Work Day!

by Angie | June 23, 2008 7:13 PM

The rest of our day yesterday went well. We met as a group for our missions training at 4pm. We had a lesson on life stories and how to share them this afternoon, we then formed groups of four to share and give affirmations to each of the people in our small groups. Spaghetti dinner was next with garlic bread and pineapple juice. Some of us changed into church clothes and went to the evening service, while others headed to the basketball courts for some sports time. Those at the church enjoyed some Spanish singing, a couple testimonies from another group, and a message from Pastor Angel in Spanish, which was translated into English. We then got on the church bus and went back to the hotel. While some were at the church the others rode the bus to the courts. We played basketball and got to spend some time with the natives living close by. All of us, excluding Katie (she was not feeling great), came back together for a team meeting at 8pm. There we discussed some highlighted from the day-some of which were how excited the church members were to see us and how cute the kids were as one slept on the floor in church and another danced in the isle. We heard about the history and mission of Praying Pelican and reviewed tomorrow’s activities. Today we had a breakfast of bread, eggs, papaya, and orange juice. We then went to our work site; four small houses. Some people worked on a roofing project, others on painting the inside room of the house, the rest painted the inside two rooms and one outside wall. The roof project is half way done; one side has been torn down, with the beams replaced as well as the roof itself. We rode back to the hotel and had hamburgers, fries, and pineapple juice for lunch. Our next task was to invite children to the school grounds to play some sports. The inviting was a chance to practice some Spanish. We had a basketball game, waffle ball, two soccer games, and Frisbee (which the native girls enjoyed). We were bused back to the hotel for a break before headed off for some dinner. For dinner we had some Mexican fast food and fries with watermelon juice. We walked back to the hotel for a meeting in which we played Belize Trivia and discussed how our day went. Now we have a break until curfew at 9pm.
