The team is all back together!!!! Half of the mission team arrived in Belize yesterday; the rest arrived today. Laura greeted them all at the airport, and we shared a lunch together, then off to Dorothy Menzies! All were welcomed with hugs and smiling faces from all the little people. Old friends and new friends got to hang out and get to know each other. All agreed the children displayed better manners. Most of the credit is due to the onsite counselor, Pat Brown; some to our behavior modification program we supported this past year; and of course God's presence with us all.
Then we were given an amazing welcome party at Pat and Dave Brown's house, where we ate and shared a wonderful devotion. Our newbies had some emotional moments. It can be very overwhelming to meet the kids and put faces, hugs, laughs and identities to these precious children. Many of these kids have endured more pain than some of us will in a lifetime.
Tomorrow we have church and then horseback riding with the older kids. Please keep us all in your prayers.
