Rockin' it out!by Tati | October 10, 2009 7:50 PM
I hope you can all see the pictures that were posted here...
So I do not have as many updates from the camp with the women, because they do not have as many connections to us...but you can count on getting some full stories once they get back here!!! Everyone is doing well though, they actually and a pretty intense worship night by the campfire. They had some sessions this afternoon and just really have had an opportunity to build relationships with the women of Belize.
The guys worked it hard today! We left for the orphanage this morning, and as we pulled up, the same question came to everyone...where are all the kids???!!!!
Answer: They had all the kids inside awaiting our arrival so we could go to work and not have them out and about (for our safety and theirs). We had a couple trips around, but the Belize crew that came to work with us, brought huge tools, a cement mixer, welder, trucks of everything we needed over the course of the day! It was such a blessing to all work together and really accomplish! We got going hard with the swings, prep with the playground, sanding, and so much more. Everyone found their place and really took ownership giving all they had. It was really incredible to see transformations taking place, and all the while...children just sat by the door watching every move that was taking place outside that they could see. Eyes truly fixated on every pound of the hammer, every screw that went into wood, all the cement being mixed...just picturing themselves outside being able to use everything!
I personally just want to say, for all of you that donated for this project (shout out to the youth as well) all the prayer that is behind this project, THIS PLACE IS GETTING BLESSED THIS WEEK....THESE KIDS ARE GETTING BLESSED THIS WEEK....AND IT IS ALL IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!!!!!
But that was the day, we WORKED...of course stopped for a short while to have some amazing lunch prepared by Ms. Maria...but then went right back to work.
Tomorrow we will be having Sunday School, Church and then going back to the orphanage. We plan to finish the volleyball, do some painting, dig the trench, and build the tree house! Then we are going to come back for church at night.
Please continue praying! Please pray for the words that will be spoken, for the worship that will will happen, for all who will be coming (including some of the kids from the orphanage). Please continue to pray for rewed strength and energy tonight, continued safety and the Lord's truth to be spoken.
Love ya'll!!!!!!!! And miss you all!!!!!
