We came, we saw, we conquered!  After long non-starts at both Logan and Miama, we landed in the DR - safe and sound; and thanks to Mr. Utter's HB eggs, not too hungry (don't worry Parents - we ate in Miami).  We have wonderful sleeping accomodations, a pool, and plenty of people taking good care of us.  Today, we are in classes at Doulos teaching the Dominican students how to play Settlers of Catan. 

We began our day by leading chapel; regaling the students here with (somewhat exaggerated versions of) our preparations and journey.  We led their chapel with two songs and they taught us how to greet them (air smooches for girls, handshakes for boys). 

Tonight we will be dinner-guests at the homes of school families. Tomorrow we visit a public school. Saturday, we are off to Playa Fronton.  Parents, post some comments and we will try to retrieve them and pass them on.  Not certain when we will next check in on the interwebs, but Henry's phone works if you need it.

Love from the Dominican Republic
