Update from Trinity UMC
Great Tuesday!

Today was awesome! We lead vacation bible school in the morning, then went to the infirmary where we sang with the residents. The infirmary is a place for people to go when they don't have anything else in life and nobody to take care of them. I read from my bible to a woman who couldn’t speak. The amazing thing about it is that they were so happy with what most of us would consider so little. I think they made most of us happier than we made them. After the infirmary we went to one of the schools here and made blackboards. I can’t wait until tomorrow when I get to keep serving God.

I honestly couldn't be more proud and deeply touched. As I read, it was like God's love was touching me through your words. Thanks to all the team for making a difference in so many lives, mine included.

It looks like everyone is settling in. We are praying not only for a safe trip, but one that God has designed for each and everyone of you to do his work in the field and in your hearts. Look carefully each day to see where you see Jesus. He will be at work all around you and in each other. One of the neat things about this website is when you talk about meeting other groups that arrived the same day you did, we can look at their photos and get a glimps at who they are and where they are from.

From the photos and the note it looks like your first day of mission work in Jamaica was a good one. I hope today is even more wonderful. We are keeping all of you and the people of Jamaica in our thoughts and our prayers. We are just so very proud of all of you. So, go forth in holy boldness (love that! Jane) and do God's work by being his hands, feet and heart.
