Our First Visits (Sunday May 24th)

After church on sunday morning, we got to go back to the hotel and rest for a while. Around 4 our teams were supposed to come pick us up. Now I knew I was going to be split up sometime from Bill and Becca, but I didn't know when. Yes, you guessed it, today was that day. A friend of ours named "Jervin" came. Hoping I would get to go with someone I knew, was to good to be true. It turned out Becca and Bill were assigned to Jervin for one team. (OF COURSE THEY WOULD ALL BE TOGETHER! >: [   )

After they left I immediately went to the LORD in prayer. "LORD! Please let us be productive this evening. I pray everything will go well with my team, and I pray that we will be able to communicate well. In your precious, and powerful name. Amen" As I waited for my unknown team to appear, nervousness got the best of me. BUT it turned out to be a great time! I got to be paired with an awesome man of God named "Alvis Simmonds" (No, not Alvin ha) I didn't know it at the time, but I later would discover that he was father to some of my soon to be friends. 

Alvis picked me up and I quickly chattered his ear off, like I'm capable of doing. We went to pick up our other team member named "Peola Knight" Peola teaches sunday school so we went to meet her at class. Crazy enough I ran into a man named Billy Gray that was part of our mission team from the U.S. I got to witness his amazing gift in sharing the gospel, seeing as he is very experienced. After sunday school we were well on our way to my first visits of the St. Kitts trip.
