It is day four!!
We have been having such a wonderful time here in Jamaica! Yesterday (Saturday) we finished painting the wall and helping out around the church. After we had lunch, we had a wonderful time in groups sharing about ourselves. We had groups of about 5 with some Americans and some Jamaicans in each group. Pastor Svend led us by telling us either to say something about ourselves or to finish a statement that he started. It was awesome to hear the hearts of each of the people in our groups and their passion for serving the Lord!
As a part of our group session, P7 had one person from each team sing into his iPhone so their voice was changed by the T-Pain app! It was a lot of fun! One of the Jamaicans from each group was selected to sing and P7 picked one at the end. That group got a certain amount of money. It was a lot of fun!
In the afternoon, some of the group stayed at the church to play a soccer game!
That evening we went to a roadside stand/restaurant that is owned by one of the church members. We all chose either to have Jerk Chicken or Jerk Pork. It was delicious!! The food here, overall, has been very good!
This morning we went to the church service at The Rock. It was awesome to hear Pastor Dennis' heart and encouraging words!
We have more planned for this evening! :)
This is everyone at the restaurant!
Here are our groups cheering on the next singer!
This young lady had a great voice!

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.
