Being on mission is a unique experience. A blend of personalities working together in difficult conditions trying to accomplish too much in too little time. Even with the best laid plans, things always change and usually don't go the way you had hoped. Ultimately, however, the work is in God's hands and as long as the work goes the way He planned, all is good. This week has brought us incredible weather and many gifts. We had the privilege of being in Belize at the time a family of 5 is here discerning long term mission work. The oldest son has been a great help on the main project. There was another group also discerning mission work that stopped by to help for one morning. We needed steps built for the building and it happened that one of the members was very adept at building steps! A young man stopped by Monday morning when he saw us loading wood and said he was looking for work and asked if we could use help, He was a very capable man...
I arrived in Belize today and began the final preparations for the mission. I went out to see the site where we will be doing our main work. Due to the size of the structure we had to have the footings done before we arrived. We hired some local labor to do this work. The area we are building in was quite swampy so we also had some landfill put in before the work began. We are undertaking a big project, but I have faith that our team can do it! Thank you for all the prayers; This trip would not be possible without them.
