Belize Day 9: Wednesday, July 14, 2010

This morning we had the same routine. Christine led us in devos and prayer. Ron picked us up at 8:15am, and after a quick stop at his church to change vehicles, we loaded into a van, and a pickup truck and drove another 15-minutes to our worksite for the day - a home Ron is building for Jose Cruz - a man with kidney failure who has become an advocate for getting dialysis machines into Belize. We mixed cement and poured a ramp for him, as he is an amputee and in a wheelchair. We also hung masonite in several rooms of the house. We worked quite hard. At noon we changed then drove to a town where we ate tacos, panadas, tostadas, etc. Very good! We then went to the Xunantunich Mayan ruins and climbed the pyramids. Was really amazing! I almost caught a 3-foot iguana. I got a finger on his tail as he dove into his cave hole in the side of a ruin. Would have been icing on an otherwise perfect trip. lol! We came back to camp, cleaned up, had dinner, then were off again to Step of Faith Church where we ministered. Adriana taught in the Spanish Bible study, I taught in the English Bible study, and the rest of the team did the children’s program. It was a very good night! After a bus ride back to camp, we were treated to ice cream by Craig and Jadine, and had a team debriefing meeting. Was really great hearing from everyone about their experiences and learnings. We are now packing, cleaning, and showering so we can get out right after breakfast tomorrow. Can’t wait to get home! Thanks for your prayers and thoughts!
