We are back in the Dominican Republic! We got our internet set up today. We got here last Thursday. The Lord helped us so wondrously! None of our checked in baggage was overweight and we got through security with no problems. Everyone was kind and friendly to us - not always the case.
Our flight landed a half hour earlier than scheduled. We were the last ones off of the plane because we sat near the back, and it was easier to let everyone else go before we tried to ferry 6 stuffed carry ons and 6 personal items and 4 kids off. When we got to the customs line, no one was there and so we walked right through. We got to the luggage belt and our luggage had already been pulled off and some guys were waiting there with it. We loaded it onto carts and walked out to the curb, where our taxi was waiting for us. Doug called ahead and scheduled a Christian man with a large vehicle to come pick us up. That made us feel better traveling out of the airport at 10:30 at night!
We were on our way to a mission guest house 15 minutes after the original time our plane was to land! We did not go to our house until the next day since we knew we would have to move furniture, wash sheets, etc before we could sleep there.
God has been so good to us! The church is alive and well with good reports! Several people have gotten saved and several more are making steps toward God! These answers are a result of our ladies' prayer meetings. They are holding daily prayer meeting at the church Monday through Friday from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. God is moving and they are encouraged! Thank the Lord!
More news and pictures coming later.........

Dear Doug & Kim & Family,
I am in Santo Domingo overnight. Would love to see you if it is possible but I don't know how to contact you other than this. If you get this message and have the time I would like to buy breakfast or an early lunch for the family at the airport in the morning, Monday, February 8. Bro. Mike Weaver and I will be arriving at the airport around 5:00 a.m. and I will be there until around 10:00 a.m. I'll wait most of the time in the dining area just in case it works out for you. May God bless you all! Keith Ledford mckledford@gmail.com
