Phew!

The first month went by so very fast!  Amazing how much ministry happened in such a short time.  I am not a numbers type of person but I can confidently say, MANY lives were transformed this month!!!  It was a blast to be part of it all.

This week we enjoy a break from the teams and hope to catch up on some needed rest, play, and connecting with team and neighbors. 

I thought it would be fun to share our top 10 biggest adjustments to living in the Dominican Republic as missionaries:

                                        1. SPANISH!  language is a huge prayer need.

                                        2. Missing family and friends from home- but enjoying mgm team so much!

                                        3. Food- no pretzels on island??? really!

                                        4. No flushing paper down toilet.

                                        5. Transportation- sporting scooters to get supplies is always an adventure

                                        6. Don't drink the water!  Don't  put your toothbrush in the water! Try it for a day!

                                        7. Bugs- MANY of them and they are HUGE!

                                        8. Power goes out daily- sometimes up to 4 times a day

                                        9. Church- LOUD and LONG!!!  and SPIRIT FILLED!!!!  LOVE IT!

                                       10.There's no snow here. NONE! 

 So there you have it.  Hope you enjoy the playful list and look forward to your comments!
