Yesterday was the best day!!

We had a wonderful Thursday! We went to the infirmary, which is like a nursing home/home for the dying. It can be a really difficult thing to experience as many of our students have never seen anything like it before. We tried to prep the team really well and they handled it beautifully! They truly poured out the love of the Lord to the men and women there. We took lotion and nail polish to paint the ladies nails. Many of the team just went a prayed over people. It was truly a beautiful sight. They were the hands and feet of Jesus to people that most of society and even their families leave over looked. You have great kids! We have fallen in love with them! Our staff has been so impressed with their maturity in the Lord and zeal for Him!

After the Infirmary we ate a Jamaican fast food lunch- Juicy Patties and KFC! :) I'll let them explain JP to you! :)

After exploring the town of Port Maria a little we went to a church and spent some time interceding for the country of Jamaica. It was awesome! A really powerful time of prayer!

We then had some free time, some people snorkeled and swam. Then we had Jamaica night! It was so much fun! We ate Jerk Chicken and had a Jamaican dance party!! It was such a fun way to end the week! Everyone really had a blast and it somehow ended with me getting thrown into the pool! :)

Today we are off to Ocho Rios to go the market and Dunn's River Falls. We're excited to meet up with the other team from MoBay today! Please pray for our safety as we travel and climb the falls.

We are really sad our trip is coming to a close. But have had just a really awesome week!
