Hi! Today was our fun
day. We spent the morning looking at all
the projects, including the house we did last time. We then went to Caye Caulker where some of us
shopped and the others snorkeled.
Needless to say we are all tired and a bit sunburned. We spent the evening eating at a restaurant
and being with our friends from Belize.
They are very thankful for all the work we did. Kept repeating what a blessing we are to
them. If they only knew what a blessing
they really are to us. They keep us
humble. Walking with Shavonnie made me
think about how if each one of us gave $5 a month to her that would be enough
to pay her bills and most likely her cancer treatments. If only…
I am so incredibly thankful that I get to come here and continue
deepening my relationships with them. Looking
forward to the next time. –Sonjia
Today was our free day. After breakfast, we looked at the
work of all three projects. Then we took a forty-five minute boat ride to Caye
Caulker. But first, I went snorkeling for the very first time. It was a blast
getting to see barracudas and getting to touch a Nerf Shark. At Caye Caulker, I
went shopping with Hannah and Jennifer, and of course, they did most of the
shopping. Then we all went back to Belize City and went out to eat at Bird’s
Isle, which is about five blocks from where we were staying. I’ve had so much
fun on this trip. I really hope to comeback to Belize when I’ll be in college.
Thank you other members on this team for treating me like family. –Stephen
This week has been challenging but a successful trip. We are
all worn out & ready to do it all again on the next trip our church takes.
Getting to see past friends & meeting new ones is something I have really enjoyed
this week. Our team has done a great job of connecting & getting our tasks
finished. I am blessed to be here with many family members, girlfriend &
friends. It has been great to be part of the 2015 Belize team. – Sean
This week I have been challenged several times! Usually on
these types of trips I am a leader I know what im doing and I get it done and I
tend to boss people around! This time I was on the other side I don’t know to
much about construction so I got bossed around and I was very challenged by
that. Today we didn’t do any work we went to the island of caye caulker and had
our free day and I am very burt!! This week over all was a very successful week
and I am very glad I decided to come back for my second trip!!- Cody
This week in Belize has been an awesome time of meeting new
people and facing new challenges. A group of us worked at the Bible Society to
break down three walls and rebuild them. It was challenging to keep mixing
cement day after day but very fulfilling to see our hard work pay off. It has
been a blessing to work with the children and to see their excited faces each
afternoon. I am very thankful for my time here and am glad the Lord pushed me
out of my comfort zone to serve Him here in Belize.
