Some fun sights we've seen

Here we are in the capital, in front of the oldest still functioning church in the new world

A moonlight stroll on the beach

The Cristopher Columbus statue in the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo

Cabarete beach, one of the biggest kite surfing meccas in the world

Presidential elections are in May, so the streets are always full of honking cars with flags waving for their preferred candidate.

Sixth Grade Field trip!!

These are some pics from the field trip that I just took with my sixth grade class. We had so much fun. The kids liked the waterfall, but not really the hike back up. One of the highlights of my trip was seeing one of the kids' mothers take off her sandals and hike barefoot. She was even carrying some of the girls' backpacks and encouraging them along the way. Wow, these people are amazing.

Thank you all so much for your prayers, we are doing really well. Next week is Semana Santa, or Spring Break. I am looking forward to a break and Jake will be hosting a work team. Until next time...
