So far it's been an incredible summer in Jamaica. We've been in the MoBay area, Falmouth, Savanna La Mar, Negril & later this summer I'll be heading down to the Kingston area for some more rural areas. Our staff has been a blast!! Lindsey, Tito, Bri, Rachael, Josh, Dan, Jennie, Matt, & Jen. SOOOOO much fun & they all have amazing hearts for the Lord!! We've been roughing it by sleeping on the floor, no AC, having really diverse groups coming together to serve in new communities here so everything is new to us & Jamaica is so crazy already so it's been stressful trying to figure everything out. But our staff rocks & God has provided everything we've needed.
Got to spend the beginning of the summer in Texas with my fam. Stayed in Dallas & went to Houston to see my bro. Got to spend a lot of time with my friends! As you can see, Sandi had another baby...Maddox! Precious!
This is our new friend Ninga. Funny story behind his name that we made up, it's actually Essa. So, the first night we were at Calvary Baptist in MoBay, Lindsey is getting ready for bed in the bathroom after all of the group is asleep. She glances out the window & sees a guy dressed in all black on the roof, with a machette in his hand headed toward the gir's room. She freaked out & came running back to our room & asked me what color of hat Essa had on earlier, I told her white. She told me there was a guy outside with a black hat on. I got up to investigate & looked outside & there was this guy laying on his stomach in the attack position. He saw us & stood up & started walking toward us, my heart dropped. Then he started waving & smiling & we realized it was Essa!!! So, we named him Ninga. He's been such a blessing! We were histerically laughing. Check out his shirt! He's our security guard at Calvary Baptist Church in Montego Bay this week. His dog attacked me the other night & bit me. :(
