
