WE'RE HERE! PRAISE GOD!

After traveling from 5 a.m. to nearly 5 p.m. the MCC-DC Dominican Republic Mission Team arrived safely at Las Americas Airport in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. What a blessed arrival it was! They were tired and excited. On the U. S. end there was some confusion about the number of bags that got on the flight, but upon arrival all the bags were accounted for. With that being as close as the group came to experiencing a glitch in their travels, we are praising God for their safe arrival.

Tomorrow morning we head to the schools at El Tamarindo and La Urena. Before going we'll have a group up and power walking at 5 a.m., breakfast at 6:30, and boarding vans at 7:15. Even with this early schedule, the hotel is humming with excitement tonight! I may have to "put a few folks to bed."

Blessings,

Phil

we are hear!! the kids are AWESOME and oh cecelia and i had the BEST time with them today. we have gotten them started with their scrapbook and taught them "Santo, Santo, Santo". our group of 20 range in age from 6-12 and their teacher, Patricia, is just really sweet and kind.

it is HOT, HOT, HOT here in the daytime but Timoti y Filipo have been keeping us up with plenty of water. and the food is AWESOME, and with the heat, we probably won't gain any weight. lol i think i must've sweated off a good ten pounds today! woohoo! lol

gotta go! hasta luego, mi familia!
