This morning, we ate our last breakfast prepared by the breakfast ladies. One of them gets up at 4 a.m. to walk to our church home so that breakfast can be out by 7:30. After cleaning up and getting our bus loaded we headed back to our hotel in Montego Bay. We arrived at 10 a.m. The hotel was very nice to let us check in that early! Most people who regularly stay in nice resorts would probably not be to happy with our hotel. It is not on the beach, it does not have all the modern amenities, but we are sleeping on beds instead of the floor, the rooms are air conditioned, water in the shower is warm, we haven't seen any bugs in the rooms, there is a small pool to swim in, and it has a great view of the ocean! So, we think it is pretty fine!!
We walked down to the ocean front stores for some lunch and our waiter asked us who we were and what we were doing. We told him we were working on a project in Catadupa. He smiled and told us that is where he grew up! Then he told us he attended the Adventist church in that community! There was an instant bond when we told him we were Adventists as well. We had good food, and made a new friend!
Tomorrow, we will attempt to find the closest Adventist church and see how they take to eighteen people, many of which do not own any clean clothes at this point!
