Today in the Dominican Republic, we went to the "Straw Market," which is in Santo Domingo, the nation's capital. Here, we had the opportunity to put our bargaining skills to the test to try to barter with souvenir vendors, who sold all kinds of touristy merchandise, from coffee and vanilla, to paintings and wooden sculptures. Then, we got to tour with friends, find something to eat for lunch, and visit landmarks in the nation's capital. After our sightseeing adventures, we got the opportunity to visit Score's large baseball facility and watch a Dominican VS. American highschool baseball game. This sports game concluded the day's activities outside of the Score complex, and we headed home. For devotions tonight, we had the opportunity to reflect on our week in the D.R. in a very open and honest manner. I think we all learned a lot about each other and came to the realization that, sadly, we may never see some of our class mates again after graduation. However, we also realized that each of us has been comissioned by God in different ways to spread His word. Tonight was a very touching experience, and I think I can speak for us all when I say that this night in the Dominican Republic will be especially memorable.
