Well we have been in Monte Plata three days now. We had a little mishap with faith missing her flight Monday morning but thankfully she was able to catch another flight and get into Santo Domingo ahead of us.
We spent our first day here resting and getting settled and Rebekah ( the missionary ) made us a nice potato casserole for dinner and after that we were feeling the early morning wake up that we had so we went to bed pretty early.
Yesterday we slept in a little and then spent some time talkin with rebekah about our plans for the time the girls are here. I then took the the girls around town for a good dose of Dominican culture. We took a trip to the bank to exchange money and then to the grocery store to spend the money that we exchanged.
The girls were able to experience some nice Dominican food which included yellow rice with some pork mixed in and a salad, which I did not partake of.
Later in the afternoon we headed out to casa monte plata to make some no bake cookies with the kids. The girls soon found out that the kids like to eat the ingredients just as much as the actual cookies. One of the kids got quite a surprise when she took a little cocoa to eat thinking it was chocolate. Apparently her face was quite comical.
After our time at the orphanage we came back to help rebekah do pedicures with the eighth grade girls. I'm not the best nail painter so I felt bad for the girls who had to have their nails painted by me. We also got to eat some cookies and drink green apple pop which essentially is an apple jolly rancher in liquid form.
This morning we've been in the computer lab making copies and typing final exams.
We'll be going to the waterfall this afternoon and we're all pretty excited about getting in the water and getting some relief from the heat. That's all for now.
