Belize-Day 1 & 2

Day 1 & Day 2 (Tuesday &Wednesday) 

 On Tuesday we basically arrived, unpacked and attended the welcome service the church had for us.Today was awesome. I love the culture,the healthy and not splurging on junk food way of eating,the Spanish language, the people. I just wanna stay down here and serve he people and learn the language better. I have never Been so glad I took two years of Spanish in high school. I even am learning the like the constant heat and the excercise of playing with the kids while sweating away. I have also learned us in america care way to much about the way we look! Down there ya look the way ya look! And there is so much opportunity to play sports! And they seem so content. Not like the commercials portray them as siting around with sad faces. here is a real shocker I haven't missed my phone iPod or fb one bit!!! It's a simple life and I love it! Today for construction we picked up trash around the church, cleaned the church, while the guys worked on adding a second story on a building behind the church. The kids helped us picked up trash. It was a great way to get to know them. After a wonderful lunch cooked by some of the women from the village I played futbol with some of the girls which was rather interesting but very fun! At 3:30 we started vbs. we had 4 stations. Drama snack craft and sports. I was able to be the in the drama team. 4 of us had actually written the scripts we used. Today we did the 10 lepers which was hysterical. Especially James doing a belly drop in front of Ryan. Then at the beginning and end of each vbs we did music. I got to do motions which I adored. I got to look into every kids eyes and just grin at them and get them all excited! After bible school played volleyball with a 15 year old kid named Manwell while the guys played futbol with the native kids and the girls rested. We talked and played for like a half an hour. It was really interesting. Afterwards Alicia and I got to throw football with this kid named Kevin who was really good. :) that night we kinda ran the church service. Galen preached wih and interpreter and it was hilarious!! I loved how much Spanish I could understand! Great first day and last day of being 16. Ya know what I like sing 16 I don't wanna be 17 :)
