My computer is having some problems that prevent me from using it at all. It is working now, but it may not another time. Just to let you know that if there is not a blog update at the usual times, it is due to computer problems.
Today we get a later start, so an extra hour sleep. We leave for worship at Belmopan Baptist Church 9:45 tis morning. Pastor Norman Willacy is also the principal of the high school we painted yesterday. Our youth will be singing the hymn, "Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy" during the service. This was not in the plans, but they were asked/volunteered, and we know they can sing. They sounded great at rehearsal last night! Say a prayer fir them, they are a little nervous.
We have a full day after church. After a quick change at the BTC and a bag lunch in the vans, we head west to Xunantunich, a Mayan archaeological site near the border with Guatemala. There are several structures that have been excavated there, the central one is El Castillio. It is a pyramid-type structure that rises 130 feet. Climbing the steep stairs gives a great view of the surrounding forest. The site is one of many scattered across Belize, Guatemala, and Mexico. Often spider monkeys are seen in the trees, and where the ferry takes us across the Mopan River we should see iguanas. Along the highway at the entrance to the ferry many local people have market stalls where we can shop. Clarissa Falls for dinner is the last stop before returning to the BTC for devotions. The blog update for the day will be later because we won't return to the BTC until after dinner.
Thank you for your affirming comments and continuing to support the youth and adults in prayer and encouraging words. Pray for safe travel today. Our devotions over the next few nights will be in Philippians, so if you want to follow along, last night was chapter 1, chapter 2 tonight, and so on. Each family is leading the discussion and guiding questions for small groups.
