Andrea led the second team over to Bonham Springs, where there were about 35 beautiful children. The kids there were a bit more reserved, but by the end of the day, they had warmed up to our team (of course!).
Renee and Vickie had a special cultural snack for us at lunch - sugar cane! You just chew on the sugar cane and suck out the juice - so good!
After lunch, we spent the afternoon working on the skits, dances, and dramas in preparation for the evening service at Exchange Gospel Church. We also took a break for showers at the falls! It doesn't get better than that - so beautiful and refreshing!
Following our waterfall experience, we went to the Exchange Gospel Church for their midweek service.... They don't have fancy instruments, and aren't too concerned about singing in the same key, but these people know how to celebrate God in worship! We didn't know the songs, but we all made a conscious effort to fake it - it was just cool to be a part of it! We had the opportunity to minister in the service with Shackles, sin chair, a solo by Alyse, and a testimony from Sarah. Their practicing this afternoon paid off - they made us so proud :)
Our first night of hero awards went well! Since I couldn't be at all the different ministry sites to see all of the kids, I loved being able to hear the amazing things they did to serve one another and the people of Jamaica!
We're off to a great start!
Love you guys,
Pastor Courtney and the week 2 crew
(I miss you, week 1 crew!)
