I am Dominican

I wake up to cocks crowing
I have no windows in the house I live in
Running water?
Bucket Showers
Watch Baseball on TV every night
Get hissed at by girls
Ride on Gua-guas (not an animal)

These are a view reasons why I am Dominican.

Seriously, this past week or so living in Montellano I have begun to feel like I LIVE here and not just WORK. I love the friends I have made so far in the town. Most of them are the Dominicans that are related to Luz, the lady I live with. They are cool guys and I get to practice Spanish with them on a daily basis. I have also befriended the a few other missionaries that live in Montellano. The only other full time guy missionary, Layne, has quickly become a close friend. We have spent a few nights talking just about music, theology, and life in the DR. God has truly blessed me with this guy's friendship. I need the encouragement greatly.

Please pray for me for the following things:
energy for the school day (the sun drains me)
proficiency in Spanish
that the kids will obey me more....ha
unity with the Makarios girls


Much love
