Getting Here, Getting Settled



It was great to see the whole team today at the airport in Montego Bay. They all arrived just in time for a heavy afternoon rain. We grabbed lunch at Burger King overlooking the bay, then we took the long trek over the mountains to the south shore. There was work to do even before we unloaded the luggage. We drove straight to the work site in order to unload a shipping container filled with materials to build two houses! Once we all got it unloaded we headed to "My Father's House", unpacked, and grabbed dinner. Later kids went swimming, and now the house is quiet. I think they are all pretty tired. Breakfast is at 6:30, then we have lot's of work to do. I'll try to keep you posted as we go.
