Saturday -- Return to the USA

Saturday has its mixed emotions. We are happy to head home and see friends and family but leaving the friends we have made in Belize is hard also. After breakfast we take the team photo, stop for a brief shopping trip and head to the airport. It has been a rewarding week with the opportunity to serve the Belizian people and learn a lot about the country. May God bless this country. We thank all who have followed our adventure and supported us with your prayers. 

Friday in Belize

Our Thursday and Friday brigades were 
at San Antonio Pentecostal School.

The school rooms were as 
neat as a pin!

Friday, our last day in Belize.

Today we got to spend our last day at a school giving medical care and sharing the word of God with children and parents. On our way home we stopped at Big Rock Falls. It was  a great adventure! One of the many beautiful sights to be seen in Belize.

Thursday in San Antonio near Guatemala border

Today we traveled about an hour and twenty minutes to a small town near the Guatemala border called San Antonio. We worked in a school and had a chance to check many of the children  as well as adults from the town. The town has not had a medical team in eight years. The kids were very fun to have around us. A thankful and gracious community. 

Wednesday in Belize

The ride to the beach took us through the rainforest.

We stopped at a bakery for cinnamon rolls, and there were many flowers there. 

The Jaguar Reef Resort was beautiful. 

Kelly, our brigade leader, took us on catamaran rides.

The Caribbean Sea.

We ate lunch at the Resort. Yum!

           

We took a walk along the beach.

There weren't many people there.

A rather large lizard, about 1.5 feet long.

The hamburgers for dinner were great!

             

After a long day and after dinner at a hamburger place, we
boarded the bus for our mission site.
