Hello all,
After an unexpected overnight stop in Miami, we finally arrived in the Dominican last Friday. We are having a great time getting to know the people around Jarabacoa. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. We are currently living with the 6th grade teacher, Diane. She is very nice and has helped with a lot of our questions. We hope to have a place to rent by the end of the week, but some things move slowly down here. Our pets arrived safely and are enjoying the warmer weather.
Classes started yesterday for the students, and Mickey has a great class of 5th graders. She is working with Diane this week, and next week she will teach class on her own. I will update again very soon with Mickey, and include some great pictures from this week. I hope everything is going well back in Minnesota too!

I am so excited about the journey you two are on! How inspiring! Good luck to both of you. I will enjoy following your blog entries!
Ben and Mickey,
I just got set up so I can use your blog site! This will be a great tool to keep updated.
I miss you both so much but I am confident that you are where God wants you and am so proud that you have stepped out of your comfort zone and can make such a difference in the lives of these little children!!
I can't wait to get down there and see you and help at the school in any way you need!
Well, we will keep praying for you. Don't get lonely, we are just a blog away!
Love you always, MOM
