A Day of Sunshine

Yesterday was a wash....literally. It poured rain most of the morning so we could not work on the thatch roof or paint the outside of the school. We got a good start on Friday but Sunday we hung out at the house for the day. We planned our meetings and got that all done but everyone was getting a bit stir crazy in close quarters.

Today was very different....we rushed our breakfast and raced to the school for Week of Prayer meetings. The kids at the school were rearing to go and we began the week with great success. We divided our kids up into 7 groups with every one of our kids in leadership positions....they did great! The Belizian kids loved it. After one hour in the classrooms with each age group our kids made the change into work clothes and began to paint again...in the heat of the day they pushed through pulling weeds from the wall evading biting ants painted doors and walls all day long! At 4:00 we raced home, as fast as the bus could carry us for a quick shower/ocean swim for some, dinner and back to the school for the evening meeting. Geddy Pratt did the sermon. His topic, If God is so good, why is the World so bad. He did a wonderful job, the Lord blessed and everyone seems to really enjoy the meetings so far. Alijah White led out in the kids programing with good success. We had 30 guests which is wonderful. We are getting to know some new people and they are very eager to continue learning about God and His love for them. Praise God!



After the meeting we came home for worship and bedtime....night all....


Thanks for your continued prayers.
