Dominican Day #1

Note to self: Learn how to speak spanish

Note to readers: It is really hot here

So here I am, sitting on a couch in the guest house at the Elias Satana Hospital in Los Americanos, Dominican Republic

I’m a little overwhelmed by the events of today but am excited nonetheless for what is coming this week. Here are just a few highlights of the day

2:50 Wake up to leave for the airport, first need to pick up Dwight Silvera and then off to the Dominican

9:15 Land in Miami – 3 hours till connecting flight, spend the time talking with Dwight about life and God’s plans…Almost missed the connecting flight (really!)

2:30 Arrive in Santo Domingo and pick up by Fellowship Doctor Chingkup and his wife (who is a resident) Sharon. As we drove to the hospital (note to readers: drivers in Dominican are crazy) Sharon and Chingkup told us about their life in Dominican and how they both came from India and have a great desire to go back and set up a clinic there.  Their love for what they are doing and desire to serve God was evident right away and I’m looking forward to seeing them again this week.

5:00 Had a wonderful dinner and now just relaxing for the night with Dwight (he just showed me a video of cataracts surgery REALLY COOL

hopefully I’ll post again tomorrow

thanks for all your prayers
