The Franks Family Mission Trip

Julie Franks sent in some pictures and commentary of her family's mission trip they took to Jamaica in December.

Welcome sign when we got there
The compound where we stayed
Bonnie showing the kitchen stove
A writing on a house wall...
The roads... were a little crazy, but it was very pretty
The bus we drove in while we were there. We had a church member drive the bus for us.
We walked partway to the church/school because of this from Hurricane Sandy
The outside view of the church/school
The church/school inside before the project. It was fairly dusty so Linda is with a bucket keeping the dust down.
Sweeping up all the mess over and over again.
We sanded and sanded
And then we painted...
...and painted...
...and painted...
...and painted and did some tile
In the mornings we did VBS
Singing, crafts and skits
Finished product
Church Sabbath Day!
Us at the falls having fun :)

Thanks, Julie, for sharing these great pictures of your trip!
