Mi Familia

I believe some introductions are in order!

This is Angel and Dina, the couple with whom I live.  Both are pastors of one of the Presbyterian churches here in Santo Domingo, and are also notable leaders in their community.  Both have huge hearts, not only for their community and family, but also for their third gringo daughter.


This is Margoth, one of Dina and Angel's daughters, pictured here as she works as the secretary for Juan Calvino Elementary School.  Margoth lives next door with her three sons, and has been invaluable in helping to show me around and get settled.  


Here are Margoth's three sons, Geovanny (12), Augustin (9), and Cesar (5).  They keep me in trouble, while Margoth keeps me out.  We spend most of our time playing cards and shooting each other with bows and suction-cup arrows.


It is such a pleasure to live with such a dynamic and compassionate family--as time goes on, I'm sure I'll have many stories to share about our adventures!
