Follow me and pray as I help start a school and teach in the Dominican Republic!

We’re Here!!!

(Posted a little late, but as soon as I could download it!)

Yesterday (Tuesday) we went to MFI at 6am…getting there was interesting to say the least.  The Suburban broke down completely, so John and Karen Schaffer pulled us with their semi…showed up in style!  We fly from Exuma, Bahamas to Cape Haitian, Haiti and then finally to Barahona!  Customs took us awhile to get through since they literally opened and searched through every box.  All of my stuff made it through.  Some of Shawn’s Ears to Hear equipment didn’t make it through though.  He’ll have to pay import taxes on that stuff sadly.

We loaded everything into two trucks and another missionary family, the Truel’s, took us to our house!  It was so good to finally get there!  Tons of people were waiting for us outside the door!  I loved seeing so many friends from previous trips!

Then the unpacking began.  I pretty much got my room set up.  Pictures will come when I get everything the way I want it!  By this time, I was SO sweaty and disgusting.  The outside temperature was not bad, but inside the house was extremely hot.  My COLD shower was very appreciated!  Bedtime after that (10pm lol).  Each of us had a fan directly on us so we could actually sleep!
