We all loaded into a bus to head to Manchester, Jamaica for this past week. It's about 3 (long) hours away. I say long because it was bumpy roads and curvy almost the whole time. A bunch of u got car sick, but at least no one threw up (thank goodness!!)
We stayed at another YWAM base called Stone's Hope. It really was beautiful here. It's out in the country with lots of farm land. It was a lot more quite and peaceful verses Montego Bay. The temperature was quite a bit cooler too. It was a nice change.
We went exploring in the run-down "great house" on the base. The property at Stone's Hope used to be a coffee plantation. This was the "master's tub". The buiding we were in was about 300 years old.
Having some fun doing photo shoots. :) We found outside showers.
We named the cow Josh because one of the girls thought our Josh (DTS student) was having fun making cow noises in the morning, before she realized that there was actually a cow on the base. LOL.
This is Paula. She's 21 like myself and is actually on staff at this base. I got really close to her. She did her DTS a year ago in Kona, Hawaii.
This base also holds a school for Jamaican kids. Many of the staff are also teachers.

On one of the days, we split into groups and had a contest. In 10 minutes, we had to blow up a big balloon and try to draw the world on it and name a many countries as we could. Our group probably listed the most countries, but I have to say, we didn't have the prettiest globe.
On our last day there, Dave Harper (who was our speaker for the week) led a sexual purity ceremony. We each made covenant and got a bracelet as a symbol of the promise we were making.
