Today we tackled the mountain and we won!!! Everyone made it to the top of the mountain even Ms Simon & Betty!! It was a great sense of accomplishment. We had fun walking with our new Dominican friends. We observed how different life is up in the mountains. Children walking barefoot carrying large jugs of water for their family and just really homes that are basically nothing compared to where we are living for the week. It was much warmer today without a cloud in the sky. Temperature in the shade reads 92 degrees. We all had a frozen fruit bar when we got done with our walk and that hit the spot. We are all a little exhausted so after breaking into a little of the chocolate that we brought along, the students are resting a bit before heading out to play more with the kids. Tonight is the Easter Vigil Mass at 9:00 pm so tomorrow we will sleep in and then we are SO EXCITED for the Easter party with the little kids.
It is looking like our paint will not arrive until Tuesday afternoon so on Monday we are going to do a little laundry and play some more with the kids on their last day of vacation and work in the bakery. The students are really starting to get attached to some of the people here (especially the little kids). We are having a blast. Last night we spent more time with our families and have lots of stories to share!!

Hi Everybody:)
ReplyDeleteI hope you are all having a great time, it sure looks like it! As I am looking at all the pictures I am reminiscing on my experience. I hope you will find it as memorable and life changing as I did. Keep letting God lead you in the path He has in store for you. I look forward to hearing all your stories. Enjoy the rest of your time.

First off I want to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question
ReplyDeletein which I'd like to ask if you don't mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your
mind before writing. I've had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Thanks!
