We have all arrived safely in Crooked Tree, Belize! Today we led a couple of church services at the Nazarene church where we are staying and were also able to walk around the village and pray and do home visits. Keep this week in your prayers. We are all open for God to move in big ways and we cannot wait to see how He uses each one of us!

The team in Crooked Tree is having an amazing week!! A note to all back home, the internet connection is currently down in the Crooked Tree area. The staff there will post the next journal entry as soon as they are able. In the meantime, rest assured that the team is well and enjoying their mission experience!

We've been having such a great time down here in Crooked Tree!! Vacation Bible School and Drama Camp is in full gear and there are lots of kids showing up every day to just hang out and hear the word of God! There have been crafts, singing, and sports and everyone seems to be enjoying it immensely!!

On Monday afternoon we started our service painting project! Crooked Tree Nazarene owns a home on the property and we are able to bless the church with a fresh coat of paint on that house. God has definitely been good and gracious with giving us cooler weather to work in.

Tuesday's youth night was also a great success. Older kids from all over Crooked Tree came to the church to hang out, play games, and hear some awesome testimonies from the team. There are Godly relationships being formed left and right, and we are all excited to be a part of God's bigger plan.

God is moving in big ways down here, and we hope that you all at home continue to pray for us. We are seeking God's face in all that we do, and we pray for strength and guidance and wisdom to go and say and do what HE wants us to go and say and do.

Some of the team with kids learning songs to perform later!!

Crafts with the vacation bible school kids!

Sometimes God calls us to serve in ways we don't expect...

...like a little bathroom clean-up!!

We've been having such a great time teaching the kids some fun songs about the Lord at drama camp every morning!!

Painting the house owned by the Crooked Tree Nazarene Church! It was such a gorgeous day too!!

Halfway through with the trip now! Friday we all had the opportunity to travel into Belmopan to visit St. Herman's cave and the Blue Hole! Here is a picture of everyone enjoying God's wonderful amazing creation!!

We are enjoying a wonderful Sunday here in Crooked Tree! We had a wonderful Sunday Service where we worshipped as one with the Nazarene Church here in Crooked Tree. What an amazing thing to be able to worship the one true God with fellow believers. We had our Village BBQ today which brought out kids and families of all ages to share hotdogs and fellowship with one another. God is doing some amazing things here in Crooked Tree and we can't wait to share them when we return home. Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare for tonights church service, our VBS, and all our other activities this week. God Bless and We miss you!

We are all safe and having a blast here on this wet Monday here in Belize. The day started out sunny and dry but then shortly after lunch, where we celebrated Tyler's 18th Birthday!, as we were picking up trash at the basketball courts the heavens let loose and the rain began to pour. However, we all continued with a smile and finished right as the rain stopped. We celebrated our victory with a football game in the rain and then the girls began to prepare for their afternoon Bible study. God has blessed us soo much this week and we know that he will continue to bless us up until we leave on Thursday and then way beyond that. Please keep us in your prayers as we keep you in ours. God Bless and have a great Monday!
