Awesome

Today we have had an awesome day. This is how it started out....We found out that we were going to visit with some other missionaries (they will start a church in Sandy Bay), not only visit with them but (they have a boat) go on a boat ride with them. The boat did not want to continue running, so we were toed in, and decided to go to the beach/pool across the street. It started to rain, but we still swam (we are not afraid of the flu as some Jamaicans are). When we got back we did not have any water but it was raining.....so..... we went out (still in our swim suits) and showered/played. It was AWESOME!!!!!!   It was the best/quickest shower I have ever had.     You might be wondering if it is unusual to go without water, no. We are used to turning the knob and no water coming out. Same thing with the electricity. When you go without water/electricity, you will soon learn to appreciate it while you have it.

 The rain has now stopped and I hope it is going to the places where they need rain (like Texas, were I am from. Laterally they say that all the grass is brown).

We have been here 1 whole year as of October 3. All of the work teams we have now, we have had before. So last week we had a team of 7/9. Two left early.(We had them last year as our first team)  We really enjoyed seeing our old friends from last year and also it is cool meeting new people. The team did a LOT of painting.

On Friday all of the students left because today is Hero's Day. Tomorrow or Wednesday they will come back.(Some of them said Tuesday and some said Wednesday) It is so quiet. You might think that because they are deaf that they are quiet, Nope. I think it is because they try to express themselves. But to tell you the truth it does not bother me for 2 reasons. 1 is because I would be the same if I was deaf. 2 because I have been around the deaf since I was 7. At that age (a lot of my friends now) were my age when I first started coming. so some of them I have grown up with.....They are all (no matter the age) my friends, more like 45 brothers and sisters (not including my real bros. and sis.) Everyone here is like family... It will be hard to leave them...
