I didn't post yesterday..but we all made it safe & sound! It was not a bad trip at all! Once we got to the hotel we all found our rooms, had a meeting, ate dinner, and spent the evening bonding and having fun in the pavilion area. It has been so much fun so far!
After breakfast today we went to the Rock of Maypen! It was awesome to meet some of the people from the church and get to serve them! We spent some time cleaning up the church and school - cleaning the kitchen, windows and doors; planting flowers along the fence, and painting the wall. I believe that everyone had a great time!
We spent a lot of time with the Jamaicans from the church so far today! They were all very welcoming! It has been awesome to get to know them and have fun with them. We kicked the soccer ball around with them a lot today! It was a big hit!
We are waiting for dinner at the hotel now and will be going back to the church tonight for a service.
I will try to post again tonight! :)

Welcome to our Missions Trip Blog
44 youth and adults from The Rock of Gainesville will be serving on a missions trip in Maypen, Jamaica, from July 9 - 15, 2008. Throughout the trip, we will post updates about our experiences here on this site. Please feel free to review it often for the latest news. When we return, the students will be posting their thoughts on the trip here as well.
We are excited about the opportunity and ask that you pray for us before and during our trip. We are asking God to do a work in us and through us.
