Belize - Friday

The house is complete!!!

Yes - we got walls up inside, a roof on top and a front door that locks on the house.
Saturday morning we will dediciate the house.

Praise God - the house was built without any injuries despite a team of inexperienced carpenters.

After we finished the house, we were treated to a trip to a local swimming hole on a nearby creek (more of a river)  There was a strong current that made swimming fun. Eddie jumped off the side of a cliff after one of the locals did so. His necklace broke and we all thought it was down stream somewhere. Darwin - a local guy who lives here with Ron and Linda - dove down in 6-7 feet of water, in a strong current, and FOUND the ring that was on the neckalce. A true miracle!

God IS here!! He is AMAZING!!

In the evening we went to Belmopan for a interdenominational worship on the steps of the capital. Christians from different churches, different countries, all worshipping together and praising God in unity.

Prayers:
team - continued safety. Scott and Kelly as they travel home Saturday.
The Bell's - healing for Mr. Bell. Rest for Mrs. Bell.
Belize - the local churches are involved in a lawsuit with the government to prevent homosexual acts from becoming legalized. Pray for the Supreme Court's decision.

Photos to come later!

Kelly and Scott made it home. Late again. The Atlanta to Charlotte flight was delayed for "critical" maintenance again after we were loaded on the plane. We are both planning on attending church tomorrow. God's blessings on you all.

Made it home safely! Thinking of you all! Praying you all continue to do great works.
Lost my sun glasses somewhere in the shuffle of leaving today, if anyone finds some black sun glasses with silver on the sides grab them and bring them home to me! Hope you all had a blessed day and enjoyed the caves!
Will be at church tomorrow AM.

Love to you all!
