Leaving Punta Gorda - Going Home

We got up early in the morning to eat a quick breakfast and load the bus with all our luggage. We are headed home! God has blessed us with many rich experiences. Our kids have gained experiences that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Service for the King of Kings, sharing of the gospel message, bonds in friendship with those abroad and at home and insight into the lives of people outside our country. We are so very grateful for all the support in prayer and finances that our church family have provided. The souls that are touched and changed are not just the Mayan and Belizian people but the next generation from our very own home church. See you all when we get home.

Excursion to Snake Island

We spent the day yesterday on Snake Island. It was so relaxing! We saw so many fish and had a great day in the sun.

As we worshiped last night together as a family, we reflected on our talents and the joy that comes with service for our Saviour. Many of the kids shared the trials and struggles and we all made the connection to the Joy that was set before Jesus - redeeming us, and the joy that comes in serving others even when things get hard.

Today is our final full day in Belize. We will be painting the San Antonio church with a coat of white paint. One more project to complete. We leave very early tomorrow morning to catch our plane to Houston and then on to San Francisco. Please pray for our safe travel. We have enjoyed our time here and pray that the time we spent leaves a lasting impression on those who's paths we've crossed of Jesus love and care for all of us.
