Felicidades and thank you for serving your Lord and Savior Jesus.
Learn as much Spanish as you can but if you don't get everything you will when you get there.
Be prepared to eat lots of rice and beans, platano and other foods.
You can take some medicen that might help you in case you get a baterial infection. They sell some natural medicen that is good
to protect you against bacterial infection.
The best thing you can do to work on the spanish discussions so when you get there you will be in a very good situation to teach. This will help you and give you time to lear the language which will come
soon after you are there if you get a good headstart on it.
Suerte y que Dios te bendiga por servir a mi gente en Santo Domingo.
