Jake and I arrived in Santiago, Dominican Republic just a few days ago. We were pleasantly surprised that our boss picked us up at the airport and we had a ride to camp. We were not sure if anyone would be there, but everyone has been very helpful. We are staying with a family that we met last time we were here. They are so gracious to open up their home to us and to let us use their car! Jake has felt very victorious to be able to navigate his way through town and avoid hitting anyone, or be hit himself! It is quite dangerous driving around here and people are very unpredictable drivers.So far we have been able to do a
lot of things in this first week. We went to our first national staff meetting in the capital, Santo Domingo, it was an adventure in and of itself. Our friend's car was having issues on the way there and it ended up taking twice as long. As Jake and I are shopping for cars we are being very careful not to end up with a car that needs a lot of repairs. Anyways, it was a fun time to meet the other staff, they are so amazing; it was quite an honor!Here is a picture of Dioni and I. She is an amazing person, she was one of the first student staff members in the Dominican Republic to work with Young Life, or Vida Joven. I am looking forward to getting to know her more, as well as other Dominicans here in Jarabacoa.
Thank you all for your prayers, emails and encouragement on this adventure.
