Well this weekend has been very long but also very fun. This weekend Kirsten and I went to a culture class to learn about the Dominican Culture. We both learned a lot, and the cool thing is we met a lot of really cool people from different places around the D.R. and a couple them invited me to go stay with them when ever i want and we said the same to them. One of the coolest things about this was almost everybody there were Christians and God was really involved in the entire class. Well Saturday night we had what they call a formal cena which is basically a formal dinner, which was a lot of fun. After the dinner they taught us how to Bachate and Merenge which are two types of dances down here, they are a lot of fun. Well Patti, the lady who ran the class, would not let do anything or leave until I danced and she made me dance with her the entire night. It was a little weird considering that she was in her 50's it was just a little weird for me but i had a lot of fun. Well Kirsten wouldn't let me hog the dance floor so she jumped in and danced with on of the four guys the Patti had come to help us learn how to dance and trust me they were really good. Well the party had to stop at 11:30 because the people who owned the place wanted the music off by that time, we were a little bummed that we didn't get to keep dancing. But the funny thing is the music didn't stop the four guys who came to teach us have been singing in a four part harmony together for the past six months. I'm not even kidding you they guys were so good it was unreal. They are all Christians and they lead worship at there local church. Here are some videos for your pleasure. Oh and the next morning they sang a song they wrote that is about a little girl who couldn't find her dad, and they came up with it on the fly it was awesome. Oh sorry the video is in Spanish.

Noah! Very cool music. Also, I'd love to learn merenge. Could you teach me when you get home? (Isn't merenge something that goes on top of a lemon pie? HA!) I'm proud of how you are forging your own life experiences for the Lord, for the kingdom and for yourself. Well done!
