Dominican Republic de nuevo

Yes, we are back in the lovely breezy caribbean island. After a wonderful Christmas season with our Winnipeg and Calgary kids and grandkids and pets, (yeah, warm communication with the BC kids and grandkids), we again left Jan 4 for Sosua.

We have rented the same condo we were in last winter and have been re-connecting with so many Dominican friends. They always graciously welcome us and it is a pleasure to see everyone again. We entertained the first week back by inviting a family of 5 to our condo for espegetti and meatballs. There was a power outage just after the meal was done so we had our dessert on the balcony by dollarama led light.

There is always a transition time, from closer family & friends times during the holiday season at home to returning to relationships that have grown slightly distant over the last 9 months. It helps when, as in this year, the weather is beautiful rather than rainy for 2 weeks like last year. We are adjusting and are so thankful for internet for communication with you all.

This year, we will be assisting several work groups coming out from Manitoba and are expecting some friends and also some family to come check out the scene and enjoy a holiday. We are excited about that.

We are asking God to direct our involvement and know it will be an interesting time.
