Yesterday was our training day, it was full of conversations, learning about what our trip consists of, and many laughs. At the start of the day we did a lot of ice breakers, learning more about each other and how Schoonie has a good whale sound. We also took time to learn about the organization and prepared our hearts and minds for what God is going to do during this week! We had an early wake up but were blessed with some doughnuts (Shoutout Coach V)!! After arriving to Chicago, everyone found some food to grub on and a few of us played the Alphabet game to pass the time before we boarded for Miami. We had a quick layover with a stressful trip to Subway and then we were off to DR! When we landed in Santiago, we got through customs and were welcomed by the DR heat and humidity and met the people from GO Ministries! Then we loaded the bus for a quick 20 minute drive and headed to our dorms where we will be until Thursday. We were greeted with an amazing dinner of tacos and were very happy to eat after the long day of travel, specifically the pineapple was out of this world! Then we got a little bit of the lay of the land and some tips and then headed for bed to get rested for our day tomorrow! Madeline and Tanner (Twigs)
