Can't wait for the team...

We've had a fun and busy day today preparing for the team's arrival tomorrow! I can't believe it's already time for them to get here. Seems like we just got here ourselves.

Just to give you an idea of our day today, we went to the hardware store, viewed another work site, scheduled another school for devotions, drove in to Ochi, researched a few other free day activities, went shopping in the market, drove back to Port Maria, went back to the hardware store, ate jerk chicken, scheduled our visit to the Infirmary, and then came back to the hotel. Are you tired? Cause we are! :)
We've also planned out the rooming list and now I'm working on the team orientation. We'll drive into MoBay tomorrow to meet the team. We can't wait to see them! We're sure to recognize them because they should all be wearing their t-shirts we got for the team!
We've had so much fun getting ready for the team, but I promise we've been working hard. It really was very beneficial for us to come down early!

Pray for the team as they travel tomorrow. Pray especially for The Kirklands. As they are traveling with their two little boys Fields ( 19 months) and Cannon (3 months). Please pray they can have an easy and enjoyable flight. We're so excited to get to share in their first mission trip! So parents- don't worry- if Fields and Cannon can make it- then so can your 18 year olds! We'll take great care of them all!

I will post as soon as we can get back to the base, but the group probably won't get through customs until 1pm and then we'll grab something to eat in MoBay. Then we have a 2-2.5 hr drive over to Port Maria.

I will also try to post every day so you can see a bit of what we're up to! Thanks for your prayers!
