Hey Parents,
I was able to get on to our blog site to post tonight! Here is the update from tonight!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Well, we've had two great days of outreaches to the two homes - one for boys, the other for girls. Everything from interacting, playing games with the residents (the kids), painting, and building a huge carport. The details are endless - but I will give you a taste...here goes.
Sunday, I preached and led worship at the service at Kingdom Life. Afterwards, we had a fun trip at the Atlantis - what a buffet, and the aquarium there is unlike any I've ever seen. We spent all Sunday afternoon there, then went to Burger King for snacks before an earlier curfew time.
Monday - we split up in teams for the two homes. I have great video of everyone (I think!!!) doing "their thing." You'll see on our DVD what we accomplished. Rich Graham has been a delight - the man is on fire to share his faith...what a blessing to us all. Sadly, last night - John Watt started feeling bad at bed time, and awakened quite sick at his stomach at 5:30 this morning - he had to stay back and in bed all day - please pray for him, for while he is improving, he is still weak.
Today, we had more of the same - lots of painting, interactions, Jeff Hubert, Tyler Day and I are working on a construction project, several mission x team members were painting the wrought-iron fence at the girl's home. Your kids will have much to tell you about these locations.
Tonight - Cedric's wife Alexine and some ladies in the church presented us with "Bahama's Night" - fried conch, red snapper heads and tails, wild rice, plantains, and guava duff - an incredible dessert. They have lavished on us some of the greatest meals.
I'll try to write more tomorrow. We are doing well. The kids are responding, and the weather has been fantastic. Tomorrow, we'll finish our outreaches at the homes, have a dinner reception at the Moss' in the evening, then Friday is our fun day - beach in the morning, through lunch, then the straw market in the afternoon. We'll leave Friday AM at about 8:30 AM for our short ride to the airport, then an 11 AM flight home.
Thanks for praying for us, and for praying for John.
God bless you all.
Mike G
