Belize '09
Today the rest of the group woke up at two to drive the San Francisco International Airport--the Nannini’s and Chad went on their own flights. We got at the airport safely and we were off! We arrived at Houston around noon and caught our connecting fight a half an hour later. We got to Belize International Airport around five and got through immigration and customs smoothly-yes with all that dental supplies. We boarded the small twelve passenger propeller airplane. After flying over the mountainous landscape, accompanied by the beautiful sunset to the west, we landed in the lit up town of Punta Gorda, Belize. Most of our bags made it-one is coming tomorrow morning-and were able to check in the Charleston Inn shortly after our arrival. The kids and Mailin and Gideon Richards met us there. After unpacking our bags we headed to dinner at Marenco’s. We had fried chicken, stewed chicken, beans and rice, plantains, coleslaw, and potato salad. After a satisfying dinner we took a tour of the town with our Belizean friends along the vast Caribbean with Puerto Barrios lighting the sky. We settled down and had our vespers without any music-just our BEAUTIFUL voices. Now, off to bed for tomorrow--church and our first day of the clinic and service projects. Keep praying and we’ll update y’all ASAP. Michael Chew

Chad, Boswig misses you.
HSM and the main service were great today! You are all missed, church has a different feel when so many influential people are gone. But, be encouraged that you are being prayed for unceasingly, and be further strengthened knowing that Gods grace is sufficient for each day! You are a blessing to those you serve and us who admire your selfless faith being worked out in Belize. I know His Spirit will fill you in an uncommon way on this trip as you humbly serve, being Jesus's hands, feet, arms, mouth, etc... The ripple effects of what you are doing will be felt for eternity, and the growth and maturity that results from this trip will alter the course of your lives. May God bless you mightily!
