We got a call one night and the voice on the other end said, " Hi I'm Caitlin's Uncle Frank, She's never actually met me, but I'm here in the DR doing medical missions and would like to come see you guys if possible" So we hung out a day with long lost Uncle Frank! It was fun, he is a DR. in California and has been doing Medical missions to spanish speaking countries for many years. We showed our village and hung out on the beach with him, where he kindly bought our lunch.
Caitlin's brother and his wife were able to visit the very next week. Chris and LaChanda were missionaries in India for awhile and are now in CO Springs where Chris works at his missions home office, (eMi). We enjoyed having them here. We were able to spend quite a bit of time with them and really had fun. They also got to expirience classic DR life when the bus they were on to explore the island broke down.
Our friend Jenny and her dominican husband Miguel have been a huge blessing for Caitlin and I. We occasionally go on double dates and have fun fellowshipping together. Jenny has been in the DR for about 7 years and recently married Miguel. They work for a mission group that does similar things as Kids Alive. Jenny is about 7 months pregnant and we all got together and had a baby blessing party for her up at the Crossroads retreat center with Bob and Jana. Instead of typical baby shower gifts we gave gifts of the spirit that included, music, poetry, scripture, art, and many other creative things.
One of the workers at our school also just recently had his 5th child. Penel is one of my favorite guys at work. Caitlin and I went to visit him and his family. I told him he had enough children now for a basketball team!
