Family and friends,
I have seen God answer so many prayers since I have been down here. For two months, I longed for male companionship (I was living in a house with 6 girls). This prayer was answered when I had the opportunity to move to Montellano, where our school is located. As soon as I got settled in, I was greeted by a multitude of Dominican hombres. I have become one of their friends....talking in Spanish, watching poor American action movies dubbed in Spanish, and giving advice about American women. Soon after meeting the Dominican guys, I met a really cool American missionary named Layne. We have spent countless evenings talking theology, guns, and history while the girls talk about girlie stuff. It has also been a blessing to see how God has provided for Layne as he struggled for the first five months until God pulled a 180 on his life. Even at the Makarios school, God has been actively at work. The other week, two kids trusted Christ...RIDICULOUS. Continue to pray for the school and me. Here are some things you can pray for:
the rest of my support: $3000
Spanish proficiency
stronger relationships
more time spent in the Word
Figure out which Dominican woman I am going to marry....ha
Kids will hear and understand God's love during Bible class
So.....who is Neifi? Besides being in charge of P.E. and Survival Skills, I also am a teacher during the Preschool Program. Every kid has a very unique personality. One of these squirts, Neifi, sticks out among the rest for various reasons, but namely: her 50 year old smoker voice and her loopy loopy behaviour. At first glance, Neifi is an adorable wide eyed smiling 4 year old. Yeah she might roll around on the ground or curl up in a ball, but who could resist that cute smile and puppy eyes? Then....she opens her voice....imagine Marge's sisters on the Simpsons. I love her uniqueness and definitely expect a video on Facebook in the near future.
