Welcome to Jamaica. welcome to the experience of a life time, thank you for supporting this team and your excitement to travel through this adventure with us and God. we are all so happy to be here, and enjoying the heat (ok, maybe just i am;)
the drive to the San Francisco airport was great and relaxing (thanks Jared & Karissa), had an encounter with Santa Clause, who thought we were synchronized Swimmers (Megan was a little offended). Santa set the tone for our trip and the whole evening was full of laughter and much need sleep! we acquired nicknames while waiting to board. Megan-Xtreme , Sara-Brooke, Christina-Gilbert, Laura-Finn. we swore that we couldn't tell where the nicknames came from or else we had to eat them (litterly)
landed in Miami at 4am, CA time. and Everyone was passed out within 10 minutes after getting off the plane, slept for a few hours and watched "she's the man" had some interesting Chinese food. boarded the plane that would take many of us out of the country for the first time or for me back to one of my homes! the flight from Miami to Montego Bay was only an hour, then spent about 45 minutes going through immigrations and customs (shouldn't have brought honey because it spilt everywhere and it was on the list of things not to bring, didn't know that going in). Out in to the hot, humid weather to see Mikey (our driver & close friend of mine). Our room is just perfect, a little Getto blue bathroom, which Megan was able to break the toilet on the first day! a tiny kitchen, but we will make it work. Come to find out two bathrooms, so 7 girls won't be sharing one of the getto blue tub. As we sit in our room over looking the Caribbean Ocean Blue as it pours down, we are so thankful for making it here safely and blessed to have such a wonderful group of people to work with in Jamaica. my heart feels at peace and is rejoicing to see so many familiar faces! Thank You Lord for your Protection.
GOD BRING ON THE RAIN (for the Heat & Our Hearts)
