In El progresso today, Wednesday, the 4 women continued another day of teaching at the school in the absence of a teacher. The children love to have recess and are grateful they are able to go to school because not all the children are able to.
At the work sight, they put in the shutters, roofing, and dug through the hard rock to complete the septic hole. At lunch, barriers were broken as people from both groups share their testimonies. We had moved from being their guests to being a family and united in Christ. Our relationships with them have been developing deeper with each other and we are learning most everybody name in the village.
We also discovered there is a "poisonous tree" that through the air can make someone swell up like a balloon. Some of our team have had pretty bad cases of swelling and look different. It was a scare this morning when one of the team, Morgan, woke up with a big face and eyes almost shut from swelling.
Each night ends with us gathering on the porch of our accommodations to sing, pray, share, and continue to realize that Christ calls us to see that He who is in us is greater than he that is in the world.
Hello, friends and family in Belize! I want to offer a special shout-out to your blogger(s). I've been noticing the time stamps on your post, and realizing the 'midnight oil' you're burning to keep us posted up here, after a long and full day down there.
ReplyDeleteBeen there, done that ... literally, I have been THERE and done THAT, and appreciate so much your web work. God bless you, and all our mission team!
