Hello everyone! We are in Barbados....safe and sound. We are loving it. Paul and Chris Moores met us with smiles, waves, and hugs at the airport and have been wonderful at showing us our new home for the week and getting us ready for our first presentation tomorrow morning for 400 students! We will leave the house tomorrow morning at 7:50am for our presentation at 8:45am. Tomorrow is an island wide track meet for the Bajan students in the afternoon, so we will only have one presentation. After the presentation we will go to Browns Beach for snorkelling and then on to Bridgetown for some shopping.
Our prayer request to you, our faithful blog followers, is in regards to the Seedlings Bags. We were supposed to hand, out bags of toys, school supplies, curriculum and a Bible but customs has held these bags since April 2011! Customs thinks that we wish to sell the items, but that is not the case. Until they can be convinced that these bags are going to the students free of charge they are holding them ransom. We do have the Bibles and curriculum to distribute but all of the other goodies and backpacks to hold them in are subject to the red tape of Barbados Customs. Please pray that these items will be released to us and that we can begin distribution of the bags as they were intended to be distributed while we are here.
