I have been home almost two months now and life has gone easier in some places and hard in others.  I wake up every morning still remembering sleeping on the church benches and having my beautiful team around me. I am reminded of Jamaica ever time I see a little kid playing outside or in my church. I see the kids faces when ever I scroll through my pictures. I see the feet of the little girl that loved to sit on my lap and just watch people ever time I open up my Facebook account. I hear my teams voices when ever I read there letter. I see it everywhere.

On the trip I realized a...

Every morning my team would wake up to either, the sunrise, a cowbell, people nudging us until we woke up, and on the most rare occasion, waking up on our own. After that we would eat breakfast, do our personal devotion time, then get ready for a day of street ministry. Street ministry is pretty much what it sounds like, going out on the streets and doing ministry however we could. Sometimes it would be talking to someone about their business or asking if they needed prayer for something.
