It's raining, It's pouring.

Well, we saved some money, and thanks to some of you readers, we finally have transportation. One beautiful, X-1000, motorcycle. I thought it would be hard to learn how to balance, switch gears, and not kill myself or any other poor soul. My friend, Daniel Ayra, said that I'm a natural.

The fifth graders have started planning on how to build the stage which they are all excited about. It has rained for about a week now. Therefore, classes have been canceled, and today is our first day back since last Friday. The river here has flooded some areas of Jarabacoa. So, please pray for those people who have lost their homes, and possessions.

MUCH LOVE FROM THE DR.,

MARK AND CIARA





P.S.- PIC'S OF OUR NEW RIDE WILL BE UP SOON.

Here is a picture of my babies with Brenda and to the left my babies just hanging out!
Hi,
Life seems to be settling in here. Brenda and Frank came for a visit last week, that was terrific. It did not rain the entire time they were here, but the weather has ended its sabbatical and has started to pour down rain! Here are pictures of my babies. We had earned five smiley faces in one week, so we had a party and watched Surf's Up. Lola, Mark and I's cat, has joined us in the DR. Please pray for two things this week. First, a little boy in my class has Dengue, a pretty serious illness contracted from mosquitoes. Second, next week 4-6th grade are heading out to Manabao for outdoor education week. Teachers and students will teach/live/breath the outdoors. We will even build the structures that each group (one teacher and seven students) will stay under, and will be responsible for cooking meals. Pray for no rain, and that we impress upon our students how important it is to take care of God's creations! Nos Vamos! (Bye!)
