Mi Familia!

My new Dominican family is great! They do very well at taking care of me and helping me to understand stuff. My little brother's name is Amos...he is very good at playing the guitar. He makes me feel like I am really his brother because he plays with me and tries to talk to me. My middle brother's name is Tommy (Toh-me). He is funny and always chill. He makes me feel right at home. My oldest brother Set is cool and can play the drums super well! I enjoy hanging with mis hermanos (brothers).

My Dominican mom Laris, is the principle at the school that I will be teaching at. She is nice and super funny and is always asking if I am hungry. (I'm definitely not worried about going hungry here!) My Dominican dad Tony is quite the joker! Much like my real father. :) He is always making jokes and laughing. I feel so welcomed by my whole family and they are taking great care of me! Thank you for you thoughts and prayers!

Con Amor, (with love) Travis

Just Me, My Father, New Friends, and the Dominican

Okay, one day (without the team) under my belt! The Dominican is an amazing place with amazing people and I enjoy being here. However, I know these four months are going to be tough so your thoughts and prayers are most helpful! Thanks!

Adios Ingles!

Tonight is my last night with anyone who can speak English! It is a bittersweet experience because I will miss them but I am excited to start my adventure here. I am praying for all of you and thinking about you. Thank you for YOUR thoughts and prayers, they are most appreciated! Love and miss you all! God bless.

Getting to Know the People

I am having a ton of fun getting to know the people here in the Dominican! We just got done performing our skits for a group of VBS children and they loved it!

Learning to lean on the Lord's understanding as I continue to embark on this wonderful journey.

Day One in the DR

Today is the first day here in the DR and everything is going well! We did our dramas at one of the churches and they really enjoyed having us there. God is so great and has kept everything running smoothly. Thank you for your prayers, they are very appreciated.

This is the guest house where we are staying

Join me in the DR!
