| everyone is sporting their new braids.... |
A picture is worth a thousand words...........we had such a busy day yesterday. We worked side by side with our Jamaican friends on both parts of the project. They were so appreciative!! They have rally day at their church on Sunday so it will be all nicely painted for them. The fence project is as far as we can take it. They will be building a gate in the future. The kids were SO excited to see those slides!! A parent even called to tell Earl how excited they were that now their kids had something to play on.
The boys had enough energy left to go play basketball for a while before supper. The rest of the evening was spent getting cleaned up, eating supper, relaxing and having our team meeting.
Today we are back to Eccelston to "enjoy" some more rocks and maybe some black dirt. Cement will be poured around the rock wall, slides will be installed, tires moved, black dirt leveled (we hope) and grass seed will be planted.
As the author of our team journal put it, God is good! From Jamaica............have a great day!!
Nice job Jamaica Team!!! It really looks like you are making progress with your projects and that has to be a good feeling to see the final outcome and the smiles on those children faces. I love the braids and was so glad to see you gals decided against doing your entire heads :) I am hearing comments from lots of our church members who are following the blog, but they just don't know how to respond and they are very proud of you all and look forward to your safe return. Take Care Team Jamaica. It finally looks like a couple of days free of rain in the Minnesota forcast.....yippee!!
