Belize Day 5

We spent today helping to paint the outside of church, and starting to build steps to the front door. We had a few more people ask us when the church would reopen. What a blessing to know that they are waiting for the opportunity to either get back or begin to worshiping at the church again. It is very possible that many of the folks in the neighborhood simply cannot get to a church because they have no transportation, so a church that they can get to on foot is critically important, and we feel so incredibly blessed to be part of the process to make that possible.
We also had some neighborhood children latch onto us, and try to help us. We found a few things for them to do without losing them in the concrete we were pouring :)
For dinner, we sent to a sister's home who tried to teach us how to make pupusas from El Salvador http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupusa. Interestingly, there are large numbers of people in Belize form Guatemala, El Salvador, China, and other countries.
Ruth & I cannot adequately express the incredible feelings of blessings and gratitude that we feel, knowing that the Lord is using us (and you) in accomplishing His purpose in the world today.
Stay tuned...
