We're Off!

Hello Everyone!

First. I want to apologize to you if you've sent us an email or left us a message in the last couple of days. Rest assured, we've gotten them and will reply (via email) as soon as we can. It's been a bit hectic (to say the least) as we've prepared to leave. But the time is here and it's beautifully hard to go and I'm positive that we've probably missed a couple of details but the hope is that none of the forgotten ones are too big! Tonight we had a fantastic "last night in America" with my mom and my sister Katie. We all wore red, white and blue, at great last meals like Chipotle and Red Robin (where we took a brief tour of the Statue of Liberty before being treated to all kinds of extras by the Red Robin staff who somehow all believed that we were moving to England despite the fact that we told each person who made the mistake where we were actually going!)

So the evolving plan will likely change a bit as we leap headfirst into this amazing adventure. But, for now here's what we know:

1. We leave tomorrow for the DR at 6:10am. After a brief layover in Miami we'll arrive in Santo Domingo at 4:30pm.

2. For the first few days we'll stay in San Pedro with a fabulous couple before heading back to Santo Domingo to attend language school.

3. Once finishing language school we'll head over to Barahona to join the amazing staff already at work!

We are so pumped! God is amazing and there are many ways that He has proven Himself along the way and over the next few weeks we look forward to sharing those with you. For now though pray for us and know that we are praying for and thinking of you. We love you more than you know.

Cheers,
Scott
