My Name is Seth Thompson

Hello there, my name is Seth Thompson and welcome to my blog. I am going to do this blog to help keep those who I love updated on what is going on in my life as I serve in Jamaica this next month. Missions has been a big part of my life, and it is a passion i feel called to pursue. I have been so blessed to visit and work with the people of Jamaica, and look forward to seeing what God has in store for the island of Jamaica and this boy from the south. Please feel free to join me on this journey through this blog as I walk this road God has called me too. Thanks for all your prayer and support.

An Empty House!!

I now sit in an empty house again.  The Wooster team just left, and it was hard to see them go.  This will be  one of the stretches that I have here in Jamaica where I will be here by myself.  The Wooster guy team leaders wanted to help me out because they did not want me to be alone.  I introduce you to Eric, Joel, and Jeff.

Thanks guys for the coconut and the thought.  As for the rest of the week, I am looking forward to some rest, but hope that I will also have some work to do from pastor.  We will see.

Yesterday was a great day.  I had the chance to return to Negril and the beach yesterday.  It is always so beautiful and nice.  We had rain in the afternoon while we were shopping, but got to view an amazing sunset out behind Burger King (that is right, Burger King).  It really was beautiful.  That was not really the most beautiful part about it though, as 2 girls from the group who had not been baptized decided it was time to show their public confession of faith.  So as the sun was setting, a baptism was conducted right there on the beach.  It truly was a great experience.  To follow that up, the youth sang and worshipped all the way home on our bus ride.  There really is not a greater sound than the voice of youth singing praises.

I had a Jamaica first for me last night.  I have never had fast food in Jamaica, other than Juici Patties, and last night I got to experience Burger King in Jamaica.  It tasted exactly like the Burger King in the states, but the bread was a little different.  It was very good though, and I think that the kids enjoyed it.  All in all, we had a great time yesterday and I am looking forward to see what God has in store for me this week.

Well, it is time to start thinking about getting ready for church.  I will be off to there, and then on to Sav to buy some food for the time that the teams are not here.  Thanks for reading and God Bless!!
