Hello all, It's been pretty rough here in Barahona, Dominican Republic. Last night was spent up on the roof of our building watching the shooting stars and enduring the breeze as we talked and watched over the surrounding town. This morning we woke up to bitter 75 degree weather and spent the morning into late afternoon painting murals. (We almost ran out of blue paint, it was a near disaster.) Following our paintings, we went to a concert with lots of different styles of music and people. There was dancing and singing and praising and making new friends along the way. I hope everyone in Ohio is thoroughly enjoying the wonderful snow ;) In all seriousness, I've been having a great time in getting to know the people in the community as well as the people that joined me on this amazing adventure. Every day brings something new and exciting as well as something to think about and change the way I see things all together. I miss everyone back home, but I know I'll miss the DR just as much. See you Monday, Caitlen.
