Today we shifted from the normal routine. This morning after breakfast and until 9am we all raked leaves and spread gravel in the driveway - the kids all helped by ripping out the grass that was beginning to grow. At 9am the kids from Easter school came, but today they were watching Night at the Museum on the big screen in one of the classrooms. Some of the team watched with them, others raked more leaves and cleaned. When the movie was over everyone finished sweeping and mopping the preschool rooms and verandas. Somewhere in the middle was a coconut excursion - we learned that you should eat the green ones! And so, we put the 'lime in the coconut' and it was delicious!
After lunch we went to Cayo to go swimming at a resort called Cahal Pech. It was a wonderfully refreshing afternoon and Chris even put on sunscreen! This evening we had a Good Friday service at the Step of Faith Church in Belmopan. The buses were full and the service packed. God was truly at work and His Spirit was present. Three people went forward to accept Christ as their Savior - Praise the Lord! The service was wonderfully put together and very moving!
Tomorrow is our day off - we are headed to Old Belize (a resort) to hang out on the beach, swim, play beach volleyball, go down the water slide, do the zip line, and have a wonderful Belizian lunch. Tomorrow morning we'll also see the bike race go past - this is one of the largest events in all of Belize. Hundreds of cyclists from multiple countries compete. We have seen them train for the race this past week. The race goes from Belmopan to Cayo and back.
God is good!
