We have our High School group in Jamaica. Funny story we thought we were going to be Montego Bay Jamaica but we are actually near new port Jamaica in the mountains. The weather here is amazing. Much better than the Sham. I actually did not sweat much today. We had a great flight down here and then on Sunday we were able to go to a deaf church at the Deaf village. It was amazing worshiping together with those that were hearing and those that were not. Watching people signing for worship was amazing and beautiful. Yesterday afternoon we were able to hang out with the students at the school, which is actually not that many. We had a great time hanging out with them. Today we began working. We had one group that was working with metal all day getting ready to pour concrete. There was one group that was doing concrete and another that was painting. These students are extremely hard working and do so without complaining. The people here are so nice. They do drive on the wrong side of the road and honk all the time though. It was awesome to see all of the people dressed up and walking to church on Sunday morning. Did I mention the weather was beautiful?? We are in free time now and playing some basketball. Our students have already picked up a great deal of sign language and are learning from the Deaf students. They have also given us all our sign names which is pretty cool and funny at times. Our leader Bryant is hurting pretty bad. He had to go to the doctor today and they told him that he had kidney stones... kind of painful. Please keep him in your prayers and pray that he is healed. He has been on the road for 6 weeks leading groups and gets to go home next week, and it would be awesome if he could go home and enjoy time with his family and if the pain left him. Continue to pray for us as we continue to serve. We miss everyone back home and cannot wait to tell you what God is doing in our lives. We love you all. We will have pictures up tomorrow so make sure to check it out.
