Megan's Voice: So this is Jamaica...

Jamaica is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to- mountains and flowers and hills and wildlife and beautiful people everywhere you look.  It is also one of the hottest. ;) I don't think I have ever sweat this much in my entire life. We have been so busy serving and hanging out with some of the sweetest kids on earth- I can't believe that it is Wednesday! The Jamacian kids have captured my heart. There's no other way to say it. Their smiles and stories and laughter and hugs both break my heart and makes it smile. I never knew of a place that could have so much joy AND pain. Today we went to two different orphanages. I have never been to an orphanage. These kids have been through so much- desertion, neglect, abuse... I can see it in their eyes. The only thing I know how to do is love them and hug them and show them I care. It's hard saying goodbye to them after a day of loving and laughter and memories. I know that when I come home from this trip, these kids' faces will be engrained in my mind and on my heart. We are having a blast- time is flying. Staying on the campus of the blind school is inspiring and amazing. The food is awesome: I had fresh mango and star fruit this morning at breakfast. I can't wait to see what else God is going to do with us, through us, and for us in our remaining days here. Jamaica is a part of my heart now and it always will.

Thanks for your prayers and support. You are making an impact in Jamaica because of those prayers and support. See you in a few days!!!  

Blessings,

Megan  

P.S. Happy birthday to my amazing mother. I miss you (and daddy) and I'm sad I can't be with you on your birthday. 

I LOVE YOU XOXOXO
