He Mon ... From Jamaica

Well, it's our turn! As our friends in Arizona are on their way to see the Grand Canyon and make their way home, our trip to Jamaica with the rising college freshmen has now begun. The group had a rather long day in various airports yesterday and finally landed in Montego Bay at just after 10:30 p.m. local time. After going through immigration, customs, getting luggage, and driving the hour or so to St. Ann's Bay, we probably got to bed at around 2:30 a.m. Everyone was great through the whole process and ready to jump into the week.

And jump in we did. This morning we woke up to the beautiful Jamaican coast, had breakfast, and headed to Hoolebury to get started. A few groups are working on pouring a sports court at Hoolebury Methodist Church and another group is forming up the roof on the next part of the Street house for us to hopefully pour this week. Needless to say, we'll be deep into concrete all week.

We'll update again tomorrow and hopefully have some photos. We'll be going to church in the morning and then having a little fun on a Sunday afternoon :). For now, we're here and all is well.
