Santo Domingo and Haina

Hola amigos y familia!

The fun has just begun and we have already had so many memories! Our first full day here in the DR was filled with sorting, touring, and the beach. The beach is an important part of DR culture so we felt obligated to swim the clear, warm, and waveless water. We made the best of it though...
When it came to serving the people of Haini for the past two days we definatly put our blessed minds togehter and created pretty efficient process. This was after our first clinic that was a great learning experience for all!
As a team we have spent a good deal of time together laughing and helping each other discover what missions mean to us and the global church. It has been such a blessing to see the team grow into a family and feel the excitement from our hosts.
Our hosts have been nothing but an amazing blessing. Our main host Rafael has taken a week off to help us out and our other Rafael has been our fearless driver though the streets that make L.A. traffic seem meek. The place we are staying at has been so comfortable and we have survived with only minor attacks from DR mosquitos... so far....
Look forward to some pictures soon and more updates next week when we are in La Romana!
We love you all and thank you for all of your love!

Love,
Leigh and Team DR!
