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!

... game of dominos which seems like the hardest game ever. They would firgure out who won by what was already played long before i was anywhere near finished with the game. after 30 min of playing i finally won a game and we promptly stopped playing. I finally went to bed around 10 long before the party ended. Which leads me to something i should have talked about while ago. Jamaicans all have gigantic sound systems and most of them play it at all ...

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).

... In July, I took the Green Club students and other students from the school to Negril. Negril is on the west coast of the island and it is a hot tourist site. I took the students there to learn about coral reefs and the importance of protecting them. After the lecture we took a glass bottom boat ride out into the sea to look at the reefs and the other sea creatures that live underwater. It was a lot of fun. The students really enjoyed themselves and they also ...

There is the remains of the great house nearby - a bit difficult to get to: it too going to rot or loss at the hands of those who don't care. Head on into Buff Bay. Note: Had you taken the B1 over the Blue Mountains you would have come out here. You would have passed by and maybe opted to ...

... no matter what I'm worrying about, the children here save me [emotionally]." Several nodded in agreement, saying that the children newly aware of their HIV status often express fear for the welfare of the staff. "They worry when we drink from glasses they've used. 'Auntie, please don't use that cup,' they say. 'I have used it. I don't want what I have to hurt you,'" one of the nurses recalled. Even when the nurses explain that they can't ...

... plan.  We live in a two story, cement home.  We are not near the coast.  Bars are on all entries to the home (windows and doors) and if the storm gets particularly bad and we lose power, we'll be staying together in the downstairs living room area (away from windows and in the center of the house).  It is the safest place to be during such storms.   If you want to keep abreast of Gustav's path, the following website ...

... intending to use the change himself or lend it to Gordon. "How much to send a postcard to England?" I asked the lady. "Fifty dollars" she said, holding up five fingers to confuse the issue. "I'll have two, please." I then went to apologise to Trenton for spending half his cash; he'd withdrawn less than two pounds! Then there was a protracted period while Trenton tried to "buy" and envelope by chatting up a young lady at the philately ...

... is slow in reaching the remote areas. The major govt. relief is currently focused on helping schools and clinics reconstruct as well as working in the most hard-hit portions of the country. Meanwhile, N.G.O's and the like are working in the balance to help the most affected. It has been an important learning process, but rather exhausting as well. Three weeks ago we were headed to a Habitat for Humanity Jamaica retreat, when we stepped off a bus and into a pack of thieves and I ...
