It's been a while. Well I've been really busy dealing with my really intense youth group and some mini projects in the community. For about 2 months I have been helping my youth group give presentations to 8th and 7th graders about healthy decision making. It's been a blast for the most part. However, I've had to battle it out with some very strong youth personalities. I've got one youth that I am always struggling with (I think she is bipolar). One day she thinks I am the coolest person in the world and the next day she hates me. I've realized that sometimes you just got to let things go. Can't change someone that does not want to change.
So I spent another birthday in the Dominican Republic. The youth threw me a surprise birthday party. It was great. There were a lot of pictures taken and lots of dancing. Since I have arrived in my site I have felt very welcomed by many people. It is such a great feeling. Here is a picture of my birthday. Dominican kids are crazy fun!
