The girls at Lance house enjoyed another fabulous Dominican meal, beef guisado take 2, prepared by Nina! After wards, the Geyers and dinner guests, Grant Anderson and Jessica Sullivan, taught the girls how to play the card game pinnacle.
TKB played Cranium with 2 teams and "stuffed our faces with desserts (mini cheesecakes, banana wafer pudding, and popcorn), " according to housemom Leah Cofield.
Sunday afternoon:
Lance house continued with their card playing frenzy and played spades, gin, pinnacle and various other card games.
TKB boys played basketball, hockey and ping-pong.
Monday free day:
Lance house worked in the garden, played cards, went into town for lunch at a Dominican restaurant called Rico NeNe's. In the evening, Mr. Anderson came for dinner again and everyone enjoyed orange chicken. Most nights the girls have been doing group devotionals in which they study the bible together and have a discussion.
TKB got to sleep in and lounge in their PJ's. They had a big brunch (blueberry muffins, peach braid, pancakes, bacon, fruit) and then caramel popcorn while they watched G-Force. Later, some of the boys worked out, while others played board games. They also went into town so they could shop, then had a corn hole tournament, which Brian and Cody won.
Last week all of the students worked really hard doing projects around the Escuela Caribe campus during work week. They scrubbed and painted the outside of many of the buildings on lower campus, and worked in the flowerbeds pulling weeds and beautifying the lower campus. Here are some photos I snapped of some of them as they were walking by (transferring loads of banana bread for incoming mission teams to another freezer) as I was pulling out of the parking lot :) (Yes, you can think of me as the Escuela Caribe Papparazi! I pop out of unexpected places with my camera ready to photograph the students!)
And now, full steam ahead for summer! The summer program officially begins on Monday. In the near future, I will highlight some of the upcoming activities, which are focused on serving Dominicans and those around us, understanding and appreciating the host culture through various kinds of interactions, working alongside incoming, short term mission teams and learning about and enjoying many of the sights this island has to offer. It should be a glorious time of growth for all involved!
