What an adventure! Just two days here and so much has happened! The temple is in the middle of downtown Santo Domingo, surrounded by a compound fence--security guard etc. But it is so beautiful! the glass, steeple, floors--wow. multiple races in the temple--French, English, Spanish, Dutch. We went to a Spanish session and it was wonderful. We have met with our president who speaks little English but we communicated fine. Even with bad language we have gotten along okay. But the driving--no rules scary!!!!! We drive each day to the office from the temple--about half an hour--and it,s a ride!! Horns blasting--people turning from all lanes left, etc. We are in a crash course in the office. Hope all of you are fine! Thinking of you!! DAD/MOM

What an adventure!! The temple is beautiful--really--and in the middle of the city in a compound with 24 hour protection. traffic--who heard of rules--I can't believe it. We pray and start out. Horns blasting, two cars turning at the same time left from different lanes. Third world. Even in customs little English. But we are fine. Thank you for your support--so wonderful--letters, packages. Some have arrived. We bought the sweetest pineapple I've ever tasted. Jim/Susan
