Now that you know we are both safe (thank you Marcos for calming my fears!) I can tell you a little bit more about Santo Domingo. I learned how to take the public transportation the other day, a little scary mostly because if i get lost i would have no idea how to find out where i was. My first day traving alone i found out later that my host dad followed me to class because he saw how worried i was before i left and he wanted to make sure i was ok. I thought that was nice! I have had an interesting tome trying to find my way but hopefully it will just get better from here!! I am still homesick but i really do like it here. I am glad that its not forever but i will have fun at least these first 6 weeks :o) i feel like i just need to get into the swing of things, i like it when i have rutine! so that will be nice. We have monday off classes to so i get to catch up on my sleep. Well thank you for your prayers for Marcos and I and I look forward to hearing from you, and I will get you know when we do more exciting things like go to the beach :o) I hope you are all well, and Andrea my family remembers you and they look forward to you’re coming here! I am with Betty and Ruben and their daughter Isabella. I think you were with a sister or brother maybe? anyway they told me they taught you to dance and they look forward to seeing you! So again, i hope you are all well!! Nos vemos…

hola from Santo Domingo! I’m here in a lovely home with internet and a 3 year old little girl who keeps calling me Tanya bacause she can’t say Bethany! It was a hard night for me last night, i am still feeling the homesickness and i haven’t heard from Marcos yet, but i am hanging in there, or trying! It really helps that my host dad speaks english really well. So i don’t feel too lost! Well i just wanted to drop everyone a very quick hello and let everyone know that i am here and well and thank you for your prayers and thoughts, Keep them up i need them!!! I would love to hear from you so drop me an emial whenever!

te amo!!

Ok, so this is long over due, I’m sure. I’m blogging (what has Marcos done to me?) and sort of nervous because I don’t think I can ever live up to Marcos’ awesome blogging skills. But as luck would have it we are both going on SST and will be apart for 3 months and need a way to keep in touch with each other and all of our friends at home. So here I am. And after Marcos’ own heart I am even blogging at 12:30am before heading to bed! Now I should make a shameless plug because I am sure Marcos wont, but not only is he graduating from college tomorrow, but he turned 22 today. So wish him a happy birthday whenever you see him. :-D 

Now for the real reason I am blogging is so that I can give you all some information about how to get a hold of us while we are on SST. So you can subscribe to the blog like Marcos suggested in the last post, OR you COULD send us good old fashioned snail mail. I am sure that too would make us smile as much (if not more) that you’re reading our blogs, or emailing us. There is just something about snail mail that makes you feel loved. So with out further hesitation here are our mailing addresses: 

Marcos Kuhns
Universidad de Goshen
Marco Pomacocha 192 
Sta. Eulalia, San Miguel
Lima 32

and 

Bethany Wright

Santo Domingo

The postage costs are $0.84 for airmail and $0.75 for postcards. We hope we hear from you while we are on SST. And we look forward to great experiences. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we travel and meet new people. And we will continue to think of you all as well.
