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.

Half Way!

It is hard to believe, but I am a little over half way through my trip.  I think I said this before, but man this trip is flying by.  It really does feel as though I just got here yesterday.  I really am enjoying my time and experience here in Jamaica.

Today was a good and easy day.  I woke, and worked on some stuff on the computer this morning. I then went and worked on the medical center.  Today, I worked with a carpenter named Taylor.  We mostly put in base boards all day.  He would cut the boards, and then I would then nail them to the wall.  I must say I did pretty well.  I only bent 1 nail all day, and it was a concrete nail that hit something solid while I was trying to get it into the wall.  All of my nails were evenly spaced as well.  I would have made my Pawpaw and Uncle Anthony very proud (they were both masons, but know how to do everything when it comes to working on or building a house).

Tomorrow I go to Montego Bay with Delton to pick up my brothers team.  They are leaving Phoenix tonight and will arrive in Jamaica at 2:45pm tomorrow afternoon.  They will have a long night ahead of them.  I hope they can get some rest as they travel so that they can really enjoy Jamaica once they arrive.  I am excited to see my brother and sister-in-law, and can not wait to get some hang out time.

Well, I am off to take some exams.  Yes, I have to take exams for the Cross Cultural Orientation that I will be attending at the end of this month in Kansas City.  Thanks for reading and God Bless!!
