............Team Jamaica!!!!!!!!!!!: We can't come up with a witty title...... (believe us... we have been trying..)

HELLO out there! From the Jamaican team....its Jesselyn and Lisa!!!! (whoo the crowd goes wild) haha.

hi.. its us... in Kingston, New Kingston to be specific, unlike the Beverly Hills where certain other people are staying.. who of which are enjoying an incredible view of the city lights.... we are happy and healthy drinking a nice BLACK CUP...(no sugar/cream added)...of Blue Mountain Coffee.. Lisa is drinking it, and she dosent even like coffee! its got nothing on Foldgers thats for sure!

We started the day at around 8am. our billet Rea, is like family already, and treats us as such :) she is 29 and works half time with the Fusion team here in Jamaica. (our contacts co-worker). The guys picked us up and had to eat their breakfast...which they couldnt finish...so we took a fork to it!... boiled banana, green yams, salt fish, potato, seasoned spinach, and a dumplin for dessert!

So far the bug bite count for Jesselyn is 2, Lisa 1, by a biting ant. luckily Jesselyns bits were misquitos. They only bite new blood.

...So After dodging cars, bikes, pedestrians, left, right and center, we got some new tires in our sweet as can be van we drive! We are not the drivers per say...that would take some practise..it is definatly a skill to drive on the streets of Kingston. Not to mention on the left side of the road.... haha.

WE GOT CELL PHONES TOO! haha. it is just for contacting with Robert and the guys.. but it was exciting,. haha..

Our main planned activity was to travel to Trenchtown (fun fact, Bob Marley spent some time here, and even wrote some songs about it...one of the roughest areas in the city.) We will be spending alot of time at a school called Operation Restoration Christian School during the childrens lunch break. We hung around there playing games and throwing the football around. The school is for children who have learning disabilities and behavioral issues. We go back tomorrow to help them with their studies..math, writing, etc..

In the afternoon we had a quick meeting with some of Roberts co-workers to plan a "mini camp" experience for some of the kids at the Trenchtown school... it is still in the works, but our team will be the counsellors and will help with games and hikes and campfires! Please pray for provision for the campsite we want to use. We are looking forward to this adventure!

Later on we went grocery shopping, then we got some food from the super market and got dropped off at home. Rea was at her night class, and Lisa and I decided to make some wraps for supper! So tasty! We ate these on the balcony and as we were looking out we heard a flutter... Lisa thought it was one of those croaching lizzards, but it was a BAT!!!!!!!!!!.. ya, we ate inside after that.. haha...

likkle more' (thats patois, which is the Jamaican language, for "Talk to you later")

love you all! and thanks for your prayers!!

JES and LIS
