Well, this will most likely be the last post from Jamaican soil. I might post in the morning after breakfast, but we will have to wait and see.
Today was part travel day. We loaded the bus this morning in Beechamville and after shedding some tears and leaving our supplies and many personal belongings, we headed for Montego Bay. After a three-hour bus ride with one bathroom break loaded with TING and patties, we arrived in Montego Bay. Once we settled in, some went to the beach while others went to the market. Ahhhhhhh, the market. Part gift shop, part garage sale, and part flee market, this is where the locals own small "stores" where you can buy souvenirs. They have a pretty universal calling to get you to their store....."Come on take a look!" Once there, they try to get you to buy whatever. The fun is in the bartering! Our bus driver told us, "Never take their first price," so we don't! Anyway, much fun was had. Those who went to the beach had a reat time as well.
Later we had our final dinner together at a local restaurant. Yummy, but not as good as Ms. Loretes! She is the one who prepared our diner for us each evening at the Manse, and boy can she cook!!!
After dinner we had our final team metting and had an incredible time sharing and affirming one another. It was extremely powerful.
Also, tonight we called HOPE. We made a phone call and spoke with Thomas Nelson during the service. Boy, technology sure has come a long way!
Well, considering it is 1:15 ATL time and we are heading back in the morning, I am going to close this blog. Sorry, there will be no team blogs tonight, but should be in the morning.
Thanks for your contiuned support and prayers! They mean TONS!
CHANGED,

Hey Everyone!!! Just want all of you to know that our family and friends are thinking of you and all of you are in our prayers. What a very special way to spend spring break ... teaching the people of Jamaica about Jesus. I don't know everyone that went on this mission trip, but I feel like I know all of you just from reading the postings every day. A BIG THANK YOU to all of you for sharing your experience this week. It meant the world to me just to be able to see the pictures and read about what you did each day and also to know that you were okay.
Thank God for all of you. In closing, I want to thank Michael and Linda for also making it possible for Jandi to call me from Jamaica...Thanks to any one else who made that possible. Jandi I love you and hope to see you and the rest of the Hope Mission Team members soon. Lots of Love, Mama...(Marie Selby)
