The Dominican Republic: Day 1

The post you’ve all been waiting for! Well, maybe you were happy with the video, but here’s the details anyway.

On the bus! Look at us in our matching T-shirts. Spiffy.

We met the rest of our team in the airport, and then hopped on the plane!

It was so cool flying over the beautiful country of the Dominican Republic.

We were picked up in this truck and enjoyed a bumpy ride to our hotel!

We had not expected to have such nice accommodations!  It was great to be able to have a vacation here too when we weren’t working.

The beach was beautiful, and we had a ton of fun swimming and snorkeling in the ocean.

Our team was great! There were a total of 13 of us. Here’s mom with Nin and Kim. Nin is from Florida, and Kim is from Canada.

When we all arrived at the hotel, we had a meeting with the missionaries we were there to help, and we found out what to expect for the week. We took a swim in the ocean and then just hung out. It was a nice relaxing day to help us get settled in.
