Robin's Nest Day 2

Hello Friends -

We started out our morning with a daily devotion by the pool at Toby's Resort from Galatians 1:6-10. This got us focused for our first day as we tried to remember that we are here to serve God and stay true to his word. It is easy to lose focus around why you are on a mission trip when you are out of your comfort zone in a country that is quite different from the comforts of home. This verse helped to start our day on the right foot...thanks Tom!

The team enjoyed the interesting trip up the Nest enduring the bumpy ride up the mountain and taking in the local Jamaican culture. Upon arriving at the Nest, the team did a great job of quickly jumping into projects and getting to work after a breif tour of the Robin's Nest. Troy, Jen, Sherri and I got to work on building some new shelves for them in the laundry room. Les, Sue, Darlene and Peggy measured and cut wood to prepare to build four bunk beds for the Nest.

The kids arrived home from school just in time to re leave us from the long day of labor and provide us all with an outlet to play with the kids. Whether it was playing basketball, soccer, twirling them around or just being there to give them some attention, it was a fitting end to the day. After the journey down from the Nest, we stopped by the hardware store to buy some supplies for our projects and pick up some food at The Pork Pit...a local favorite for Jamaican jerk chicken. Thanks Woodbury Lutheran for your support and we will continue to provide updates along the way.
