Hola from Belize ..Wow, another delicious breakfast with Pastor Caleb and Aida. We had fresh eggs, corn tortillas, biscuits, and amazing goat cheese. Then off to Benque, a little town east of our hotel and on the border of Belize and Guatamela. We arrived with great anticipation and were not disappointed when 70 showed up. Again, the team was fully engaged with the children..giving and getting lots of hugs and high fives. Our youth gave ALL they had. Our boys....Isaac, Austin, and Chapman were so enthusiastic while running down the street with swim rings around their heads...the kds loved this relay game. I think they just liked watching our boys look silly:) . While the boys were outside, Cade and Aaron were sharing about how Jesus is THE SUPERHERO. When we asked the kids to name superheros, they yelled GOD!!! Isn't that great??? They already know Jesus is the the Hero....what a testimony to the church leaders in this Latin community, Then to end the day our youth all sat with children to help make a superhero necklace. We loved watching Bailey, Mikayla, and Margo sit with the kids in the floor patiently stringing beads and crosses. We pray that many families lives will be changed because of the message that was shared today.
After a hard day serving the kids, we took a long hike up a big hill to see Xunantunich,,,,,the ancient Mayan ruins on the way back to San Ignacio... great tourist attraction and lesson in history ... also a great lesson in what happens to people who serve a lesser god than the true GOD of the universe ...
And another great GCC Missions bonus ... Brother Hector took us to an amazing spot on the river ... he grew up visiting this spot as a kid and loves to "play hard" after working hard ... the photos speak a thousand words !!!!!
Of course, another great chicken dinner ... I think this is the only mission trip where we actually GAINED an inch !!!!!!!!
Off to Belmopan in the morning ... hate to leave Caleb and all our friends here in San Ignacio ... but bigger things await us with Pastor Lee in The Capital city
God Bless us all !
