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!

... why to me and i couldnt really figure out why since there was a guy smoking illecit substances in the corner of the party. I think it has to do with jamaicans associtating themselves as either christians or not. As far as i can tell not being a christian isnt bad as long as you dont expect to get a important job like a teacher.

Luckily, the most gruesome film available to watch this week was more of a suspense movie: Max Payne. It was definitely a rental ...

... Walk through," he said. Without a beach in site, we responded, "Walk through? The lake? The beach is...?" "No, no." He smiled. "Road washed out. Beach. Straight away." Both the elderly woman and her son smiled and nodded in agreement. Karen and I looked at each other, looked at our shoes, and shrugged our shoulders. Okay. Let's go. Leaving the taxi, we asked the driver if he could come back later in the day to pick us up. Exchanging numbers and fares, we ...

... because the shops on the grounds sold delicious patties and ice cream. Our second day in the Kingston area was spent touring the Blue Mountains with Dalwin (aka Skidell), Son's brother-in-law, as our driver. Though an easy day trip from Kingston, the Blue Mountains is a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The mountains are named for the mist that colour them from a distance and their craggy slopes form an unbroken, undulating spine ...
