Teach me more!!!

This is all I've been saying lately!

The DR so far has been a whirlwind of an adventure. Here's how it goes:

We left our briefing at Hope International University Thursday May 24 at 3:45 AM. After extreneous waiting at LAX we finally took off at around 11 am... I think.. I fell asleep. But this flight was supposed to leave at 9. That is where the problem began because our flight from Miami to Santo Domingo was supposed to leave at 7... considering the time change that's when we actually arrived to Miami. Anyways a whole lot of stress and confusion later... we made it to Miami and our connecting flight to the DR... and now I am here!!! Our luggage of course did not want to make it easy on us and half of us, including me just received our luggage about 45 minutes ago. HURRAY! I don't think you understand how amazing it feels to brush your teeth after a day... ya I just wrote that. Confessions of a summertime missionary?

Anyways, the country is AMAZING! The country is crazy and unorganized and a little bit messy... but nothing I can't handle. I mean pina for 25 pesos? YES PLEASE!!! Of course I am going to mention the food... it's so cheap! and SO good!

We toured the campus today with students from Vida Estudentil, which means student life. That is the Cru movement that have at the Universidad. They are awesome!! I do not know Spanish... at all. But all of the students (and all of my team members) have been so helpful. I actually would not even know how to say "teach me more" in Spanish if it wasn't for Jason, my team member.

I am loving the DR so much already!! God is totally moving in me and the students and I am excited to see what He does in the coming weeks. I am learning so much about my comfort and the comfort of Jesus. I kinda came to the realization that God is with me everywhere I go.... Ya I know they teach that in Sunday School... but sometimes when you try to do things on your own it's easy to forget that God is in control.

So for now, I am going to Holdfast to the strength and the love that I have in Christ and pray. Pray that the amount of bug bites (which I just got my first one) stays to a minimum.

Buenos Noches :)
