Keylee rocks on in Jamaica

It's been an interesting day for me here in Jamaica. The started out with breakfast at seven then we were off to our work site. Daniel, Hannah, Tim, and I were sent on a special task to dig an evil pipe line for the rain water. The task was an expected level of difficulty until we came to this enormous boulder that made us work extremely hard. We each to turns whacking at this gigantic blockage that kept us busy for bout an hour and a half. Without teamwork we would have never succeeded in defeating that massive rock. My favorite part was that it was my first time using a pick axe and the team said I was a beast at it.=D

As we continued it was lightning and thundering and our once clear view of a city in the distant mountains was becoming not so visible. We could here the rain on a near distant mountain and didn't think much of it until one of the Jamaican deaf men began shouting and waving as a signal to go inside. Tim was like, " Uhhh I'm gonna listen to the Jamaican." Of course we got drenched and after the rain subsided we continued to work hard. We were rained out again as well.

By four o'clock we were drenched and covered in mud!! We had by far the dirtiest job of the day, but with a beautiful view of the Jamaican mountains. I had mud in places I've never dreamed it would be. (I know that's TMI but its my blog haha) I couldn't wait to get in the shower, even though we can't leave the water running during our scrubbing and its freezing.

Its been a culture shock for me, especially the part bout not refrigerating the eggs and all the conserving rain water, but it's been great none the less.

I obviously fit right in because all the deaf here ask me if I am Jamaican. Its funny to me.

Well tomorrow is another day and even though my body may want to not work I will because I am doing it for God and that is all that matter.

Till next time
