Jamaica was my very first missions trip. I went with Shayna and Chad for one week and we had an amazing and eye opening experience. The water was beautiful and we went to ocho rios and climbed the waterfal too-it was so beautiful! We also witnessed poverty and need in ways that we had never seen before. We were able to minister God's love to people but honestly I think we all took away much more from this experience than we could ever give!

Owdedo everyone, evriting aight here having my first night with the host family. Its pretty exciting they have a beautiful house. Kids running everywhere, Trying to start learning patois but i feel pretty stupid every time i say ...

I got a ride from the airport to the upper town. After check in, I ventured in the city and was soon offered some "stuff". Oh well, no thank you. The Bob Marley museum is quite interesting and probably the only notable attraction in Kingston (other than this feeling of being in a different country).

... girlfriend ´Ute´ ( not sure how to write!) and we also ran in to Suzy, and some other people from Habana ( Karoll, haha) We stayed in Trinidad untill wednesday than we had to catch another but to Santa Clara. Problem was, that we were there only for one night and arrived arounf 6, so the museum (Che Guevara) was already closed and the only possibility was to take pictures from the statue from prette far away ( and in the dark that is..) but ...

... at Winnifred Beach. There's no restaurants close by (except a couple of places selling rice and peas and the restaurant on the beach which is open only for lunch), so it meant grabbing a cab every time we needed to go into Port Antonio to eat, go to the bank, do some sightseeing, etc. We had some very interesting rides between our accommodations and town, some in official taxis, others crammed with the locals into private cars. There were several other ...

... I went to Dunn's River which is a famous tourist spot in Ocho Rios where people come to climb the river. The river is like a huge waterfall. I was determined to climb all the way to the top. It took me and my friend about 45 minutes but we did it and I was so proud of myself. There were a couple of times that I wanted to turn back. The rocks are slippery and I kept on picturing myself slipping on a rock, hitting my head, falling all the way down and drowning at the ...

... insurance each day and if you incur any damages you pay the first $1200 !!! Can anyone say 'scam' ??? We eventually negotiated to pay a little more with the agreement there would be zero excess required should damage occur. We enjoyed some excellent Jerk chicken with Uncle Smiley and then set off on the 3 - 4 hour drive across the island to Kingston. Gregrian took first driving shift to Ocho Rios where we ...

... the market with him. MON Dieu! What a spectacle. More on that later, so down home and crazy! Foods I'd never seen and man, how to haggle!" After that, I pressured mum to come with me to the Green Grotto Caves. HOLY Cow! Mum was hysterical. I had to give her some Rum punch to get her to go. I found out she is TERRIFIED with bats. And there was plenty in that cave let me tell you! Our guide secretly shone a light to show me one ...

... cycle of spreading what one inadvertently picks up on the bottom of shoes. I use the term shoes loosely. Shoes are just for school, church and maybe, court. Most everywhere else its slippers (flip-flops) that are the thing. So when your Saturday is filled up with reggae music, talk radio, filtering water, scrubbing clothes by hand and negotiating the crowded markets teeming with produce, goods of every kind, most imports- undercutting local goods 30-50 %, coughing from the ...
