Day 6 after building 14 houses in 5 days, we cleaned up the base and headed to the beach as an award! It was good down time for everyone. I was able to spend some time with the builders and volunteers before everyone heads home tomorrow. What a great week and I cannot thank YWAM, Why Not International, Mission Uprising and Operation Blessing for all of the great work they do! Thanks again to the YWAM builders for their hard work and dedication! Thanks to the volunteers that gave up a week with their families, I will cherish the memories and friendships I have gained!

Day 5 - final day of building thai week - another 3 homes today! Cannot say enough about the people that were there to help! Just amazing workers and people! Couple challenges today as we are running low on supplies. We built the gable ends on site today and lifted them as a team straight up. Myself and another volunteer ran back to the base so I learned to drive on the left side of the road and stick from that side of the vehicle - good challenges! The funny part is we navigated back to the site via memory of land marks because we didn't have gps - gps had taken us downtown Montego Bay - wow what an experience 🤣

Day 4 - another 3 houses built and I got to work with just a great build crew! Shout out to Pablo and Nikolei (spelling). They worked the roof today and it was blazing! Such an honor to work alongside these amazing humans! The guy and his daughter were there today and she was very sweet - she climbed up and took a nap in one of the women's lap.

Day 3 - 3 houses built on a light bulb day! Very hot and the team worked hard to complete the houses! From digging materials out from hiding places to carrying materials to needed locations, drinking lots of water and electrolytes, we successfully completed the tasks! The guys works so hard!

Day 2 was spent prepping for the next days builds while other teams went out to 3 build sites! The process was intense! There needed to be enough materials ready for the next day builds (3 houses), loaded and dropped at the sites! We moved and painted exterior sheeting, trusses, lumber to frame the walls and connecting trusses, the trim, the windows, door, metal sheeting for the roof, drywall and the beasts (Gable ends) to help make the jobs of all of the build teams easier. Bling was fun to work with! You must honor his truck! We were told to be "flexible" as some times material might be late or need more or some other challenge. Amazing day!

Day 1 build in the books - 2 homes created for families that lost them during hurricane Melissa! What a great crew of volunteers putting in the work with smiles on their face for the woman we built for!

Day 0 - setting up and prepping for building 15 homes with YWAM Jamaica, Mission Uprising, Why Not, Operation Blessing, World Vision and others! What an incredible group of humans! I'm so blessed to do my part.
