I have noticed...

That after school....
or around my house...
any time really if I am sitting down...
there is usually someone on my lap.
I kinda love that:)
and on days that I am really tired the kids are willing
to switch roles and hold me too:)

Thank You Jesus for the blessing of my kids!

Mobay Weekend

All last week it rained. Saturday Morning it was raining, BUT
A group of us loaded up the car and drove to Mobay for the weekend.
We drove in rain all the way there. Grabbed Port Pit for Lunch. YUM!
and by the time we finished lunch the rain had stopped and we made
our way to the beach.
It wasn't a typical sunshiney Jamaican day but it was hot, and
it was no longer raining!
this little guy was about the only one on the empty beach with us.
The water felt AMAZING! It was warm and where I spent the
majority of the afternoon.
we took a break from the water to burying Daphawn in the sand.


The next day was beautiful and sunshiney and we spent the morning
back at the beach.

AHHHHHHHHHHH! The Life!
Chilaxing in the ocean
Daphawn wanting a picture with Lauren
Typical Tashi! O' how I love this girl.
A perfect way to end the morning before going back to MV.

Monday we drove Blake, Tashi, and Daphawn back to Kingston
And while we were there we thought it best we introduce Lauren
to the original Devon House for Ice Cream! Yum!

Thank You Jesus for Great weekends with Great Friends!

Happy National Heros Day!

A Day Away

This is what I got to do on Friday.
Hang out in the pool and read my book.
It was nice!
After a few hours at the pool at Y.S. Lauren, Joanne, and I
went to Little Ochi for supper.
Thank You Jesus for Days to Run Away!

John 13


Tuesday night -Thursday morning we had the privalige to host a
Samaritans Feet Team
They follow the teachings of John 13
And because they all signed they were able to share stories about
Jesus and His love to the students while they washed their feet and
presented them with new shoes.
This picture makes me laugh Sam was washing Tajay's feet
and Tajay just sat there watching him for the longest time.
Then he asked ( as you can see in the picture) if Sam was
Santa Clause:D

The process:
The classes came in and Joanne would give them a wrist band
Tim would measure their feet
and write their shoe size on their wrist band
they would sit down and someone on the team would wash
their feet.
and dry them while they looked for a pair of
shoes in their size
Glo would give them short foot massages.
Then we would give them shoes and they would be on there way.
some of the boys taking their school shoes to the dorms after
getting their new shoes from the team.
the older kids looking at the little kids new shoes while they waited
for their turn.
feet getting used to the cool water
Damian my water boy who kept bringing us
clean water to swap out as we washed feet.
I was excited to be able to take over for some of the team half
way through the students/staff. I loved being able to serve my kids
and those I work with in this way.
The entire Samaritan's Feet team.

Thank You Jesus for willing servants who follow your example.
