More of Jamaica Pt. 2

A continuation from my last post. These next two pics are still from our National Heritage Week Celebration...

This is the grades 1-3 teacher. She's new this semester, and she's amazing with the kids. She's only 22 years old, and she's already been teaching for four years, can you believe it? But she's wonderful with the kids, and they absolutely love her - the home has been really blessed by her this term!

Some of the farm (coffee workers) got together and did a couple of songs for us. The one at the mic, K., is the grounds maintainence guy: BIG trouble, but he's good for a laugh and definitely keeps me entertained!

My sweet little boy - this guy is TOO cute for words. This picture doesn't even come close to doing him justice - every time that boy smiles, he just lights up a room! He was VERY proud of his craft on this particular day!!

This is one of the three brothers that I want to take home (I WISH!!!). I LOVE this boy - he is SO smart, and kind - spirited: I don't know if I've EVER met another child like him in my whole life.

This is the youngest of the three brothers, who will stop at nothing to be in my arms at every possible second of the day. I love this little boy so much that it almost takes my breath away: can you see why? Isn't he PRECIOUS?!!!

As always: thank you for your prayers, they're really really working! And I promise to post more for your viewing pleasure as soon as they become available!

The sky looked like it was on fire!

This is an actual water tank for a local community here in the mountains. We all just couldn't believe it. So we took pictures. Would YOU want your drinking water from that source? Eeew!

This one's permanantly attatched to my hip. Isn't she the sweetest thing?!
