I'm hungry.

But I'll live. Well there are just 6 days left until I leave for Belize. I have SO much to do yet, but trying desperately not to stress myself out too much. I've been having stupid nightmares of planes falling from the sky (I've only ever flown twice), plus I still have another $500 to give the church for the rest of the trip... Not to mention the ever-growing list of things I still need... And to top all that off, I just found out yesterday that I lost my job! BUT, I'm not even going to worry about that until I get back from Belize. It's just not important yet. And it really isn't all that bad, it's definitely manageable.

So, looking onward optimistically towards my trip... all stress/nervousness aside, I'm VERY excited. We were all separated into 3 ministry teams: a work team, a puppet ministry team, and a kids club team. The work team will be doing construction for the most part of their trip. We're building cabins for a camp in the area, and also I believe we are adding to the existing church building in Roaring Creek. (All the teams help with the work in the mornings) The puppet ministry team will be having puppet shows, as well as teaching the older youth in the area how to do it themselves. The puppets they have made are super-cute!! We are leaving the stage and all the puppets there for them to use after we leave. The kids club team (that's the one I'm on) is holding a short version of our church's Vacation Bible School. It has a Canadiana theme, with skits, crafts, games, etc. Besides all of these main ministries, we are also visiting a school to share testimonies, and talk to the kids there. Another day we are going to be visiting orphanages and reading to the children, and just basically loving them and spending time with them! Somewhere in between this crazy schedule we have laid out, we are also doing a few things for ourselves, like visiting some Mayan Ruins, and Goff's Caye, and Belmopan.

This is going to be an incredible experience...
