Safe at "home" in the DR

Well we're here, we have arrived safely in the Republica Dominicana, (Our home for the next three weeks) along with Paul and Leslie Bartels and family who landed just an hour before us. The weather here... not too bad, not as hot as it's been before, bearable, which is good. We spent the day helping Paul and Leslie get settled back into their home, cleaning and fixing things etc. As well as playing with the kids and grocery shopping. We are staying right at Paul and Les' which is great, it's an active household and we love each and every one of them, the dog a little less but he's growing on us.
Some prayer requests:
The Bartels family who is settling back into life here
The deBruin family-friends of ours from the missionprep course who along with their three children flew to Bolivia yesterday to work their for three years.
Our Creole, we are hoping to get a tutor in the next couple of days
That we don't get sick!
and thankfulness for a safe flight and a good first day.

The blog's a great idea! I'm glad to hear you arrived safely. I was driving past the airport at 6:30am the day you left and thought about you. We'll be praying for you!

I wanted to write something on your blog yesterday, but I've never really done any blogging before. I wasn't so sure about blog etiquette. Is it like eating at dinner? or going to a party? You don't really want to be first? Wasn't too sure, so I decided to wait a day. Didn't want to look like some blog geek, y'know? :)

Anyway, keep us updated!
