Live, from Barbados!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by to check out our trip blog. Barrett and I are on a week long missions trip to Barbados, a first for both of us. The mission: help build a dining hall for the missions base.

The mission tonight, however, is to get some sleep! We arrived at the base around midnight. We have a lot of guys in a relatively small space and the temperature is pretty hot for this time at night.

Hmmm... this isn't Lake Zurich anymore.

Mr. Jim in the next bed over says there are monkeys in trees up the hill. Barrett has that "Dad, are there really monkeys here?" look on his face. I'm thinking Jim's making up stories but other confirm it. We're officially on monkey watch from then on.

Time for sleep. Thank you, Lord, for a safe travel down here.
