sunday...day one in the DR

we made it safe and sound last night. we had a fun adventure and long in the miami airport. after chillin in the admirals club, our flight got delayed 2 more hours due to weather. but we were a little skeptical about the actual reason. robbie's face may explain how we all felt.
strutting her stuff through the airport! love this sassy girl.
daddy's girl!
today we got up and went to church with makarios staff and then headed to some of the villages here. d thompson showed up to surprise the staff. he is here to help them out this week. it was fun having d in the mix.
in one of the villages we went to a store that had items made by haitian women. all of the money that we paid for stuff goes directly to the women so that they can provide for their families in healthy ways.

riding in the gua guas.

then we headed to panch mateo to walk through the village and play with the kids a bit. visiting pancho mateo was all our kids' high for the day.tonight's debrief time was sweet! to hear what god is teaching all of us (including all of our kids) was incredible!!

we miss jodi and wish she could be here with us! more updates to come hopefully tomorrow! oh and have i mentioned that i love it here and i LOVE the makarios staff! kindred spirits for sure!
