Jamaica thoughts by Rachel
This trip has been harder because we don't see the rewards of our trip right away. We may never see them; or we may see results in our lives more than in the lives of the people we're ministering to. The work we are doing here is much more relational. I just hope that people have come before us and that people come after us to reinforce our message. Our group has mostly been working with kids and it is so heartwrenching to think of what will become of them after we leave. All we can do is love on them while we are with them. What has touched me was the joy on the faces of the special needs children. Most of them were laughing more than our group was even though they have less than a fraction of what we do. I just think of the quote, "love makes the world go round."

Rachel we love you and are praying for you. We have really been enjoying the videos. Watching the team interact with the special needs children was really touching.
Love, M&D
Hey Rachel! It looks like a beautiful place with neat people. I see a little sunburn on that one photo - where's your sunblock? Have a great time! Uncle Lowell and Aunt Pam
