Hey everybody! This is Noah, Abby, Haylee, and Brandon coming to you live from M0ntego Bay, Jamaica. The trip was good except for the part when Jon's bag exploded (or got run over by an airplane)!!!
It was great. The villa is great too. There is even a new fruit called a ginnup. Jacob Wiley brought some for us the day we came. Its like a hard grape with jelly inside. The kids love to climb the ginnup trees and pick them.
This is our first day at the Nest. Everyone has fallen in love with the orphanage and are looking forward to helping out the rest of the week. Some of us will be staying the night at the nest tonight, and some will stay at the villa.
One of the orphans was adopted today. His name was Chavar. The orphanage does a cool thing whenever one of the kids are adopted. Everyone prays with the family, then all the kids line up on the side of the road and wave until they're out of sight.
Today we read a story with the kids out of the Bible that has to do with love. Then the kids got to make a streamer to hold and wave around as they worshiped.
Shelley taught three of the older girls some sign language to a song and they did it on the playground as we all sat around and sang, accompanied by Kay on the guitar. We got some good video of that! Hope to be able to share with you at some point.
So far the trip has been great!! :) Tomorrow we go to a local school to paint! Then back to the Nest after lunch.
(Trying to post pics today was a little frustrating. Hopefully better luck tomorrow!)
