Day 4

Blog Today we split up into different teams. My group went to Julios and Janets house to cook up some grub for the rest of the groups. Chicken soup was on the menu for the day, containing 14 chickens along with veggies and rice. At first Janet was a little apprehensive about having four newbies in her kitchen but she quickly found it pretty comical when we couldn’t form a simple tortilla (she had to get this dusty tortilla press for us to use). After a couple hours of cooking we completed the soup and it smelt like heaven in a cast-iron pot. So we hauled it to the Church where the rest of the team was painting and they were pumped for the delicious food! -Kendall, Patrice, Shelly, and Savannah

Mia, Caroline, Olivia, Ferrell, Raymond, Ann Marie, Ashlyn, Maddie, and Abby Cain (which is most of the kids), Theresa Cain, Chrissie Mee, and Mac went to the school and did crafts, art work and music in the classrooms. We had so much fun creating deeper relationships with the kids. Caroline, John, and Raymond's birthday is Thursday!!! and a sweet little girl named Edith figured this out yesterday and brought Caroline earrings for her birthday along with a card that talked about Caroline and the team's impact in her life just in the past couple of days. Instances such as these give us a remind us of the purpose that God has for us in Belize. The third and final group of our team gave many sacrifices in working in the church all day. They painted primer on the inside of the church in preperation for the paint tomorrow. Tomorrow we will be in the school and church doing similar work. Please continue to pray for the team as we travel to El Progresso and pray for the members of the community as they were struck by a tragic death by one of their community members.
