After months of planning our team has arrived safe and sound. They made it through customs and immigrations in 2 hours. Lol. But everything went very well. They were all smiles when they came out where they were greeted by their Jamaican Pelicans.
We quickly headed down to grab a photo and then hopped in the bus for our 1 hour 15 minute drive to the country. They were all amazed at the beautiful scenery.
We got settled In at camp and then went for a delicious dinner prepared for us by the ladies of the church.
We had a great evening of worship and discussion and are now tucked away in bed for the night.
Prayers would be appreciated this week. We are praying God moves in mighty ways and can't wait to see where he leads us.
