We are In Jamaica!



It was a really long day - beginning at 3:00 a.m. in Lansing and ending at 10:30 in Jamaica. Along the way we drove to Detroit, flew to Minneapolis and then flew down to Jamaica.




Everything went smoothly. A great trip. We ate a quick meal at a true Jamaican fast food place.




Yummy!




Then the real adventure began - a 1 1/2 hour trip over the mountains and across the island on narrow, winding road with 14 of us in a small Toyota van and our luggage and two others in a pick-up. I was sitting on a cooler and holding on for dear life.


We arrived, safely, well after dark. Had our meeting and are winding down.


A quick story to go with this last piciture. I was getting the computer out to update this blog and Felix came over to help. As it booted up, there was a picture of my grand-daughter Raegan on the wallpaper. He wanted to see more of her until he saw Rhys in his halloween Spiderman costume. Felix loves Spiderman and he says, that's me. Then the punchline. That's me when I was white.


You have to love kids and their creative imaginations. So he's the first of many here to win my heart. More tomorrow.


Nite!

Lots of prayer; be safe; we miss you! (not allowed to be envious).
We missed many of you at the Men's Breakfast. Ask Brandon what happens when you don't show up.
Watch out for the sun with your "new hair do" - Lots of sun screen.
Much Love, Dennis & Shirley
