While we are in Belize for another day and a bit, goodbyes were said to most of our friends here in Belize today. But today was about far more than saying goodbye.
Today started with a visit to the local school in Orange Walk. It was great to see Harold bring the Word of God to a school assembly of so many young hearts. We then went to our sites and got back to work for a solid productive morning to do as much as we could before leaving. Projects are finished, but the work will continue by the hands of the men and women we've been working with side by side all week.
We did another round of food/supply delivery to families in the communities around the churches we've been supporting. Praying for each one, encouraging them, and giving them hope through the demonstration of love, and providing for their material needs. This was easily one of my favorite activities of the trip.
Finally we wrapped up with a fellowship service at church in Caledonia. It was such a joy to get to celebrate our week of friendship, faith and fun. Many tears were shed next to lots of laughter and smiles. We'll miss our Belize family a great deal, but are excited to keep them in our prayers and see them again next year.

Seeing your pictures and reading your journal of the trip brings back a flood of memories from the mission trip I attended last year with Abby. Thank you for representing Asbury and carrying out the Lord's work.

Praying for divine protection in travels today, the outpouring a hunger for God for both missionaries and communities, and an overwhelming presence of the Holy Spirit. Hug Burton for me!
