I have been home for the last 48+ hours.
I returned home late Friday/early Saturday. I encounter many delays during travel; however, did not miss a single flight!
In the DR our plane was late arriving which meant that I landed at MIA - Miami with just under and hour to clear customs and hightail it to my gate. Thankfully my flight was also delayed in Miami due to lightening strikes. So I made it to the plane and boarded 2 hours later than planned.
Since being home I have been extremely busy studying Spanish, reading ESL curriculum books, planning for camp and readjusting to a life of "luxury" compared to my DR habitat. It has been weird to drive and go to stores, but thankfully any culture shock has happened someplace out of the "public" eye.
Anyways, I am busy working for NISRA and SEDOM this summer like that previous 6 summers...that's a long time to be at the same summer job, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Prayer Request Box July-Early August 2009
School - The new incoming teachers as they adjust to leaving home, adjusting to a new culture, and teaching in a new environment.
Returning Teachers - That we will keep the passion that drew us back. And that our love/concern for the students will grow.
Administration
Students - Many of the students while attending a Christian school are not under the same teaching at home. For their eyes and ears to be opened to the Truth.

Why The Dominican Republic?
- Brooke
- Dominican Republic
- I am currently finishing out my first year teaching at Jarabacoa Christian School in the Dominican Republic. Why would I a Midwesterner move all the way to the Caribbean? The answer is simple; God called me here. After visiting Jarabacoa twice with Taylor University (I am a 2008 graduate) I decided to pursue a serious teaching job here. I ended up at Jarabacoa Christian School because of previous TU grads working there. So in August 2008 I set off on the biggest adventure of my life. I currently teach 3rd grade and love my students. God has called me to another year here at JCS and I am so excited! Next year (2009-2010)I will be teaching 2nd grade and couldn't be happier. Thanks for taking the time to stop by.
Various Ways to Help
I am in need of prayer warriors who will help support me spiritually and pray for my students.
Below I have listed some ways to help financially through gift cards and checks.
Even just dropping me a note is a great way to help...it makes me smile. :)
