Day 9 – Belize Missions Trip – March 23

On Sunday we woke up at 4am for the Sunrise Service with Hattieville Baptist Church.  Pastor Mark came and picked us up in the bus and brought us to the beach where others from the church met us for the sunrise service.  It was very beautiful as the sun rose.  A lady spoke about the resurrection of Jesus Christ and we had some time of worship led by Mikael.  At about 7:30 we headed back for the hotel, I dozed off for a while on the bus.
The rest of the day we spent at the Global Village.  We had continental breakfast of egg on toast and orange juice.  We watched several movies, journaled and had individual debriefings with Jason and Carolyn where they asked us questions about the trip and then gave us encouragement, and a word they had for us.

Day 7 – Belize Missions Trip – March 21

Friday morning we woke up at 6am after a good nights sleep and headed out at 7am, dropped off our baggage at Global Village Hotel and brought our daypack to Caye Caulker.  
We went snorkeling out at the reef offshore of the caye.  It was very beautiful, and we saw and swam with barracudas, eels, sting rays and various other fish.  I took in a bunch of nasty salty water as I got distracted and put my head too low in the water.  [Pictures of underwater hopefully to come once I get the film from the underwater camera developed and on the computer].  The boat ride to the caye was about 40 minutes and very beautiful but a bit chilly because of the rain the day before.  The craft was pretty much a 25ft speed boat with twin 200hp outboards.  It was very beautiful at the caye and I took a lot of nice pictures.  
During the day we had lunch out at the Happy Lobster restaurant, wandered around, hung out at the beach and went out for a ride on a rented golf cart.
That evening we spent time reflecting on the whole week, praying, affirming each other, and worshiping under the moon and stars on the beach of the resort we were staying in for the night.  It was an amazing time of sharing affirmations with each others after praying over the week we had shared.
