Things I have learned about myself since moving to the Dominican Republic
Since arriving in the Dominican Republic almost nine months ago, I have learned a lot about myself. I have learned things that I may never have known if I had never plopped myself right in the middle of another culture. Some of them are spiritual, some of them are comical, some of them are just random. I was thinking about some of these realizations the other day and decided to start a list on here and add to it as they occur to me. So...
THINGS I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT MYSELF SINCE MOVING TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC:
1. I love grape pop.
2. I have a fear of turkeys
3. I will never be able to dance the merengue how it is meant to be danced
4. I am capable of getting used to ice cold showers every day.
5. The JOY that God gave me, shows itself in a physical way.
