Day Four

It is 6:00 a.m. in Belize and our team is groggily beginning Day Four.  The sun has been up for an hour now and already we can anticipate a day of considerable heat.  Unlike last year, the wind is not blowing in off of the ocean offering relief.

Today we return to work at Unity.  Pastor Betson has many jobs for us to attempt.  Many of the boys have been busy painting and parging.  Some have been helping me work on the construction of a stage in the church.  Joel has been asked to paint a sign on the church, a job that he hopes to start today and I have been asked to build a pulpit, a fascinating, meaningful project, but not all that easy given the absence of our beloved table saw and routers.

Despite being strangers to the heat and humidity of the tropics, we are all in excellent health and good spririts.  We pray that that will continue.
