Thursday, Beach day with the ladies.....

TODAY WAS AN AWESOME DAY FOR THE KIDS AND ADULTS. We started the day off with the finale day of VBS. Our number increased to 136 kids. The kids must have made a great impression on the Jamaican kids every kid game back and brought friends with them to learn about God’s grace. Just like all the past mission trips the kids we served fell in love with our youth. Our youth made so many new friends and several of the teens have a facebook and email address so there is a possibility some of the newly developed friendships can carry past this week.
Now, for a little “FCC Jamaican Mission” blog follower quiz…..
Here is the questions: What did the mission group eat for lunch today?
A. PB&J
B. PB&J
C. PB&J
If you answered PB&J you were correct.

After lunch 10 of the girls went to the infirmary to get 10 of the residents to bring to the beach while the rest of the group cleaned up the beach so the residents wouldn’t have to step on trash while walking to the water. The 10 girls who went to the infirmary had an interesting experience. When they arrived they had to help dress the ladies and also put depends on each of them. The rest of the group was able to have a nice swim in the water for 30 minutes while we waited for the ladies to arrive. When the ladies arrived the group jumped into action and took over. They either walked the ladies to the beach, carried them or assisted them by rolling them to the water in wheel chairs. The kids sat with the ladies at the edge of the water and assisted them by holding them up, massaging their backs and legs and even carried them into the water so the ladies could feel the waves splashing against them. I will add a few pictures to the post so you can see our kids at work, THEY WERE GREAT!

We took the ladies back to the bus and rinsed them off and fed them a Pattie, a Jamaican food, before we took them back to the infirmary. When we arrived at the infirmary the girls had to assist in stripping the ladies down and rinsing them off and then clothing them.
We went back to the hotel and had another great meal consisting of Red Snapper.

The kids are going to enjoy a free night at the hotel. Tomorrow we leave for Ocho Rios to go to the market area and then to the falls where the kids can play and have fun at the beach.

Culture night last night went really well and the kids had a lot of fun.
