Ahhh, PIZZA!

We continue to celebrate with our Jamaican neighbors the continued victories of Usain Bolt! We are amused as we observe the pride of the Jamaican culture.
We are enjoying 2 weeks now with no work teams and preparing for the students to return to campus. A part of this preparation began yesterday with a yearly tradition for the Knockpatrick campus. They start their preparations for the school year with a prayer meeting with all staff. Kirk was able to participate in this unique experience going from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. What a great way to begin the school year!
On Monday and Tuesday Kirk, Chad, and Erin went to the Kingston campus to help them prepare for the school year. Kingston is always in need of the extra help so Kirk has been taking our teams a day out of almost every week to go down there and give them an extra lift.
This weekend we look forward to a leadership camp hosted by New Life Church For The Deaf. The two other deaf churches on the island with also attend. We hope this weekend will bring spiritual growth to the deaf community of Jamaica.
A very special thanks to the Leo team that brought us down pepperoni, sausage, and cheese! We had a GREAT supper last night!!
