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!

... dont really know what im doing this weekend, going to spend most of it with the host family. Ill try to take pictures and post them on a reall website soon, hopefully ill get some of this house but i need to ask the host family first.

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.

... had to walk through a rain forest to get to each other's huts. It was awesome! We decided to go out and find some food and music. We wandered down the road until we came upon a "set-up", a bar with huge huge huge speakers outside. We hung out for awhile, ate some great food, danced, then headed back to our Huts.
