Hola from Boca Chica, Dominican Republic,

It´s Friday morning and I´ve been here all week on a mission trip. This is our last day with Caminate, the organization we´re helping. We are handing out clothes and shoes and hygiene kits this morning and then going to Santo Domingo this afternoon.

It´s been a great week. I helped with construction. We worked at a school building that had been donated to Caminate. It needs way more work than what we could do in a week, but we did get the cement wall repaired, the inside of the wall painted and some bookshelves made.

When I get home I´ll post a bunch of pictures so you all can see what it is like down here. Hopefully, by Monday night you´ll be able to see lots of pictures. Some of me working even!!!

The weather´s been great! 85 degress, sunny, and a cool breeze in the shade.

Saturday, March 25

Woke up to the rain pouring down. That lasted about 10 minutes and now it is even more humid. We are going to spend the day at the beach today, hopefully. Then, this evening we are going to have a little going away party here at the hotel with some of the staff from Caminate we worked with this week. Will have to get up about 4 AM to get to the airport in morning. Can't wait to get some pictures posted.
Later
