On the seventh day…

Today was filled with rest.  We joined our brothers and sisters for church in Cristo Rey.  The church met across the road from Presbyterian Day School.  It was special to hear the service in Spanish and translated into English for our benefit.  It was especially moving to hear the Lord’s Prayer spoken in unison in both languages simultaneously.  We were also blessed to experience the Lord’s Supper with our Belizean brothers and sisters in Christ.

In addition to church, we relaxed at a pool located near our hotel and experienced rest.  We are looking forward to returning to work tomorrow!

Prayer Requests:

-          Praise and Thanksgiving to our Lord

-          Thankfulness for rest, beautiful weather, health and safety

-          Requesting continued health and safety for our team
