First day in Trini

Made it to Trinidad successfully last night and were greeted with a warm welcome from TTUM. We found out we would be staying in the rooms that we laid the concrete for 4 years ago. The rooms look great and are very spacious. There is a large retreat group staying at the compound now and another large group will be here when they leave, so there will be no shortage of festivities going on throughout the week. This morning we had an orientation led by Jennifer where we learned all about the culture of Trinidad, customs, religions, etc. Then, this afternoon we went out to Five Rivers and recruited kids to come to VBS this week. The amount of space we will have for VBS seems pretty small, but I'm sure we will figure it out. Nonetheless, we talked to a lot of folks and expect a great turnout. Tonight, we will have church led by Pastor Bachew, founder of TTUM, and then we will prepare for the first day of VBS tomorrow. We look forward to what God has in store for us this week!
