Greetings from Belize! Bayside Baptist arrived safely and on time Friday. Everyone is excited to begin ministry. At the airport we met the Tennessee team we will be ministering with this week. The team also met our leader, Tati, and two co-leaders Ian and Janell. Next we traveled to Hattieville, the village we will be ministering at. The rest of our group met up with us there and we went together to a nursing home and spent time talking, singing, and praying with the folks there. Pastor Mark, the pastor of the Hattieville church, treated us to a wonderful chicken and rice dinner, and after a group meeting most everyone went to bed early. Today after breakfast everyone worked together to paint the outside of the church. With 48 people total on the team the work went very quick. We had to stop short because of rain, but will finish soon. It already looks great! This afternoon we traveled west to Belmopan and had a wonderful time visiting with the children of the orphanage. We played soccer (that is, "football"), frisbee, painted a girl's nails, braided hair, and blew soap bubbles. The children loved it, and the team was sad to go. This afternoon the team is leading a VBS program at the church. We expect as many as 150 kids! We've split up into 4 different stations for the children, and everyone is excited to begin. We will be posting pictures soon. Please keep us in your prayers, and check back soon!
