The Ascent July 3-11

July 4th - Happy Independence Day


so today was our first full day in the DR. it was pretty sweet! we went to a local church in santo domingo this morning. it was cool but soooooooooo hot. then we had a 4 hour ride to the guesthouse...long and hot but wasnt too bad i guess. when we got to the guesthouse a bunch of us walked over to a local little village to meet some of our potential VBS kids. it was fun :) we played football (our football, not theirs) haha. it was good times but the best part of the day was right before dinner. theres a little basketball court here and a couple of us went to play, but right after we started playing it started to rain. now most people wouldnt play ball outside in the rain but we sure did! after about 15 minutes it was literally monsooning on us. hardcore, downpour!!! but we didnt stop! it was truely epic. by far the best way to start off the week. we enjoyed the rain because it probabley wont happen again. so thats it for the first day. i know that this year will be just as amazing as last year.
