A Burst of Excitement

So life is happening down here. Somethings have changed but many things are the same. I am so excited to be here and to get things started. The house has no sink, but a shower and a toilet. There is no running water, but we have water. We also have drinking water. So... it is different, but now taking a shower is an interactive activity. I already see the areas in which I am going to be stretched this summer. But I am excited, I am invigorated. I truely have been blessed with an amazing opportunity. My excitment is masking the details, but it has also only been one day. I have much to do to be prepared for my volunteers this summer, but it is all doable. I am so glad that Nathaniel is here with me the first week. First of all it would be rough to be alone the first week, but I am glad it is him rather than someone I just met, because my comfort zone is being tested and hopefully growing. I have my Dominican cell phone now, so if you need the number you can email me and I will give you the hook up. So life is happening and I have not had time to evaluate yet, but I will and I will post again soon! Hope all is well with each of you!

Cameron - I'm THRILLED you made it safe and sound to the DR! I have been thinking about you lots so to read your blog is refreshing! Hang in there and don't let the stress of everything get to you. Try to take care of yourself so you have the energy to care for others.

Don't worry, I've started the "list" :) I'll keep track here on my end! Keep your smiles and your ideas flowing!!!

XOXOX

Cameron,

I'm glad you made it to the DR safe.

What?! No running water? That would stretch me too!

I miss your smiling face and am looking forward to your next blog.

Take care!
