Belize Day 2: Tuesday, July 7, 2010

This morning we had breakfast at 7:30am. After breakfast Peter led us in devotions and prayer. At 8:30am we waled over to the worksite, prayed, then got to work. Some of the team was working on prepping boards for the deck, another part of the team was getting the base of the deck in place, and the rest of the team worked clearing rocks from the property. May not seem important, but until that’s done they can’t get a mower on the property. It is very muddy and quite hot, but thank God it was cloudy. Of course, there is absolutely no stopping the sweat. It just pours and pours. We had to keep the sunscreen rocking and drink lots of water. Craig and I ran to the store and also bought Gatorade so we could replenish our electrolytes, and this really refreshed everyone. We had lunch - hot dogs, beans, and papaya, and then the team did another hour of work on the site. They just returned and are cleaning up so they can relax (which here simply means to sweat less) before dinner. This evening we are helping at Pastor Ron’s church. Ady will be teaching the Spanish Bible Study tonight and next Wednesday, so I helped her prepare this afternoon.

It’s really hot, and some of the kids are whooped working in the heat. Please pray for the health of the team. We have had one case of diareaha, but that student is now doing much better. We are staying right on top of their hydration, but would appreciate your prayers as well.
