Location Teen Missions Belize,
Greetings from the Belizian Loggers!!
BMW STUDENTS: All are doing well, in good spirits and positive attitudes. There is no sickness in the camp except for Allie who is not feeling well, and says she gets sick every trip she takes overseas. She is taking medicine but hasn't seemed to help. They have been accomplishing a good bit of work. This evening in group devos a count was taken of the number of stumps removed - 18, in 2 with 10 people working on them. We have had excellent working weather, cool evenings and mornings with warm afternoons. Bill enightened us with a Belzian weather forecast of the weather, "It will be sunny unless it is cloudy; will be dry today unless it is raining...."
They have been working 8 hours with rise and shine at 5:30 am and quit time at 3:30 which gives time for clean up after work before supper as it gets dark at 5:30. Sunday we plan to attend 2 churches, one being a Mennonite in the morning and Ben's church in the evening, with presentation at both churches. Next Wednesday we have arranged for sight seeing day, some want to take the recommended Mayan tourist area, and most going to the cheaper Mayan ruin location. The team has been cutting down trees as well as digging out stumps, some being the poison trees. Praise the Lord we haven't had any major outbreaks yet, although Danny Stuckey has become victim of the poison sap.
They are eating very well and Cindy was happy with the food that was sent with the team. With quitting time at 3:30, we have been starting our prayer closet at 11am, then after lunch 12:30 until 3:30. Water is being purified through bucket purifier. Some have been a bit chilly at night as most only brought a sleeping-mat, expecting it to be all warm all the time, however the evenings cool down very comfortably.
STAFF: Matty K is doing great and has been having Dan Martin help him repair the fence around property. Matt thinks by the end of the week most if not all the fence should be repaired. Shannon has been cutting down trees, clearing area for the wind turbine. The chain saws available on property didn't quite make through the day on tuesday, so a few trees were axed down! Mike helped cut and remove a poison tree on monday, and tuseday repaired the roof. We have been running Bill in circles with all the questions of where things are that we need for jobs, and which trees are poison, and where to pile the brush. The Griffins have been great hosts, we are enjoying serving with them here.
