Our trip to the Dominican Republic went well! But…we are so happy to be back home. Here are some quick hits about it and some pictures:
* Patty adjusted over 200 people in two days!
* I learned that Hot Pockets is the official sponsor of Latin American Idol.
* Isaiah flirted with all the Dominican women. One even asked him if he wanted to go home with her. He’s already a ladies man.
* Patty woke up in the middle of the night with a cockroach crawling on her.
* We met two guys from Haiti and it really impacted our life. I’m praying that one of them, Johnny, will email us. His story is something else, and I hope that we can somehow find a way to help him and his family.
* I didn’t realize that Hatians were so looked down upon by the Dominican people.
* We couldn’t put toilet paper in the toilets. You had to put your used toilet paper in a trash can next to the toilet.
* It was definitely an incredibly beautiful country from what we saw.
* Isaiah’s favorite drink is the Bahama Mama (with no alcohol of course).
* It really put things in perspective for us. We are so blessed to be living in the U.S. and all of us don’t need to take it for granted.
