Wednesday Update!

Hi Everyone,
There have been some internet issues here at the mission house, so our apologies for the late postings.  We had another incredible day! Since our painting job is so huge at the school; the team ate a quick breakfast and then hit the road.  We painted all morning, until we attended the Ash Wednesday service with the students.  Some of our team performed a liturgical dance that was really, really, powerful. The team found the entire service really moving.  What a blessing to worship with our brothers and sisters here in Belize.  We ate a quick lunch, and then went back to painting for another hour.  Of course, in the midst of this hour there was also a bunch of playing with the children during their break time and lunch time. 

Aroud 1pm, we struck out on our afternoon excursion.  We drove toward the Guatemalan border and visited some amazing Mayan ruins. It was an extremely hot,  and sticky day, but that didn't stop the team from climbing to the very top of the tallest ruin. The weather did make our swim in a nearby swimming pool that much sweeter.  Then our group did a little shopping for souvenirs before going out for a nice dinner in a restaurant in St. Ignacio.  Altogether, I don't think I've ever seen a more sleepy group of teenagers at 9:10pm.  As we debriefed the day, many of us couldn't pick a favourite moment... because the day was filled with too many fantastic moments.  We are very grateful to God for the people that he has placed in our pathes and the special moments of fun that have blessed each day.

I can't thank people enough for your prayer support. 

- Tracey's foot continues to heal. She is now walking carefully, and she was able to join us for the hike to the Mayan ruins.
- We continue to work in the hot sun without any signs of heat stroke or heat exhaustion
- Our team continues to grow closer together

Please continue to pray for:

- Safety and good health as we continue to paint the school tomorrow.
- Sound sleeps, since we have another very full day for our last two days in Belize
- That God would speak to the hearts of our team members, and that they would experience him in new ways in the days ahead
