Update from Hope Church Memphis
Day 4

by Angie | June 24, 2008 8:28 PM

This morning for breakfast we had cantaloupe, eggs, tortillas, and papaya juice. We then headed to our work site-the pastor’s house where we started a new work project-his shed. Another project that we worked on was to prepare a floor for the shed. For this we needed to break apart rocks with sledge hammers. We enjoyed lunch then it was back to the site for some and over to sports for the others. Those doing construction continued with the rocks; the people with sports enjoyed playing red rover and red light green light. Again, we split up some at construction and others to VBS. For Vacation Bible School there were many more kids that came. They participated in music and seemed to enjoy themselves. Next, we went back to the hotel to get cleaned up for church and to eat some dinner. We walked to church and enjoyed a Spanish service in which everyone got up and participated in the worship service. Now it is off to a team meeting.

Just a note to let you know I love you and am very proud of what you are doing to help sustain God's work. That is what He asked of us...care for each other. Those who don't have...we give. Those who do have...we share. Thank you for being who you are and sustaining what I know is true in your heart. I love you and am praying for each of you!! God will truly bless each of you as you carry on what He has taught us to do.

Yesterday was sad, having to celebrate Brett's birthday with him so far away. But we know God has him in Belize for a reason and will watch over he and Janna as they lead the group. We hope everyone there helped him celebrate his birthday. We will continue to pray for your group, your spreading God's word, His love, your love, and a safe trip home.We love you Mouse. Mom & Dad

What up, Matt?!!! It's your favorite - ok, its your only Godfather, letting you know that I am so proud of you and your team for taking this life changing journey! My advice to y'all is to connect on a personal level with as many folks as possible - get to know them, even if you only have a short amount of time with them... extend your hand first and they will respond... As I learned years ago with my volunteer work, it only takes one person doing one small task to have a profound impact on the lives of many... Remember that the personal connections you make down there will become cherished memories for you, and they will impact the lives of the people of Belize forever. You will never be the same after this trip - your life and world perspective will forever be changed... and I know exactly how that feels, so I am just beside my cute self with joy for all of you! Sending my best wishes and prayers for all of you! Your Mac Daddy loves ya!
