Belize Update!

Hello all! We are so sorry we have been slacking on updating the blog. Belize is wonderful and we are all so excited to be here. We got in Saturday afternoon, after a long day of travels. Immediately we saw Gideon and his family. Tim gave all the newbies a tour of Punta Gorda, and they got to see the walkabout children. The rest of the team went grocery shopping. Sunday morning we woke up early to eat a delicious Belizean breakfast and got the opportunity to visit Gideon's church. On Sunday afternoon the dental team began the clinics, while they were working on teeth the rest of the team prepared for the week and the presentations that they will be doing in the schools. Sunday night we had takeout dinner and ate it at the clinic with the walkabout kids, after we went back to Gideon's church to show a movie to some residents of the community. Sunday night also came with a wonderful surprise! Our dear friend, Rachel Howden, arrived and surprised the team; we all thought she could not make the trip this year. Monday, was our first full work day. The dental team did a great job and treated numerous patients all day, while the rest of the team embarked into the jungle to teach dental hygiene to over 200 students. After a delicious dinner of beans and rice, shrimp, fish, and chicken we headed to the town center in Punta Gorda to show another movie. That night we had devotions and went to bed to rest up for today! Thank you for all your prayers, we feel them daily! We will update ASAP! :)
