Hospitality

For those who have asked me... ''So, what you think of the states?'' Here is my answer!

After Passion11 my  conception of the States was no more than the FT. Worth Convention Center and  Starbucks and Jake's and of course my hotel but once this nice guy (drove 6 hours from Jackson MS.) took me to Austin for a lil dinner with some friends from the DR and some of his... Then I started to observe scientifically

the American behavior.

PS. I had such an amazing time with all my Mack. friends and meeting with Jody's :) all this peolpe made me feel no more than at home. Especially a lovely lady call Ginger♥

I'm not sure but sometimes driving for 9 hours is not enough to catch up...

and it begins...

Scientific observation no.1:

According to my country when it comes to hospitality food should always be include.

                  

Sad I didn't take pictures of all my meals but in my scientist summary; I love the States hospitality i mean Food!!  Apple dumplings more especially and ice cream soda and Momma Judy's coffee.

Scientific observation no.2 Community:

Dominicans are known for being very outgoing and warm personality so we think the Yankees are just very unpleasant just because we are waaay too salty... ???  lol

                                                                                                

                                                                              ...absolutely no truth!!

I do not know if I was just the luckiest one but people was my favorite thing about this visit to the States!

Although there is a diversity of cultures in the world there is a particular one that is about  loving others, about sympathy, about hospitality, about caring and that is the one a found during this visit...  the culture of Christ!!

Scientific observation no.3:

When I landed in Miami from the DR after a 1:45 min flight (time literally flew out) my first view of the States was a bunch of buildings by the bay and all located in perfect algebraic order and then I heard  ''Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Miami please get ready to land''

Then I thought, this is just like Santo Domingo, but clean and tallest buildings!!!

I was wrong... being back in Dallas and with more time to go out and meet the big city I scientifically discovered that it is HUGE and therefore this affects the behavior of its inhabitants.

The size does influences!!

Coming from such a small country I found it a bit difficult to process how can someone  drive 45 min to go to work in a building of 25 floors, and then the same back to be caught in traffic for hours!?!?!?

At the end of my scientific observation I aptly conclude that:

I bet there are many people who are lost in this daily routine, but I praise God for all people who do that day after day and still mantine their priorities in the Lord and keep their eyes on heaven.

''Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.''Colossians 3:2

PS. I´ve realized that the world is pretty small ;)
