Jamaica update-Allison

Hey Pennsylvania (and especially to my possibly worried parents)!
I don't even know what to write because so much amazing stuff has been happening here! I have enjoyed every single thing that we've done here so far. Yesterday morning, we went to a field that our other lovely team cleaned the day before to play soccer...I didn't actually end up playing soccer because I was talking to an 8-year-old little girl about life. Then she asked me if I was allowed to come visit their school, and the next thing you know, about 6 of us were hanging out with a bunch of awesome kiddos at the basics school next door. Bronte and I basically ran a VBS on the spot, and it was so much fun! We did piggy-back ride races, played Simon says, and a bunch of other fun games! God has been great about continually providing us with energy. I got my giant ridiculous sun hat out and the kids totally loved it...they all posed for pictures with my hat and my shades on! I have loved watching how the simple things have brought so much joy on this trip.
See everyone in a few days!

  4. I hope we get to see some pictures of the kids wearing your sunglasses and hat. What a blessing you and Bronte were to have an on-the-spot Vacation Bible School! That is so inspiring to hear. God is sure moving in all of you. Prayers continue for a wonderful end to your week!
