Hello, family and friends!
5 things we learned in the first thirty minutes of landing in the Dominican Republic (DR): 1) the average person sweats 0.8 to 1.4 liters per hour during rigorous exercise... and also if you land in Santo Domingo in June after a 3 hour flight. 2) the motorbike is the fidget spinner of the Dominican-- everyone has one! 3) the lines painted in the road are truly optional (and I'm pretty positive horn honking is required) 4) you may or may not be greeted in the airport by drums and trumpets and cheering 5) God is great and this trip is going to be incredible!! This group is incredibly kind and passionate about glorifying His work! I'm really blessed to be able to write down our tales during these next days! Day one at the DR has been eye-opening to say the least. There's so many cultural differences and so many different walks of life here. Not to mention the humidity! (Also kudos to my fellow comrades for dealing with my growing hair frizz) Luckily, the SCORE International missionary center is air conditioned!!! (I can't thank God enough for cool air being blown into our rooms tonight!) Tomorrow is our first day at the clinic. After a tiresome day of traveling, we sorted through our equipment and were debriefed on the sort of things we may see tomorrow. While we're all exhausted, everyone is excited for tomorrow's adventure! Prayers that we travel safely to the clinic and prayers for the patients we encounter tomorrow that we may be able to help them with God's hand! Also-- we are getting used to international cellular phone use, so some cell phones may be having some trouble. Don't worry though-- we're all safe and sound (and likely sleeping since I'm writing this after 9pm hee hee!)
