The girls have gone

The girls took off this morning around 4:30. I mustered up enough energy to wave them a friendly goodbye and went back to sleep. I vaguely remember Sarah giving me a high five through my mosquito net. Our time together was really good. We were able to have a lot of fun at the orphanage as well as have some great Bible study times with the kids eager to participate.
I spent this morning sleeping and washing sheets and towels. Rebekahs parents are here visiting her and it's been a lot of fun getting to know them. I moved my massive suitcases into rebekahs house today as well and spent some time getting organized, but I'm glad to be living with her and the girls and having a good time.
The political scene has still not settled here in Monte Plata. We found out on Monday who won but then the next day we found out there had been some cheating so there were riots in the center of town and threats to burn down the town and a continous stream of canon-sounding fireworks that many times seem to be going off right beside the house. We still don't know who won.
It's been a really hot day today but things seem to be cooling off which means rain is probably on it's way.
We're having dinner tonight out at casa monte plata ( the orphanage) and I'm secretly hoping for some fried chicken specifically Juana's fried chicken but I'm sure whatever it is will be great.
