Hey everyone,
I appologize for not posting more this week, it has been an awesome week and we have worked really hard and not had many chances to post this week. But everything is great down here. Tonight Mrs. Kristi is actually going to be posting the blog for tonight. Hope everyone is having an amazing week and thank you all for your prayers.
Hey!! Greetings from Jamaica - one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Not only is the land beautiful, but the people are radiant! Especially the ones who know the Lord. They glow with the love of Jesus all over their faces. This has challenged us in our attitudes. We have also been challenged to really appreciate all that we have. The people here have very little and live very simple lives. But they have such incomparable joy!
We have all been stretched in varying ways. God knew just where we needed to be and what we needed to do. (Doesn't He always!?!?) No matter what plans we make, they are always flexible and changeable.
This team has been "amazing" all week! You would all be SO proud. Everyone has worked hard and made many new friends. They have such beautiful servant hearts. From painting to concrete work to bending rebar, we have all been given much energy from the Lord to do whatever is asked of us.
God has been SO good to us. We have kindred spirits and have gotten along so well. We have truly functioned as 'one body'. Thank you all for all your prayers and support. We really need them and feel them.
We have made some wonderful new friends here with the staff from Team Effort (Bryant, Clark and Josh) and also with Haley. We are looking forward to coming home to our families, but we will miss our new friends and family here.
You will see changes in your teens when we return home. So be forwarned. They are amazing because of Jesus living in them and we love them very much and are very proud of them. !!
See you soon!!
Kristi
