Hey Guys,
We just finished our first week with a group and now its on to the second week with hardly the chance to take a breath it seems like. The first week had its fair share of miscues, rearranging, ups and downs along the way. Overall, I thought it was a great week. The groups that were here stepped up to the challenge and even though the week started with a torrential down pour, they were able to build two houses and two foundations. Everyone pulled together, staff included, and got the work that needed to be done accomplished and more importantly we had our first group here building relationships with the Jamaican people of Harmons. I felt like when we got to Ocho Rios that I hit the bed and fell asleep instantly. I spent most of my time while we were there recovering the energy that I had spent the week before so that I could do it all over again this week. I feel like this might turn into a routine thing for the next two months that we are here. Our group just got back to Harmons with our second weeker’s who are from Missouri. They seem like a very good group from the short period of time that I have spent with them and I hope it turns into an incredible week. This week is a little different because all the students have parents with them so it will be interesting to see how that dynamic plays out but I am excited about the possibilities for growth that this week could bring and the impact that they could have in Harmons. For those of you who would like to I would ask you to pray that God gives the staff strength and endurance throughout the summer because we know that we can’t make it without Him, and that the work that we do and the words from our mouths are what He wants for us to say and do this summer. Thanks so much for your support. More to come soon, over and out.
Evan Smith
