The days seem to be going by extremely quick! Today marks three weeks in the DR. Our house is officially becoming a home, complete with plants, furniture and a dog! Let's just say if you mention that you might want a dog...10 will show up on your doorstep. Chiquita belonged to a staff member that was leaving, and the kids felt that it really was our duty to take care of her ( and in doing so..help out a fellow missionary!). Nice guilt trip. Regardless, Kita is now a part of our Dominican family. We are really starting to find our groove here, and although our Spanish is pathetic, we still manage to get the meat, cheese and milk we need. Our learning curve feels painfully slow, but in retrospect we probably aren't doing so bad. Some days if feels as though your head is going to pop trying to remember everything you learned that day!
