Here's a report from Rebecca Rhodes, one of our six Student Thunder missionaries to Trinidad:
hey everyone from trinidad! it is amazing here! the people are great, the island is small, the temperature is comfuratable (except at night, the host family turns the air down to about thirty degrees) and the people are so kind. I must admit i miss you all! The food is very diffrent. Yesterday we had doubles (kind of like a chalupa from taco bell but more moist). Today we had goat meat, mangos in curry, chicken in curry, and pumpkin. we are not supposed to drink the water here because it could make us sick. well i almost got sick today! We visited two hindu temples and one catholic church. Yesterday we went on a ship calle LogosII, we were drafted to do puppets for the kids. All of us would be very greatful if you would keep us in your prayers! Culture shock is TERRIBLE...i have already experienced some. the first day we arrived, i was the random check person. that was fine and i went outside...then two police officers came out and said that i had meds in my bag and that the police
officer said i couldnt leave, that was the moment i was dreading. One of the police officers was kind, but the other was hateful. Once they told me they had mistaken me for someone else a wave of relief flew over me and began to shed some tears. That made the first night very hard for me! it is getting better, we are making friends and enjoying doing Gods work. Please be praying and I love you and miss you all. May God go with you!
Read Genesis 39:41!!
In trinidad you don't say hanging out you say liming. So im going liming tonight!!!
