Joe & Andrea Miller joined the JRM team as Outreach Directors in late March. We have enjoyed getting to know them and working side by side.
Our house is still under construction, so we are in the area typically used for guests. Our current living space is 833 sq. ft. to share among 8 people. It is a good lesson in being grateful, since we realize many people across the world don't even have that much space. We are planning to start painting this week, but there is still lots of work to do. We are hoping to move back in by the end of June.
A group from South Carolina came to help with the roofing project. Thank you for your help!
During Easter break, all of JRM took a trip to Kingston to visit the Hope Zoo. We had a picnic lunch first at Hope Gardens, then went to see the animals at the zoo. It was a full day, but everyone enjoyed it!
Another fun thing over Easter was an egg hunt with the children.
It is always hard to say goodbye to staff. It is like saying goodbye to family. Kenetra had been our teacher for 2 school years, and Abbi was an auntie for 18 months. We wish them the best as they serve God elsewhere. Thank you for serving at JRM!
Here is an idea when you just need some space to yourself. Grab a book and a pillowcase, and you have your own private reading area.
Sierra, Jasmine, and Chloe are excited about the opportunity to attend Choral Camp in Ohio this summer!
Thank you for your interest in our lives, and for your support. Keep us in your prayers as we serve in Jamaica!
A few prayer items:
-Working together and getting along as we are displaced from our house, then also as we move back.
-Discernment in knowing who to help.
-That we could fulfill the vision of JRM.
