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!

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).

... He assured us that it wasn't the first time he'd had to remind her. There's been very little live music here which has been disappointing. All we've heard is what's been on the radio or what's being played in the background in bars or restaurants. (One exception was the singing we could hear from the Winnifred Beach Mikuzi at a nearby church, if you want to call that music. It was bad.) Our guide indicates that concerts in Jamaica often don't start until ...

... mind that they had just suffered a category 5 hurricane and that description could also be used to describe New Orleans after Katrina. The first day on survey our winch began to stop winding the cable correctly so I was assigned the task of standing on the back deck for my whole shift watching the winch, making sure it wound correctly. It was kind of a burden standing in the diesel smoke but it did allow me to see ...

... by taxis, the drivers of which I can only assume have a deathwish as they constantly cut in front just as a vehicle would hurtle past in the opposite direction. I haven't looked it up but I'd be interested to know the life expectancy of Jamaican taxi drivers !!! Maybe if they make it through 5 years they're paid a pension for life ? We met up with Gregrians friend Sophie in Kingston and she had done a ...

Oh Man! Have I taken a lot of pics! Why? Because I need something to let me know that I am actually here! MY GOD ITS BEAUTIFUL!! Have never seen such beauty. Today I'm at a cafe right by the beach. I was waiting to use it and decided to get a view of the water and my eyes actually stung from the beauty. I shed half a tear:) Man....and Men! Hello, mum and I went out to dinner last night at the Pelican and on the way ...

... farmers, with lunch sack over a shoulder and machete in hand are heading for the fields, the birds calling and roosters crowing.

On this walk, I pass all the houses that were surveyed and many that never were. Down the winding roads, red with clay ...
