hey guys. i just got back from the DR. it was awesome. on the last day before we went to the airport we got to go to the market again and i got a dagger.... muahahaha.... i bet they questioned that one in customs.
the title of the cut comes from the trip from the airport....2 hours crammed like sardines in a van... so much fun!!! there was a group of people at the compound where we stayed all ready but they were only there for a few days. i only really talked to dana (it was a guy) and larry, a guy the kids in the neighborhood called papa noel (santa claus) cause he had a big beard and he gave the kids toys
there were kids all over the place every night and it got kinda hectic sometimes but somehow we managed. all of the people were so welcoming and kind it was awesome.
the people we met while we were there were awesome. i met a dude named hilter.... its ok his name is harrison hitler and hes an awesome guy. then theres the twins stephanie and yessinia (i think thats how you spell it, we just called her jesy). the twins were our interpurters for the time we were doen there so we all really got to know them. harrison helped a few days and astrid (the twins younger sister) hung out with us a couple of days and helped out. there were other youth from steff and jesy's church that wouldcome and hang out occasionally too. another thing that was cool to see was the people that jack and debbie had met when they had come before and just see the connection that they had with those people.
then there was luis. he is the kid that our youth group sponsers through an organization called compassion international. we got to spend the day with him at the beach and even though he didnt really talk alot his dad looked happy enough for the both of them.
did several bible schools, went to 2 beaches, checked out the rock quarry/sand mines once, went to a couple markets, painted, hung out with people
we lost pepe', phil, larz, and jimmy.... very sad times.
explaination:
pepe'- roach the guys killed the first day that we hung, cremated, smashed, rehung, and "voted off the island"
phil- a neon green spikey ball that we got for 50 pesos at a market.... he was lost at sea *tear*
larz- spandex gloved filled with water and had a face drawn on it... i think brandon busted it
jimmy- pile of dirt that was around for serveral days and then got ran over
