No Complaints

So the end of the week went a lot better, I started feeling better and got back to work. Not too much was going on, but we worked on a presentation to teach some of the small "campos" as they call them here, just like a very small town, how to care for newborns and overall health of a baby. Just made some posters for them and we'll actually give the presentations all throughout August and I'm going to get to be a part of them because I'll still be around, which should be fun.

Then Friday came along and I got to head out of work a little early to leave for Santo Domingo with the other interns and we had such a fun weekend. We just hung around one of their apartments on Friday night and then Saturday wandered the capital and then went to a cockfight. Oh my gosh, that was INTENSE... I'm pretty sure it's the Dominican version of horse races, or at least this place was. It was pretty like high class almost, with some people who you could tell were high rollers throwing around some mad cash, ridiculous. Haha but definitely an experience.

Got some good beach time in today because it was freaking amazing outside. Definitely needed it because it rained all week last week, which definitely sucked. So after a long weekend of very little sleep, a lot of sun, and no showering, I'm going to shower and hit the sack early tonight to get back to the grind tomorrow. Looking forward to work, should be a fun week, hoping to get out in the fields as much as I can.

Oh and I would like to add that if people could be praying for my time down here that it will be cherished and that I can really learn from this experience. I find myself going through waves where I am loving the culture and where I am really wanting to be home. I know I have a lot that I am kind of anxious for when I get home and I am eager to get certain things taken care of and I have that looming in the back of my mind a lot. I want to try and push that out of mind as much as I can so that I really can just get the most out of this experience as possible.
