Hey guys,
Made it down here. My roommates are all in and we will hit Ikea friday. It's really interesting because we are in bunk beds. Very different from what I'm use to. My roommates are interesting and in a very good way. we are all a little easy going and out of our comfort zone. They are hilarious. I have a nickname from my roommate Shannon. It makes me laugh because she named me gadget girl. Pull out a knife, a flashlight, a couple zip-ties from your suitcase and you're gadget girl. haha today I actually fixed her sunglasses...With my knife. :)
I'm so glad we are starting to do stuff. Today we did a team building exercise. We have badges and we had to decipher Spanish clues to find them.....It was good and a great assignment. We messed up and had to have a penalty. After that- we had to find our badges. Of course.... we didn't follow directions and ended up having to jump in the pool. yep, with all our clothes on. This picture is the whole group minus one.
I will say that i was very apprehensive about this whole trip but I am content. I had my breakdown day the first night I was here, but ever since then...I realize that in a short period of time I head home for Christmas. I am learning more and more about these ladies and gentleman. They are such an awesome group of girls and I am excited to see what the future holds. Pray for our leader Jaime. She's got a lot of responsibility and leading our team of 12 girls and 1 guy is crazy. She's crazy awesome and what an awesome woman of God. Today really showed that she's got our backs and is apart of our team. It's cool to see a leader jump in too. I was totally not expected that at all... even if we did have to sit in a non air conditioned room for punishment. ;)
By the way, if you're wondering. I am not staying in those nice apartments behind us. Those are guest apartments...MUCH nicer than our apartments. haha
All in all it has been a great couple of days. Tomorrow we go out of the complex for not just the airport or beach. We are headed to Santo Domingo to get essentials because our room is quite small. 10 drawer for 3 girls. haha yep. not enough room. That is the understatement of the year.
More pictures to follow tomorrow's excursion.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention...I killed a tarantula in our apartment. :) haha No joke. Allison put it on Instagram. It has to be legit. Feel free to check out the picture.. Just know I killed it and a girl Lauren drowned it in freakin raid. haha tarantula picture
Pray for sleep and team building.
Till next time.
