I am Stateside!

Yeah, I'm back in the 'states' here for a little visit. I tried to surprise everyone, and I think they all were.

I will be up here in the cold until the middle of January, then I will be heading home.

I still have about 3 or 4 more sets of pictures in my catch-up series to post, so hopefully I will get a chance to use the slightly more reliable internet up here to post them all.

Also, now would be a good time to send some greetings to my cousins Chad and Michele in Ecuador. Now, we all know that the DR is way better then Ecuador, but their blog is still pretty cool. Here is the link so you can all go check it out:

Lost In Ecuador

Enjoy!

Part 3: Preaching

Obviously, we go about the preaching a little differently down here. First of all, the transport is a little different.


You never know where you will have to go. Yes, I am going to a house here. Three actually.
Some times it involves crossing streams.
Sometimes rivers.
Most of the time mud.


But we can´t complain about the results.


Yes, that is me being fed by my study, on the beach.
I don´t think anything more needs to be said.

Part 4 coming soon.

Part 2: The House

Well, before I dropped off the map (or at least off my blog), the last I posted was about moving to a new house. So, here is a little view of our new house, which we have settled into quite nicely.

I know you may have already seen the little video tour, but the place looks much better now.This would be the kitchen, in case you have trouble figuring it out.

And the rest of the upstairs:


This little breakfast bar that we built in the kitchen is actually where we eat most of the time.
If you know what a slackline is, you will go "hey cool, they have a slackline in the driveway." If you don´t know what a slackline is, don´t worry about it.
As you can see, we work really, really, really hard all day long.
Stay tuned for part 3.

Part 1: The Wedding

So here you are. As promised, I will start filling you all in. The original plan was to post every other day or so until I get caught up, but uploading all of these pictures I realized that it make take a little longer then that (the internet is not very fast down here).

I was thinking about trying to go in order with everything that has happened over the last month and a half, but I figured that everyone would want to see the wedding pics first. So here they are. Note: these are not the real wedding pictures. They are just a bunch of snapshots from about 4 or 5 different cameras, including some cellphones. If you want the ¨normal¨ wedding pictures, you can wait until the actual bride and groom show them to you. Even though, I will start off with my favorite:
That was the only one that was any good; the rest are just ugly mugs.



I think that everyone had fun at the reception. This is our roommate Eric for those that don´t know.

Very sophisticated.
Or not.
The food was great. I just had to take some pictures of these center-pieces made out of fruit and veggies.

I just realized that in all of this there is not one picture of Debora´s face. Oh well, like I said, these are not the real wedding pictures. I have 3 different peoples pictures from the ceremony, and none of them are really good.

Well, thats it for the wedding, stay tuned for more.
