This is the Jamaica I know and Love!

Good Friday Morning All! I pray that the Lord is blessing you day. I have been spoiled down here for the most part with electricity more often then not and starting each day with a hot shower. With in the past week or two we have had two (rather long) power outages were we end up eating by candle light and if at home i just go to bed because there is nothing more to do. Last night was one of those nights but GOD blessed it with great food and fellowship with friends. Once the power went out Rachel Cook (a teacher here with me) Blake Widmer and myself loaded up and headed over to JDV for a nice meal of chicken from bowls? (i think that's the name of it?) with the Hubers, Mark White (the managing director of C.C.C.D. on the u.s. side) Warren Kloter and Jessica (sorry i can't remember her last name) from Conn. We had a great time hanging out then talking and when the lights finally did end up coming on playing cards until we could not focus anymore we were so tired. Once I got home the grate was locked (even though i thought Ionda texted Kadene for me to tell her to leave it open) So i was locked out of the walk way that leads to my apt. At this point I had to become creative (since i don't have a key) and crawl over the railing very carefully walk along the ledge to get around the post and to the other side where i once again had to crawl over the railing and onto the walk way. Praise the Lord that I didn't fall! Then when I got home last night I didn't have any water... and when I woke up this morning i still didn't have any water. It hit me as I was walking back from the great house (after seeing if there was water up there) I realized how spoiled i have been with the consistency i have experienced so far. Praise God for the reminder that I need to be thankful for those blessings down here. The sun is shining and its a beautiful day. I Pray that the Lord is blessing yours. Be blessed and be a blessing. -Erin-
