Wednesday, July 1

Currently I am waiting for the bus to get back from the airport with the next team (Desert Hills). This morning was really chill. We had a super good breakfast, which was awesome because the food at the hotel we stayed at in Kingston was not the best. We were literally served beans and/or hotdogs for breakfast almost every day (it was a little rough). The Whittier team left for the airport in three shifts all relatively close together. I was a little sad to say goodbye to them. After a week of working together it was hard. They were a great team to work with. After everyone got to the airport, Roger and I ran to Mega Mart (remember one of my first updates about the Jamaican Sam’s Club) and got a few more necessities to help make life easier (peanut butter, mountain dew, you know the important things). Now I’m just waiting for the Desert Hills team to arrive at the hotel. Dinner is at 5, and then we leave right after that for a night ministry with them. I have to admit I’m a little nervous about this next week. I’m sure the ministry will go well and the team will adjust, but my role this next week isn’t as clear as it has been. Last week there were two teams on separate parts of the island, so the interns were split up. This week there is only one team so we are all together and the girl who did what I was doing for the second team is more dominant than I am. Also some of the interns are from this church so they have a strong connection with this team. I am just a little worried that I won’t have a place with this team. Please pray that I am still used this week. I now have an internet connection after it being out the past few days in Kingston. So sorry if I haven’t been in touch. I’m not sure how long it will last because we are moving to a new hotel in a different city soon. Thanks for the prayers and the messages of encouragement. The Lord is really moving here. I could say so much more but I don’t have time. Desert Hills/Horizons just rolled in.
