Robin's Nest Day 5

Friends -

Even though today we were scheduled to take the kids to church we started off our day by the pool at Toby's with a devotion around Acts 4:1-20. Everyone looked like they got a much needed night of rest as we didn't have to get picked up until 10:00am. During our devotional time, we talked about how challenging it must have been for Peter and John to take a stand against the Sanhedrin during that time. We talked about the importance of not letting people or situations deter us from doing God's work and following His word.

Today was a blessing as everyone was happy to have our project atthe Nest finished so we could focus on an entire day with the kids. We started our day with the kids at 10:30 church. The kids have moved to a new church where they get more one-on-one time during a Sunday school class that is a little more reasonable time frame for them. Church was so packed on this day that some of us had to sit outside of the main room. it was good to see how passionate some with their worship in Jamaica.

After church, we picked up some treats for the kids and headed down to the beach to spend some much treasured play time with the kids. There was no hesitation as everyone proceeded to jump in the ocean with the kids. After a few hours at the beach, the team ended our time in prayer with the Matt and Joyel Wiley (directors). They are doing an amazing job despite challenges and hurdles they are having to deal with for the entire family. The prayers were welcomed and much appreciated.

Overall, a great experience for all and a blessing for all involved on the team. The team has already expressed a strong interest in wanting to come back. Thanks Woodbury Lutheran for supporting this trip!

Blessings,

Robin's Nest Team
