On Columbus Day Belize style we spent the day in a variety of outreach activities, each of us at times pushing our comfort levels, and seeing God working all around us as a result. Our visit to the hospital should probably help most of us quit complaining about the US medical system, at least for awhile. We also saw a number of patients as we split into groups of three, and saw a lot of scared kids and sometimes parents, and we tried to pray over them and comfort them.
We visited an orphanage next, the new building under construction, because we wanted to talk to the orphanage director, and because it was a holiday a bunch of the kids from 2 months to 17 years old were around. I became friends with several boys because I played soccer in my bare feet in the gravel and mud, and talked soccer with them. Beverly found several babies that she wanted to take home with her. The new facility of the Kings Children's Home will be very nice, actually, a big improvement over the current facilities, and they hope to be in the new facilities by Christmas. We will be working with both the old and new orphanage locations during the rest of the week, and possibly playing more soccer.
