The first one (July 5th): Going from the airport in Santo Domingo to our launch training site; 50+ people and all of their gear crammed into one school bus.
 
The second one (July 10th): a little “day in the life” blog after we’ve gone from the launch training site to the place where 7 teams, including mine, are staying while we do our ministry in the Dominican Republic.
 
I’d like to dedicate these blogs to Johnathan.  We discovered right at the end of launch training that he won’t be joining us in our travels.  We love you and miss you brother!
