Monday update: Today was our last full day in the Dominican Republic. We left from Score at around 8:30 and headed to where our boat was. When we arrived, there were many people-a lot more than last year- and we started towards the island. Before the island, we jumped off the boat and snorkeled. There were a couple small jellyfish, so there were little stings but nothing too crazy. After that, we arrived on the island and some good food: rice, potatoes, spaghetti, chicken, steamed vegetables, and bread. While eating, we were all swarmed by bees, especially Wh**ey whom Jaden spilled Sprite on. The rest of the time on the island we spent in the water talking to each other, playing chicken, doing flips, and playing games with strangers. After a fun time, we left the island, and while on the boat, many of us talked to a young Argentinian women about her life and religion, telling her more about Christ. On the way home, a few of us felt sea sick, like Macklin who threw up off the side of the boat. We arrived back at score, played in the pool, and did some street ministry. We found a couple of kids, and we played baseball, threw Frisbee, and did a fan favorite, "Pato, pato, ganso." We ended the night with some group games before going to sleep to wake up to an early sunrise service.
