Here We Go!

It is Friday evening and suitcases and duffle bags are being packed and hoping they are under the 50 pound limit imposed by the airlines.  We have all checked and rechecked our packing lists making sure we don't forget the necessities, and leave superfluous items at home.  Insect repellant and sunscreen are two items that  I have double checked as packed.

The meds and supplies for the clinics are packed in large totes, many of which weigh right at 50 pounds.  Constructions supplies are ready - only one tote - since most of what we need will be purchased or borrowed from the Baptist Training Center.

Although we missed the snow Thursday night, we know it will be cold as we load up at church 5:30 AM on Saturday morning.  Here is what we can expect when we arrive in Belize and for the week:

So, Tropics here we come!  We ask for your prayers as we travel Saturday to Charlotte, fly to Belize, and drive to the Baptist Training Center in Camalote.  Pray for the medical team and the people they will see and work to heal al week.  Pray for the construction team as they work at the Santa Elena School. Pray for our safety, health, and spiritual well-being.  It is exciting to go on mission, for many of us to return to Belize, serve our brothers and sisters there, and to reconnect with our friends there.  Thank you for supporting us.  As long as there is an Internet connection, this blog will be updated while we are there.
