We returned to the Jamaican Christian School for the Deaf today. We did devotions with all of the students, which consisited of Emily reading a story and a teacher interpreting, doing a memory verse, singing a few songs, and praying. Then we helped out in the classrooms. Susan was in a level 3 class, Emily in a classroom of older children, and Amy in the special education class. We all learned a lot of sign language and had a lot of fun. We are slowly learning everyone's sign names and not having to ask quite as many times to "fingerspell slow again please!" After school was done, we tried to find somewhere to buy seeds to plant in the garden at JCSD, but our adventure around Montego Bay left us seedless. After some quick showers, we went out to eat at a restaurant called Island Grill with our driver Mikey. We tried lots of new foods and liked most of them. We had jerk chicken, callaloo rice, festival, bammy wedges, and lots of different kinds of pop (or soda for any weird Wisconsins reading this). We recently discovered that we have a fourth roommate in our room. Please pray as he is currently missing his tail. IT'S A LIZARD! We don't know where he is and we are quite paranoid about finding him in our beds. Also, we will be moving out of our room tomorrow night and staying in a room on the first floor instead as there is a large group coming to stay at Fairhaven. We are still loving it down here and are sad that we only have 13 days to go.
