Jenna and Kristi coming at ya live from Punta Gorda, Belize. We all arrived safely and have been busy at work since we got here. As soon as the kids heard we were in town, they came running...literally :) We have been able to minister to them and spend time with them everyday, including trips to the Caribbean Sea. Yesterday, some of the guys on our team ( Matt and Mark Pine, Tim Barley, Stephen Greenaway, and Matt Sill) helped build a bunk bed for one of the families. ( for those of you who are familiar they built it for Jamilla, Jamika and Mikey) Becky and Janet, our interior designers, outfitted the bed with new sheets and new chairs for the room as well. In the meantime, we've also been able to visit and pray for the local hospital. It was such an encouraging time of prayer and conversation with the nurses and patients there. We've met great people from the Machaka ministry, a discipleship training ministry. Today we're busy at work helping to projects at Da Wata Founatain and more work projects for some more of the locals. We've had many funny moments, memorable moments, encouraging moments, and many meaningful moments. Overall its been a great experience already and the team is so united and just excited to continue to share God's love with these kids and this village. Tomorrow we are taking a water taxi to Puerto Barrios, Guatemala. Thanks for your prayers! :)

Hey there friends! It's so wonderful to hear that you all are having such a great time. I am so excited that the Lord is blessing your time in PG! You get the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus to these children for a week, one of the most rewarding, memorable, and amazing experiences I have ever had. I hope that it is the same for you. Tell all the kids that I miss them, love them, and give them hugs for me. I'm praying for you everyday.

Hi Stephen, Praying for you and good to hear of your work for the kids. Please take a phone picture of the bunk bed! I made a large planter box for school. Mom says it looks like a coffin. I hope to put the plants in it today. Fixed mom's car - thank God. Psalm 90:17
