Adapting to Belize... where its still very hot

This is from Tuesday.  I was finally able to connect again tonight.....


The sun came out today, creating a scorching atmosphere. Everyone still gave work their all, putting in every last drop of energy they had.

In VBS this morning/afternoon there were easily twice as many kids, which was alot harder for us because keeping them attentive during the 2 1/2 hours we have is pretty tough. Even though its tough running around with them playing games, all of us and the kids bond so well, and have so much fun together. The smiles they get on their faces makes me smile alone! It's amazing how God can give us the love to spread to these children, who need it more than we do.

Constuction was... well, hot. We had the sun beating down our backs while crouching down in trenches tieing wires to hold rebars together. I felt like God really used all of our hands to work extra hard this afternoon, I didn't get a chance to stop and slow down and see what was going on around me but now that i think back at it- He really was shining through us all.

PS- it's 8:50 pm and it is 90 degrees in our room (with three fans going on high)
