Party in the USA... no wait, Jamaica!



Hey everyone! This is my first blog of the summer so I'll tell you a little bit about myself. But first, I would like to share a short story. Tonight the seven of us summer staff were invited to go to a birthday party for one of the Jamaican women we know fairly well. So we went, assuming the evening would be extremely awkward considering we didn't know half the guests and couldn't help but stand out as the only "whiteys" there. As the eating and dancing went on, we were quickly surprised at how much we enjoyed ourselves. Not only did we feel welcomed, we soon came to realize that we were seen as a part of their family. God has blessed me with an amazing family not only at home, but also here on this beautiful island.
