Our Daily Schedule

Good Morning!  We have a few minutes before heading out for our day's work at the church and I thought I'd write a post with our daily schedule, so that those of you following along at home know what we are doing during the day:

For half of the group our day starts at 5:50am when we gather at the front of the hotel to walk together to a local restaurant for breakfast.  The other half does the same thing 30 min later.

After breakfast we walk back to the hotel to sleep some more, enjoy some quiet time, and/or get ready for the day and gather again at the gate at 7:50 to walk to the church.

At the church we break off into the VBS team and construction.  Job are explained and assigned for construction and the VBS workers start greeting many of the kids who arrive early, ready to have fun with the teens.  VBS runs from 9-11:30am, and then the girls (who are required to wear dresses for VBS) change into work clothes so they can join in construction for the afternoon.

We break for lunch around noon and take an hour break.  The local restaurant, Joe Milon, that serves us breakfast and lunch, brings our lunch to the worksite in to-go containers.  Yesterday Brian Ruark (I'm sorry that I'm not sure how to spell his last name!) and his wife joined our group from Honduras.  Brian told a wonderful testimony to our group while we ate about how the Lord's many provisions got him and his wife to Corozal.  They also brought a teacher and good friend from Cocal Gracias with him, along with his wife and baby boy....who has been a joy to all of us!

After lunch we all head back to the construction site.  Work ends around 4 and we go back to the hotel to put on swim suits and head down to the bay to cool off after a hard days work.

Then we go back to the hotel to get cleaned up for dinner at the restaurant, which is at 6 for half the group and 6:30 for the other.  After dinner we come back to the hotel for our devotional at 7:15, followed by family groups.  After that our day is done and many people head off to bed or quiet time while the teens and youth workers stay up laughing and playing cards.

God has been so good to us & it is a joy to see the relationships that are being formed!
