Happy birthday to my brother back home! Wish I could be there for it! One more week left of things as I know them and then it’s time to switch it all up again! We have one more week left of Spanish class so the teachers have been piling on the homework! It’s crazy how much we are learning and how much I understand but as soon as you try to speak it, it’s a different story! Today we spent mostly at the base, getting homework done, watching movies, hanging out with friends, trying to get on the internet, etc.
Yesterday was a lot of fun. It’s been raining here pretty much all day and a lot of the week, but after class two girls from my team and I went for a run in the rain and I loved it. After we finished the run we rewarded ourselves with pica pollo (which is a lot like KFC DR style) and a lot of our team members met us there. We met a guy that’s a missionary to Jarabacoa (they are all over the place) and that works at the Jarabacoa Christian School. Then we walked across town to get….ICECREAM! I was in heaven! It’s really cheap and really good here, but then we had a good half hour walk home in the dark! But we were safe because the guys stayed with us, so we were fine. Afterwards I spent the night with my friend Shelby and her Dominican family. It was a fun experience to meet a new family and see where they had been living! The Dominicans always amaze me with their hospitality. I walked in to their house and was immediately greeted with a kiss, hug, and then treated like royalty. So far if I’ve learned anything about the Dominican people it is that Dominicans love to love… which is exactly how it’s supposed to be.
It will be really sad to leave my family this week but we’ve made a lot of good memories and we will be within walking distance so we can still visit! Hope everyone’s doing well for everyone back home!!

Thanks for the birthday wish! I'm actually on the phone with you right now so I'll get back to that conversation. Getting to talk to you is a pretty good present!
Love you.
