The Work Site

Today is our final workday...we have finished the painting of the school and thatched the church building. The past few days were a whirlwind of activity.

Family Worship


Each day we get up around 5:00 to 6:00 AM. We gather for family worship and then have our personal time with God for about 30 min. After that it's breakfast and a hurried loading of the bus to get to the school by 8:00 AM. On Monday and Friday we had our AY meeting which is where all the kids come together for worship and games.

Worship At School



At the school, our kids divide into 7 teams and present a Bible lesson to each class including the preschoolers. So much fun...The Belizian children learned the new songs that we taught them and we enjoyed hearing them throughout the day as we painted and worked on the school. Their voices rang clear through the missing doors that we painted. Every so often we would hear them recite spelling words or solutions to their math problems and then they would sing songs again. It was awesome!

The kids worked hard through the morning in the intense heat. Painting, taping the walls, doors and door jams. Others worked on rolling the paint on the walls on both buildings.
