Well, we're finally here! It was a great trip! We flew out of Indianapolis at 7:30 am, which meant getting to the airport at around 5:30. We flew to Atlanta and then on to Montego Bay. Thank God our flights went perfectly. Customs in Jamaica went very smoothly and without a hitch. We spent the night in Montego Bay at a beautiful hotel called Hotel Gloriana. We swam at the pool and even made it to a nearby beach for about an hour. On the plane from Atlanta, the pastor's wife (Christine) of Lighthouse Evanglistic church sat right behind me. (This is Jim and Penie's pastor's wife!) She also stayed at our hotel and showed us a quaint little place to eat dinner. God had already started hooking us up with key people!
On Thursday, 6/1, we met up with Jim and Penie and thier intern Steve and made the trip over the mountain. The kids did great sitting cramped around luggage (no seat belts here!)for over an hour and a half. When we got to My Father's House, the kids all came out to greet Momma Penie and Papa Jim. It was great to see them all again. A few even remembered us! We spent the day just playing with the kids.
Today 6/2, we have orgainzed our kids bedroom (we're all 6 in the same room until Sunday, when a few guests will leave), played, swam and just got to know the kids. Paul went to town with Adrian (a Jamaican worker at the House) and Alex (an American who is on KBM's board and here until Sunday)to try and located some reverse and blikner light bulbs for Jim's truck.
The kids are having the time of their lives and already have a ton of friends. They are doing great in the heat and eating new foods. They are so excited about being here and are looking forward to spending the whole summer here. The Jamaican kids are really accepting them well. WE'RE HAVING A GREAT TIME! The real work starts on Monday, so we have a few days to get acclamated. Please keep us in your prayers!
