Happy Sabbath

Several of the kids took a canoe ride on the river this morning while others took a hike along a well traveled trail in the jungle. We saw toucans flying over head as we enjoyed our morning swim in the river. The beautiful Belizian sunrise is amazing and the echoing voices of the Howler monkeys and tropical birds ring in our ears! God is so good! We pray that you are well and happy on this blessed Sabbath day!

We are finished with a wonderful breakfast and headed in the bus to the San Antonio Seventh-day Adventist church. Brian will be preaching the sermon. We will be meeting many of the young children from VBS there. We gave them an invitation yesterday at our last VBS meeting.

After church we printed out the last of the children's VBS certificates. We also took pictures of families and printed them out to those who wanted one. It took us almost two hours to finish the task. Everyone felt good about leaving a treasured family picture for the Mayan people. Most of them do not ever have an opportunity to have any photo of themselves or their family. We are all blessed to be a part of that.

Brian and Yihang got the job done in the heat of the day inside the church building. Thanks guys for your patience and diligence.

We spent the afternoon in God's amazing creation. We rode the bus to the Mayan village of Blue Creek. There we hiked along the river and through a cave that has a waterfall at the end of it. There are beautiful birds and butterflies all around and we even found the insect called a "Walking Stick"
