Meet Briarwood!

This past week we had Briarwood PCA with us from Alabama.
This was our biggest team this year (50 people) and spent the 
week, painting, pouring a farm road, and doing vbs with the students
after school. They did great, and I enjoyed having them around for 
the week.

June JDV Team

Last week I was able to spend the week at JDV with Ted's Team.
I look forward to this team each year as I get a week away to hang
out with friends. This year the team was about half the size that normally
comes, but they were all Amazing and I Praise God for each one He
 placed on the team.
 The main project for the week was pouring more of the road
 laying the curb block.

 We had a group pulling overgrowth out of the fields after weeks
and weeks of rain.
 It was a lot of work and they did an awesome job pulling the grass
from the fields.

This week I was able to plug the team in at New
Hope a little at a time, and I LOVED watching
them love on my kids.


 I think watching Jed was my favorite. He came multiple times and 
always went right for our littlest girl (Christian), and snuggled her
until it was time to go.







 This team did a TON of work for the size of the
team they were.
 and by Wednesday afternoon/ Thurs. Morning they were feeling it.
 Breaks were needed to keep them going strong. And during one of those
much needed breaks the talk began of how it nice it would be go to on a 
free day.

They came up to me begging me to see what I could do. I chatted
with Ben about it to make sure he was okay with it, then I went
to stretch Ted and his years of routine.
The team was beyond excited when the first free day in over 
15 years was okayed!
 They had so much fun at the falls.
 They went zip lining.
 And after a long morning at the falls it was
time to go hang with the kids at KP.
 Dance Off;
KP Kids vs. Ted's team.


 LOVE THESE GIRLS!
I am so thankful for the gift of getting to know them this past week
and I am excited to see where God leads them in their ministry!

The Way Back

This is a really bad picture, it was night, it was raining,
I was driving,  and after following this car for a few miles
 I noticed there was a guy riding 
in the trunk. I guess the Taxi was filled up and this was the only 
seat he could get on a rainy Jamaican night:)

Out with the old, In with the new

 For a while we have been searching for a new car. The oddessy 
started to show signs of being well loved, and the board decided it
was time to upgrade.
 
After months of looking (done by Blake), 
and a trip (done by me) to Kingston to look with Blake,
we finally narrowed the search down to 2 options.
After some more research and asking of questions
one of the options was dropped and our new car
was selected. This past Thursday
we were finally able to get the new car. 
I am so thankful that process is finally done. 
I am not a big fan of all the 'fuss' that comes with getting a 
new car, but hopefully that won't last long.
Thanks Blake for all your work in this!

We still haven't been able to sell the oddessy.
Please be praying we can get that done quickly.
Thanks.
