WOW...what a great 1st day here in Harmons. God is really at work in this community. After a much needed nights rest, the morning started with some quiet time, breakfast bar & yummy Jamaican coffee! My group assignment for the day was to help build a house for a lady and her child. The foundation had been poured by a previous team here in Harmons. We passed some buckets of marl and dumped them on the foundation and then helped build the walls. It was amazing to see how it went up. The Jamaicans that worked with us showed a lot of patience as they taught us what to do! I think I could definitely learn something from them! I took some time to play with a couple of little boys that lived on the property. Them and their grandpa took me on a walk in their backyard to see their chickens and pigs. When I started calling the chickens, the boys just looked at me smiled great big! They helped me catch a chicken! Actually felt a little like home! There are lots of chickens here!
This is such an awesome experience, I cant wait to share with those at home. It is a different pace of life being unplugged from the normal day to day "stuff." While I miss Scott, Chase and Ashley like crazy, it is much needed time for me to reflect on what God's desire is for me. I pray that I will take my experience here, home with me and continue His plan for my life.
I am so excited to see whats in store for tomorrow.....
Big hugs & kisses to my family and friends, Love you! Sarah
