We are here, and feeling very white:)

Hey all! Well, we arrived in Jamaica at 1:15p.m. Safe and sound! The myths are true, it's rediculously warm, humid, beautiful and overall awesome in this place! The driving is ridiculous! It seems they have 'evolved' beyond the need to follow traffic laws; swerving, dodging motorcycles and pedestrians is just a way of life, it's literally a game of inches! Today we were privileged enough to meet Robert (and two of his friends Patrick and Kevin) as well as the people that we are going to be staying with for the next week. They are all awesome! Robert said generally the higher class people live on the mountain sides surrounding Kingston, the middle class live near the base of the mountains and the lower class live in the city. The girls are staying with a lady in a nice section of town (middle class area)complete with a pool. Robert then proceeded to drive us guys virtually to the top of one of the mountains...yeah, you could say it's pretty nice around here; the sighns say we are north of Beverly Hills:).

Thanks for your prayers! God has kept us safe thus far.
Well keep you posted.
This is Nathan on behalf of team Jamaica, sighning off!
