Flat Tires!!

Hello again everyone.  It feels like forever since I have blogged, but it has only been a little over a day or so.  Well, here is what I have been up to.

Yesterday was good.  I went to Mt. Shiloh to help out with the VBS there.  The kids for the most part did very well, as I (being the bouncer and making sure the everyone stayed where they were suppose to) did not have to talk to too many of them.  It was fun to hang out with some of the kids though, and it was nice to get a break from some manual labor.  When we left VBS to go and pick up the other group from their VBS, we got a flat tire.  Surprisingly, this is the first time I have been in a vehicle that has gotten a flat tire in Jamaica (the roads are rough and I imagine that a flat happens rather frequently).  We just stopped right in the road, and changed the tire there on the street.  Lawrence was our driver yesterday, and he changed the tire like he was working for Jeff Gordon in the pit stop.  He did a great job and within 10 minutes we were back on the road and running.

Today, I was back at the manual labor stuff.  It was a good and productive day, and I tried to make sure that the guys who were there with the team took their time and rested when need be.  We worked on the back fence all day, and almost got it completed.  It is cool though, because the group can look at the fence and see what they actually completed.  You will hopefully get to see the fence next week.  It was a very hot day today, and after lunch all those who had gone to VBS came out and helped us finish up our project.  Then we all went and jumped in the river.  It felt very nice!!

Tomorrow, we go to Negril.  I am looking forward to being on the beach again, as it never really gets too old.  The team seems to be excited as well.  We will cap it all off with a dinner at Rick's Cafe watching the sun drop into the sea.  It is always a blessing to see this and know that I serve the God who created that.  It is still hard to believe, but my time here in Jamaica is winding down.  I look forward to see how God will continue to move within my life.  Thanks for reading and God Bless!!!!
