Sports in the DR

I wanted to do a quick update to the blog - and since I'm about to be diving into a more Sports-Ministry oriented role with GO Ministries, I figured it would be appropriate to just post a bunch of sports pictures I've taken in the DR over the past few years. Now, I'm not a photographer, I usually just take tons of pictures and hope something turns out so sorry for the bad quality! Hope you enjoy.
