Spring Break/ Jamaica

Ode to Jamaica Mission Trip 2025

Jamaica 2025 was a week I’ll always treasure

Serving beside each of you was a great pleasure

Thank you for selflessly giving up your spring break

To do good for others and not for your own sake

This week you let your light shine and worked like saints

But a few of us about lost our religion over yellow paint

We worked really really hard but also had fun

These memories that we made can’t be outdone

Getting those tires out of the ground was really rough

In the race, Elyse fell, but she’s fine; she’s tough

The number of wasps was not very cool

And Eaton needs to learn that not all doors you pull

The wasps were not the only scary pests

Those rabbits caused a few of you quite a bit of stress

Poor Tammy had a leaky AC and a broken door

And a shower that’s water would drip not pour

The creepy Peace Corp man got more paint on him than the wall

Off that short ladder he had to have taken a fall

Anne Michael was not amused by her dinner at Mac’s

If she’s never served that again, to Jamaica she’ll come back

Kate needs McClain to not yell “paint” but “spill”

But her mess cleaned up fast and wasn’t that big a deal

We got Cavar home without causing an Amber alert

And at the airport watched Cole and Grant try to flirt

The bumpy road to Reach Falls I could’ve done without

But the scenery there was the best, without a doubt

We only had a few minor bumps and burns(Oliver) along the way

Until the bed was broken on our very last day

At Kingston airport, Rio mistakenly went in for a hug

Luckily, they didn’t arrest her and take a shot of her mug

Remember that there is “excellence through discipline” in all you do

I hope the lessons you learned this week are more than a few

People will mostly remember how you made them feel

Cause the way your treat others is a big deal

So continue be the hands and feet of Jesus each & every day

And spread His love for others along the way

Good Vibes Only!
