It's been great to come back to Harmons. As Ty says, the second time is like watching a movie you have all ready seen. You know the story, but you see more of the little details in the background. I have had a lot of fun watching the others experience and be Gods love. Today Mike was the greatest personal shopper for 4 Jamaicans. He treated them like royalty as they searched thru all the t-shirts and baby clothes. He even helped one lady pick out a "nice nighty". They were given 2 wal-mart bags to fill with clothes and Mike filled them so tight they almost split. Jeff Batson is an amazing man! It's his third time here and you would think that he was a local. All the Jamaicans know and love Jeff and they look forward to his return. Today at the infirmary I watched Jeff love the helpless and elderly, and when he left he said "see you in one year", and he meant it. Laci "Toots" Thurn has been a joy to all of us. Everynight she runs out to talk to people courtyard and hold the children in her arms. And of course Dennis, David and Justin are all keeping us laughing.
Tonight we had a birthday party for "Miss Linda". 20 years ago, her and her husband Henry started Won by One and tonight the entire community came out to celebrate her. A couple days ago Dennis commented on the Legacy that Henry and Linda have created. They have been Christ to hundreds of Jamaicans and have expected nothing in return. Now we have been a part of that Legacy. As I spoke to Linda tonight she told me of how all her kids are coming down in Feb. and how they have passed the baton on to them. Thier son Josh is full time with the ministry and she is very proud. This week I got to serve with my family, Mike and Dennis, and as I think of what this week has meant for me, I realize that we are not only a part of Linda and Henry's legacy but part of Grandpa Jim's legacy as well. We are continuing what those who came before had started, to be Christ to others.
Amie, I love you and I so desperately wish you and Luke were here. Luke would love the bananas. I can't wait to hug and kiss you both on Sunday.

We miss you too! Right now Luke is "supervising" Buddy while he eats. His new thing this week is when we say 1,2,3, he says "GO". Thanks for writing about my grandpa and making me cry from 1000's of miles away. We can't wait for you to get home. Luke says "MMMMWAAA" (that's a kiss). See you Sunday night.
Amie and Luke

Are you speaking of my husband? And if so I can't believe you did not know this already. How many accountants do you know that wear pink and purple dress shirts :) I am so glad you are having fun, I second Amie's comment about Grandpa. I know he would be so proud of you all, especial Dad. I am so glad he is there with you both.
