We stayed in Salt Lake to make the departure a little easier. After lots of hugs and kisses from grandchildren, we hurried to sleep so we could arise at 3 to get our shuttle. When we arrived at the airport, we were with MANY young missionaries departing for various places, including the Mexico City MTC before going to Chile. Our flights were good, stopping in Dallas, Miami and then Santo Domingo. All on time! The Buttons met us at the airport and brought us to the nice apartment that they had arranged for us. Another missionary couple had lived in it before us.

| Nicer than we expected! |
The next morning the Buttons fixed breakfast at their place for us and it included fabulous pineapple and cantaloupe. Then we picked up another couple and went to the beach that the senior couples like about 40 minutes away. It was snorkel time!

Yes, here we are really out in the beautiful Caribe! What a way to start a mission!

Glad you figured out what was going on with the Blog. Your apartment looks beautiful! The water looks beautiful too. Being the first to go on my mission in my family, my advice to my siblings was to enjoy your mission and be sure to have fun. Looks like you are having fun! Glad to see it!
ReplyDeleteYour apartment looks really nice! It sounds like the area you are living in has everything you need to support you. Nice to hear the Courtyard is so close, and interesting to hear about the ocean being dirty by the Renaissance! We'd still like to come see you in the DR. Maybe Christmas in the DR in 2014?!
