Happy 4th of July!
July 5, 2010 – 12:54 amHappy 4th of July! I have always loved the 4th! The camping, family memories, food, fun and fireworks! Great times! Thank you to all that have sacrificed their lives to bring freedom to our country!
Things have been busy here in Belize the last month. We have had so many opportunities to show the love of Christ in such tangible ways! Over the last two years we have been building a relationship with a remote village called Machakilha. It takes over an hour to drive to and then up to 3 hours to hike to. We have taken several teams up into the village to provide ministry, food, games, and medical care. This last month we took a group of our friends and they did a fishing clinic. They brought fishing poles to leave with the families. It was such a great experience!
The second thing we were able to do was take the village to the Belize Zoo. Most of these families had never traveled outside of their village. Because of the long hike out of the village and five hour bus ride to the zoo this was a three day event. This was the first time for them to sleep in a bed, brush their teeth, eat Peanut Butter and jelly, see their country and of course go to the zoo. The families were so grateful for the opportunity and the smiles were priceless!
We have also been working hard in the building and the progress is amazing! We are plastering the walls on the second floor and have ordered all the cabinets. We are continuing to have a great response for teams to come down and help and are already booking into 2011; including a team of 110 that would like to come next March. I must say that one makes me a little nervous! I thought cooking for 56 was hard; thinking of almost double that amount is CRAZY! But, God is good and if they are suppose to be here He will provide the help
I would really like to do concrete counter tops at least in the kitchen, if you know of anyone that has expertise in this area and would be willing to help us could you please let me know.
I have added new pics online here is the link:
