Jamaica

Gave shoes in Knockpatrick today. Giving to the deaf children. The excitement, the jumping, and the laughing. Oh my heart. Showing love and kindness is a language that all understand.

Went to infirmary (nursing home). Shannon danced with a gentleman there with a Steelers hat on. Sang This Little Light of Mine. What joy in their faces as we sang. The people were so happy to see us.

We went to the Boy’s Home. Thank you Jesus for this opportunity. The boys were so excited - ran along by the van as we came and when we left. They were in line waiting to come. Washing their feet, asking what they wanted to do when finish school - pilot, football player, translator, a writer. Praying with them.

Tonight we served the residents of the CCCD deaf village. Oh the joy on their faces and hugs and again the one and kindness language. Roseann in the 8th grade with the sweet smiles and beautiful joy in her heart.
