Here we are on our bus ride to Mandeville a couple of weeks ago. Someone usually has to stand up at the back and secure the luggage on the downhills. One time last year I was sitting at the back and a duffel bag came hurling at my head as the driver braked at the bottom of the driveway. It's always a tight fit but at least there's air conditioning!






Ian chased down this pufferfish and caught it with his hands in Negril! It looks normal until gets scared and then it blows up with all its spikes sticking out. Poor little guy must've been terrified with all of us peering at it. Ian is a student from Wisconsin who loves marine biology He knows all about all the creatures we find in the sea and he always manages to find the coolest ones. I poked this fish's lips. They felt gummy.






This is the view from the Great House at Stone's Hope around 5:30am. I have my best mornings up there.












Here is my smallgroup. Clockwise from the bottom: Kathryn, Ashley, Judith, Breanne and Nicoline. We get together to talk about what they're learning and going through. I also get to hang out with each of them one on one every week to process with them a little deeper.















Stone's Hope YWAM Campus in Mandeville. This is the place that got torn apart in hurricane Ivan in 2004. Still much to do but it has come a long way thanks to God's provision through the many teams that have come to help rebuild.







Kathy-Kay gets dunked. We had baptisms at the pool last month.










Check again soon, there are more pictures to come!
