Day 1

Well, we are here!!!!! The whole team made it to Belize and we are very excited. A part of our team, the Cain family, almost didn't make the plane, but thanks to the grace go God, they made it to Belize. Since our early morning, our long day of travel has consisted of driving to our hotel with a few stops to a grocery store and a souvenir shop. Belize is rainy but beautiful. It is humid and hot, but we love the weather! God surprised us with a CRAIZEY rainbow that stunned our eyes to end the day with a sky full of sun…AND RAINBOWS. When we arrived at our beautiful hotel and saw a Jaguar. NO, not the car, but a real live, really fast, probably hungry (because you cannot stick your fingers in the cage) Jaguar, but we are safe. We ended our long day with a more than tasty meal. Peyton secretly desired a chicken and cheese enchilada and a chicken and cheese enchilada is what we ate (God works in mysterious ways HUH?). They congratulated our visit with a cake that was delicious. With the team all together for once, we shared the moments we saw God working in our lives. It was in this that we saw God already working in our lives and relationships that were forming among the team. Rainbows and God’s grace on the Cain family’s arrival were among the many God moments today with many more to come. A long day…but we are grateful to be here. Please pray for our team as we make our first visit to El Progresso tomorrow where we will attend their church service then take some villagers to a “secret, non-touristy” waterfall and cave. Thanks to all that have supported us to get here! We appreciate your prayers and financial support in our efforts to build relationships and fulfill the purpose that God has set before us in Belize. p.s. We have been up since three in the morning so we are delirious p.s.s. The adults have turned the responsibility of the blog to the teenagers, so if you have further questions about our confusing yet informative posts, please comment and we will be happy to respond!!
