A snapshot of life in Banica...

Yesterday I was proposed to twice (wonderful natural romanticism of Dominicans :) In the evening Tom and I prepared dinner for the bishop (enchiladas and a birthday cake). This afternoon I had a close-call/scare driving to one of my classes in the campos and had to be pulled out by a truck, then arrived to meet my class. I asked them who Jesus was and they said "a boy." Then I asked them how he was different from them who are also boys and girls. They said "he was white." So we started from scratch. Now I am off to teach the violinists about how to read music. Please pray for me!

Hah! How many cows, goats, etc did he offer you? Don't settle for less than 100 head of cattle; you're worth every one! :)
