Day 2

Today was great!! We went to El Progresso for the first time as a team and met the people that we will be working and spending time with all week. Sunday church was a bit different from the “hour” of worship we are familiar with. Pastor Victor delivered a sermon about the impact they are feeling with the team being present. Pastor Philip (the church planter) asked the team to stand at the front of the church with the congregation standing behind us as they blessed us for our efforts we are doing in Belize. These prayers were impactful and a great way to start our week. After hearing a sermon from Walter about blessings, we shared meals with the 40 church member and the 31 team members. We had delicious chicken, rice and tortillas which is a common meal in Belize, so this will not be the end of chicken, rice, and tortillas. Duck duck goose and baseball were among the many activities that we shared together just after lunch on church grounds.

The country was beautiful before one o’clock today, but after one o’clock is was even better! With about 20 kids from El Progresso, we hiked down to a stunning waterfall where we swam and (sorry mom) jumped off some high cliffs. The weather started out rainy, but, again, God is great and gave us sunlight to enjoy the rest of the great day

After about three hours of swimming, we headed back to the jungle at Banana Boat Lodge. We ate some chicken fried steak and some moist potatoes paired with some MORE CAKE!! The team debriefed our eventful and God graced day in a meeting with songs and talking! GREAT DAY AND MORE TO COME! KEEP POSTED! LIKE IF YOU WANT A VLOG! WE ARE STILL SLEEP DEPRIVED BUT WE WOULD BE SO UP FOR IT!!!!!!!
