Day 3!

So today was the first day that we went to our sites, mine being physical and developmental theropy at the school Genesis. We arrived and were greeted by a few of the students and one of the teachers Maribel, who is the sweetest person. Our orientation consisted of walking around the school and getting aquainted with our surroundings and the students who are adorrable and make me laugh. First thing this morning a girl named Milldrid came up to me and gave me a hug and continued to climb and sit on my lap. She is the cutes thing ever! Because we really didnt have any theropy sessions planed today I sat in on Maribels class of students which was so much fun! I helped this little girl with her math homework and I feel bad but I couldn't understand the name she gave me so I will try again tomorrow. In the next few weeks when we have teams I will be helping Amy out a lot with the theropy aspects of the school as well as getting to know the students comming through. I am really excited to see all the groups this year and be able to interact with them.

After a wonderful lunch of rice, beans, and chicken, the traditional meal here, and it was delicious, we finished out our day in the class rooms untill the students started to leave for home. We had some down time before dinner tonight so we took the hike up the path behind the base, and it is a hike uphill but totally worth it for the view of the city!

For dinner we had Pico Pollo which is like fast food here, but it is chicken strips and tostonas which are fried plantains (dont know if I am spelling this all corectly or anything lol cus my computer thinks everything should be in spanish lol) and are very very good!!! Dinner was followed up by a game night at Josh and Vicki's house were I learned how not to play dutch blitz lol, and we also played a game of catch phrase also really cool!

As a day in a whole it was awsome, full of laughs with the students and Josh, Vicki, Amy and of course Jeff and Beth!! I cant wait for tomorrow. Its a holiday here so we are going to drive around the mountain and see all the sites as well as the waterfall, very cool! Have a wonderfull night and I will update you all tomorrow of my time here in the Dominican Republic!!! God is good and I cant wait to see what He all has in store for me here!
