The evening after our return. Still a little bit in a 'culture' shock - it's hard to believe how different two places can be when only a 2 hour flight apart. I went to Mosaic this morning and saw our leader Janet, and then Don and Beverly, and Sue and Kevin in the Welcome Center, and everyone I saw seemed mostly recovered. I don't know if this is the best forum for more pictures, but I will put a few more of mine up tonight. As I didn't take my camera to the work site except one day, and to the orphanage at all, will have to depend on others for pictures there.
Will also put up the links for the Belmopan Methodist Church and the King Children's Center in Belmopan, in case anyone wants to look for more information on these two places. Both are doing amazing work in Belize, and worthy of support. As for me, I hope to continue going back, and continue building the Methodist high school in Belmopan, as education is extremely important no matter where you are, and especially in Belize.
We met some amazing people this past week in Belize - Ethel who cooked at our camp and also made lunches for the kids at the high school, Ray who owns and runs Camalote Camp where we stayed and has been supporting mission work in Belize for around 30 years and been a permanent resident of Belize for at least the last 10. The people at the church who took us to visit some of their older members on Monday, and brought us lunch each day at the church were awesome.
Glorie and Amir from Thirst Missions were both great, staying flexible, getting us from place to place, and keeping us out of harms way. Glorie will get to take her first plane trip, and first visit to the US(in fact her first time out of Belize not counting brief shopping trips north across the border to Mexico) in December, despite the fact that we made her late to her visa interview at the US embassy. We're hoping to talk her into visiting Houston along the way.
