What does Weston do during the weekends? Well, I could stay all couped up in our mission house or I could partake in the beach. I prefer the latter....very much so. Little over 2 bucks pays for my roundtrip public Gua-Gua ride to Cabarete Beach. However, yesterday brought a very unique situation: Ben brought his dirtbike. Our plan was for us two guys to take it up to the beach in order to stay after sunset while the girls took public......BUT we got Dominican. See, the Dominicans love to be efficient with their motos....so much so that whole families will ride on one moped. Well, we had a dirtbike...much bigger than a moped. Ding Ding. We decided to embrace our newfound culture and ride four on the bike. The two girls are about half my height so we put them in between Ben and me. I embraced both the girls while I sat on the tail of our transport device.
The trip was SPLENDID...and I did not fall off.
We spent all day on the beach and ate at this restaurant located right on the water. A few other missionaries showed up that work near our village. Along with the three girls, two Haitian babies and one 10 yr. old Haitian girl tagged along. Both the babies are being nursed back to health by two of the girls. The young girl lives with Rachel because she has not other place to live. You can imagine that a group of 7 whites with three Haitian children could make some heads turn. In addition to multiple onlookers, we were warmly welcomed by the staff at LAX...(they are use to our weekly visits)...and they love the kids. I cannot wait until I meet more young adults in Cabarete so that I can have a ministry there as well. Pray for that.
I love yall and miss yall so very much
