We're finally here!!!! Our flight(s) went well, though my ears don't handle altitudes well... I was never so happy to finally reach the hotel and our room so I can finally change my clothes after a longgggg day of travelling. I nearly forgot where my passport was as we went through customs, which would NOT have been good, but for the most part everything went smoothly.
So here we are, in the sunny DR, at the hospital before our first day at the bateys. We spent last night once we settled in sorting out all the toiletries, medicines and other toys. It was EXHAUSTING.. Sunday felt like a week itself within a day. I'm so excited to finally get out there today, though. I'm signed up to work in the pharmacy-basically helping give out the medications to everyone with scripts. It's supposed to be hectic, but we can handle it! It's been great so far.

Hey Shyloe, good to hear from. I was a little bit worried but I am fine and know that you are in good hands. I can also see that you are having a good time. I know this will be a good experience and eye opener for you.

Hey, Shyloe! I'm glad that you made it there safe and sound. How's the weather there now? Please do take in each and every experience! As for us, guess what? Aunte Vic sent me a few pic of Iunda the other day. She's a big girl. But anyway, tell us what you did today.

Don't have much to say, but take pictures and focus on why you're down there in the first place: not just to have fun, but to help people.
ReplyDeleteNothing new elsewise....

Hey Shyloe, we did not see any blog from you today. How are everyone doing? How was the second day at the Batey in the pharmacy? We are all praying for all of you to be safe in whatever you do for those less fortunate. Please let us know how your day was spent.
