What a gorgeous afternoon!! We were incredibly blessed to meet as a team and enjoy some outside sunshine. Today's meeting allowed us to recap all the sporting equipment that we need to bring with us and practice some games/activities that we will play with the Jamaicans. The airline tickets have been purchased, and we are in the final stages of fundraising. Please make every effort to be at your goal by Monday, March 19. A few students need to bring me a photocopy of their passport, and let me know their intent on the # of suitcases they will be bringing. I have suggested that everyone carry a backpack and carryon (free) and then split a big suitcase with someone. The reason for this is that Delta is charging for bags this year. To check a suitcase is $25 each way. I am finalizing packing list and parent contact sheet with the phone # and address of where will be staying in Montego Bay. Communication is going great with our pastors on the island, and they are finalizing our schedule for the week. I'll be sharing that with you all once I receive the plan and activities for our free day in Ocho Rios. It's so exciting to think that we will be on the island in 19 DAYS!!!!!!

We missed Taylor, Landon, Morgan, and Kayin yesterday, but had a great time practicing our competitiveness against each other on the booster field. This is a very special group!!!!
