Last nights dinner at the Pork Pit was spicy, a true Jamaican Barbeque, so don't worry, we are being fed quite well.


This morning began with a 7:00 wake-up call and giving devotions at Catherine Hall, a primary school for girls and boys. There we met our church contact here in Jamaica, Pastor Campbell. He is kind and we are glad to have him as he has set up the other places we are giving devotions this week.


VBS took place at Flankers, an economically challenged area of Montego Bay. There was games, crafts, lessons and lots of kids thanks to Collette driving around the neighborhood with Taylor and James annoucing, "Come to VBS," and "Free Candy!".


Due to Colette's injured leg (which is still healing, thank you for your prayers) our dance and song were re-choreographed, Abby replacing Colette for one of the dancers.


Please continue to pray for VBS crafts as we will most likely be low tomorrow, patient attitudes, Colette's knee- and praise that she can actually walk on it!

We Made It


Hey mon, we finally made it to Jamaica and as you can see we are keeping it cool. The weather is hot and humid but Stieg has assured us that it can get hotter. To fill you in on the trip, we had two small delays and almost lost Joey, Taylor and Kevin in Memphis' vast Elvis displays and pork houses. Collette has been improving by the hour and we are greatful for it.


Thank-you for your prayers and to all the parents who showed up at three this morning. We are headed off for dinner at the Pork Pit in an hour which is basically a Bear Grylls Man vs. Wild combined with Famous Dave.


So long from Jamaica,

Josh Larkin
for the Team
