Monday, April 6
Monday was our last day of VBS. We taught about Jesus’ resurrection and
forgiveness of sins. Students were sad
to say goodbye to the kids they met.
They gave gifts to the kids like bubbles, chalk, and bracelets some of
the team and other students at Shepherds College made for the trip. We finished our time with the Terroades by
completing some work projects and sharing supplies. It was a difficult to say goodbye. We were able to form some great relationships
with the kids. While it’s difficult to
say goodbye, we are so thankful for these relationships. We know that our lives are certainly richer
because of it.
From our journals:
From this
experience leading VBS and completing work projects, I learned to be more
flexible, not getting angry when people pinch and pull your hair. And laughing off mistakes. ~Jonathan
Today, God provided for me by having me be with
the greatest missions team members ever.
~Wade
Today, God provided for me by letting the
Terroades into my life and being able to explain my testimony to people I just
met. ~Nikki
A story I want to take home about today is all
the kids were amazing and are the best thing in a VBS I’ve ever been. God is great and Jamaican kids are cute! When I see the kids through pictures I know
they are in God’s hands and he will work on them. ~Micah
From this experience leading VBS and completing
work projects, I learned that God can use you.
I know that I am very young. Many
people think that children can’t impact the world. ~Olya
Today, God provided for me by giving me Auntie
Eileen and Uncle Ken. I love them so
much! Today, God taught me how much
grace God gave me and how much he loves me to go on this trip. A story I want to take home about today is
this entire experience. I had such a
good time the way this was. I like all
the people here. Jamaican people are so
sweet and kind. I love them so much I love how we were safe this trip. God has given protection over this trip. I hope that God will bless Jamaica abundantly
above and beyond. I can’t wait to tell
the people back home who love you so much about the awesome trip I had. ~Willetta
Tuesday, April 7
Tuesday was our last full day in Jamaica. We had set this day aside to do some touristy
things. We did our shopping in the
morning and had lunch at a beautiful beachside restaurant. Through the Hensel’s (the missionaries we met
on Saturday), we were able to meet and taste the food of one of Jamaica’s
premier chefs. We were able to swim in
the Caribbean in the afternoon! God
certainly is the creator of some pretty incredible things!
From our journals:
A
story I want to take home about today is I tried my first Jamaican patty and it
was good. ~Andrew
A
story I want to take home about today is that Ms. Pollard is great at
negotiating with prices. She helped me out today and I liked having
her there. ~Nikki
One
thing God showed me today was His beauty in the ocean and the beauty through
the warmth. God is great and did a great
job. ~Micah
I
swam in the ocean. I saw God’s awesome
creation. A story I want to take home
about today is God is all powerful, all knowing, and my heavenly Father made me
the way I am. ~Olya
