We have been doing well. We are getting more time in the houses and more familiar with rules, expectations, and other logistics. This week a staff member in the boy's house will be leaving to visit home for 2 weeks so Josh will be in the house more and taking on more responsibilities. I have been scheduled on the official schedule and will be working all weekend plus a few days this week. We had a great weekend. Rather laid back. I helped with musical worship on Sunday and then headed to the beach at Pourta Plata. We went with Jeff, Josiah, Jeremy, Heidy, and their daughter Taylor. Jeremy is a house staff and Heidy is quickly becoming a friend as we are both working on our language skills together (she is Dominican working on her English).
Random fact about the DR- cereal is expensive and they don't have corn chex cereals- I went to make puppy chow for a girls night tomorrow and I had to use oat squares and corn flakes. I mean it is still chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar so I'm sure it tastes good!
Saturday we were around the house, did some cleaning and enjoyed a game and pizza night up at "the Schumachers/el Jefe".
Pray Requests:
We got a new boy in the house - pray for adjustment
Josh and I will start to be working more- pray for our relationship with fellow staff, students, and eachother as we start up the learning curve
prayers for knowledge in teachable moments with the students
Sorry no pictures this time. I will work on getting some this week...
