Advanced Team has Landed in Belize
The Advanced Team arrived in Belize on Thursday to start setting up the preparations for Belize. Well...okay, the advanced team is just me! I arrived in Belize on Thursday and started to pave the way for the team arriving on Monday. We were worried about getting the paperwork from the Belize government but it all came through ...we have an exemption to bring in over 50 laptop computers. The team will bring all the computers and printers in the plane...17 large tubs of luggage! The way is paved and we are ready to start our work next week.

Speak from Your Heart
Let me tell you short story from last year's trip to Belize…on our first day we visited the village of Concepcion in the Corozal District. The schools we visit always have a special welcome ceremony which usually includes assembling the entire school for a formal welcome program and gifts for our mission team. It is customary for the leader of the group to give a welcome speech so I was asked to address the Concepcion primary school students and teachers. As part of my brief speech, I introduced the team. I was especially proud to introduce Davin, my daughter, who was on her first mission trip with me. As I completed my brief talk the school Principal and master of ceremonies took the microphone and handed it to my daughter and asked her to also briefly address the school. As you can imagine, Davin who is 12 year old, was quite intimidated and scared to be standing in front of the entire school in a place that was not at all familiar to her. She responded shyly that she did not know what to say. The master of ceremonies very politely said to her…”That is okay…just speak from your heart”. Davin then proceeded to share some brief comments in front of the entire school. I was so proud of my daughter that day. The reason I share this story is because when we speak from the heart it travels far and touches deeply. So always speak from your heart.
