Last night at 10:45. Still saying Si,Si and thinking in Spanish. What a beautiful language! One of the young men from the "Instituti de Biblica" gave me a copy of praise and worship music. What a blessing and I have listened to it over and over today as I have unpacked, washed clothes, and adjusted to living again in such plush surroundings. Things like paper dinner napkins, bathroom tissue and towels were scarce.
Our Mercy Medical group helped provide comfort care for 850 people, not counting many additional children which their parents didn't register, but wanted to be seen. We reached five villages, the first three in remote areas north west of La Romana. The family is predominantly Catholic and family oriented. Their homes are minute. Babies, children, and young adults are in abundance. Men are dominating for the most part and women are passive. They are a very loving people, easy going, and possess beautiful smiles despite their rough living conditions. The people are either poor or well to do, there are few between.
I hope to be posting photographs from my best friend's camera some time next week but for now photo courtesy http://www.allposters.com.
